In January 2023, a campaign staffer for Herschel Walker's U.S. Senate campaign alleged that Schlapp groped him in October 2022 after Schlapp had been drinking. Schlapp denied the allegation. The alleged victim filed charges against Schlapp for battery and defamation. The plaintiff provided records of contemporary phone calls and texts regarding the claims. In August 2023,
The Daily Beast reported that Schlapp had attempted to settle the lawsuit against him for a six-figure sum.
In March 2024, a Schlapp spokesman announced that the suit had been dropped, quoting a statement from the plaintiff saying "The claims made in my lawsuits were the result of a complete misunderstanding, and I regret that the lawsuit caused pain to the Schlapp family" and "Neither the Schlapps nor the ACU paid me anything to dismiss my claims against them."
It turned out that the accuser was paid a settlement of $480,000 by the ACU's insurance company and was restrained from commenting.
In December 2023, two additional allegations of sexual assault by Schlapp against male staffers were reported.
