Dallas, TX , March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — James S. Bell. PC, the nationally recognized trial law firm representing Dr. Shawn DeRemer, has released an official statement addressing the recent national media reports involving allegations tied to the DeRemer Department of Labor matter, firmly asserting Shawn DeRemer’s innocence after multiple federal and local investigations concluded without charges.
This release comes directly from James S. Bell. PC, the law firm serving as legal counsel for Dr. DeRemer, in response to allegations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate conduct that gained national attention earlier in February. According to the firm, the accusations were fully investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department Sexual Assault Unit, the United States Attorney’s Office, and the Federal Protective Service. Each agency declined to bring charges after reviewing evidence, including surveillance footage, and officially closed the matter.

James S. Bell. PC states that Dr. DeRemer categorically denies every allegation. Investigators determined that the interactions referenced in media reports involved a friendly embrace initiated and controlled by the alleged accusers. Authorities found no evidence of criminal conduct, no forensic findings, no medical reports, and no dispatch records of complaints at the time of the alleged incident. The firm emphasizes that law enforcement did not respond to the Department of Labor in connection with any reported assault during the relevant timeframe.
The statement further asserts that the accusations surfaced more than five weeks after the alleged interaction and were never reported to police or security at the time they were said to have occurred. Prosecutors formally declined to pursue charges, and the investigation was closed after authorities reviewed objective evidence. The firm also notes that there is now an active inquiry into those who allegedly manufactured and leaked the claims.
