The House Ethics Committee issued a public statement Monday asking victims of congressional sexual misconduct to come forward and published a record of publicly disclosed investigations involving House members spanning decades.

The bipartisan panel, chaired by Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.), revealed it had conducted 20 sexual misconduct investigations since 2017. Five cases did not appear on the list. The committee’s chief counsel and staff director Thomas A. Rust did not immediately reply to The Epoch Times about the omissions.
