The man who has accused Matt Schlapp, the influential leader of the Conservative Political Action Conference, of sexual misconduct came forward publicly Wednesday after a judge said he must use his real name to proceed with a lawsuit.

Carlton Huffman, 39, a longtime aide to Republican campaigns who lives in Raleigh, N.C., said he plans to amend the previously anonymous lawsuit, which seeks $9.4 million in damages for alleged sexual battery and defamation.

“I’m not backing away,” Huffman said in an interview with The Washington Post. “I’m not going to drop this. Matt Schlapp did what he did and he needs to be held accountable.”

Schlapp, 55, has denied Huffman’s claims that he groped his crotch and invited him to his hotel room during an October trip to Atlanta to campaign for Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker. Schlapp’s lawyer argued Wednesday that by proceeding anonymously, Huffman was trying to avoid scrutiny of his own record — including expressing extremist views on a white-supremacist blog and radio show more than a decade ago.

2. He's kind of cute for a republican

Matt got turned on by him and couldn’t use his self control.

I always say the men that scream loudest about being anti gay have gay fantasies themselves. A straight man who has no problem with his sexuality wouldn’t care about gay men.

3. I thought so, too.

6. Shirt and tie are ok, but definitely not that jacket

7. He should been wearing a burka - obviously too tempting for Schlapp-dick.

It's his own fault obviously.

(Yes - that's sarcasm.)

5. Of course, he's a white-supremacist and the judge called him out on it! LOL!

Can't have all your Nazi "bros" calling you a $@. Looks like his Twitter account used the words "bro" and "patriot".

Sorry, but I don't agree with other posters that he's "kind of cute for a Republican". His look screams vile homophobe to me. It's probably his internal voice telling him, "Oh no! They're going to find out I like guys! Better sue this guy!" Do you think that Schlapp had no idea that this guy was interested in guys before he made his move? Doubtful. I imagine they were drinking too much, talked too much, and opened up too much. Good luck proving your case for $9.4 Million, "bro".

8. Wonder if Herschel supported his campaign worker?

Then again, Schlapp is also a campaign worker.

Or is Herschel just ignoring it?
