Conyers returns to Detroit amid harassment claims

[FarCenter]

The son of Democratic Michigan Congressman John Conyers says it’s disconcerting to see how his father is being treated in the wake of allegations that the longest-serving member of the House made unwanted sexual advances.

John Conyers III spoke to reporters early Wednesday outside his family’s Detroit home, saying it’s “very unfortunate to see him fight so long for so many people and to automatically have the allegations assumed to be true.”

Conyers’ son noted that “with sexual assault, women are to be believed.”

Aside from the media assembled outside Conyers' home Wednesday morning, and the cars that passed, there was little human movement on the stretch of Seven Mile the congressman calls home.
