Sherwood, Ore settle beating suit

Lawyers and the congressman’s office refuse comment on details.

By KEVIN AMERMAN kamerman@leader.net

U.S. Rep. Don Sherwood and the woman who said he beat her throughout their five-year affair settled a lawsuit Tuesday.

The settlement came one day after attorneys for 29-year-old Cynthia Ore of Rockville, Md. withdrew from the case. Ning Ye, a Washington D.C. attorney, replaced the law firm of Regan, Halperin & Long of Washington on Monday.

Ye would not disclose details of the settlement, nor would he comment on the circumstances that led to the dismissal of Ore’s former attorneys and his hiring.

“I’m not authorized to make a comment on this,” Ye said. “I cannot give any details, otherwise I can be sued.”

I hope Ore, the mistress, settled for lots of money.
