A senior Secret Service supervisor has been placed on indefinite administrative leave and is not allowed to enter the office after a female employee accused him of assaulting her at agency headquarters . The female agent alleged that she was attending a party with Xavier Morales , her boss , in a Washington , D.C. restaurant when he said he loved her and wanted to have sex with her . After the two employees returned to the office from the party , Morales , 48 , tried to kiss the woman and grabbed her arms when she resisted , according to two people briefed on her statement .
