The GOP congressman, who covers the 26th District in Western New York, sent a 34-year-old woman he met on the listings site a shirtless photo of himself, along with emails claiming he's "divorced," a "lobbyist" and a "fit fun classy guy."
Lee's office was not responding to the allegations. The two-term Congressman was "unavailable," as was his press secretary and anyone else in his office, according to the person who picked up the phone at his Longworth House Office Building suite. A spokesman told Gawker that Lee's email account was hacked into.
The woman, who was not identified by the website, placed an ad in the "Women for Men" section of the listings site on Jan. 14, asking someone to prove to her that not all congressional lobbyists "look like toads."
A man named Christopher Lee responded with a photo describing himself as 6 feet tall, 190 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. He also said he was 39 years old and promised "not to disappoint," according to the e-mails published by Gawker.
