( CNN ) Just as the agency begins to recover from a series of high-profile missteps , the Secret Service is facing yet another scandal . A female employee accused Xavier Morales , a supervisor within the agency , of assault after he made sexual advances at her , according to The Washington Post . `` The woman told police and agency investigators that Morales , her boss , told her during the party at Capitol City Brewing Company that he was in love with her and would like to have sex with her , '' and later tried to kiss her in the office , according to a report from The Washington Post . During the incident , he `` grabbed her arms when she resisted '' and the two tussled until Morales gave up , sources told the paper . The Post reports that the March 31 party was in celebration of Morales ' new assignment as head of the Louisville field office . A Secret Service spokesperson confirms that Morales was placed on administrative leave and his security clearance was suspended . This incident was first reported on April 2 , and Secret Service Director Joe Clancy was briefed that afternoon . Clancy called the allegations `` very disturbing . '' `` Any threats or violence that endangers our employees in the workplace is unacceptable and will not be tolerated , '' he said in a statement . This is just the latest chapter for an organization embroiled in scandal over the past several months . Last month , two top-ranking officials were suspended following an incident at a White House command post during an investigation of a possible bomb . Clancy was not made aware of the episode until five days later . The agency has also faced scrutiny for another lapse in late January when a drone crash-landed on the White House lawn . Secret Service Director Julia Pierson resigned in September after a fence-jumper gained access to the East Room of the White House . Earlier in September , an armed security contractor was allowed to get into an elevator with President Barack Obama during a trip to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta . An independent report released in December found that the Secret Service is stretched `` beyond its limits , '' needing more training , more staff , and a director from outside its ranks . Clancy , who formally assumed the post in February , is a 27-year veteran of the agency . `` It 's going to take time to change some of this culture , '' Clancy said at a House Appropriations Committee hearing last month . `` There 's no excuse for this information not to come up the chain . That 's going to take time because I 'm going to have to build trust with our workforce . '' The incident will be further investigated by the Office of the Inspector General .
