A FEMA worker miles from the area still devastated by superstorm Sandy, allegedly wandered into a married mother’s home on Staten Island on Jan. 29 and forcibly touched and harassed the woman before she was able to run outside.

“I don’t consider myself a victim, but if you come down to it, I am a victim and I’m a victim being victimized by an agency that is supposed to help.”

Samantha is still trying to come to grips with what happened inside her Bullshead home on Staten Island the morning of January 29th.

The 36-year-old married mother of two agreed to share her exclusive story with PIX 11 News but asked that we shield her face and not use her last name.

“I was on the top landing of the stairs and I looked down and he saw himself in.”

Within seconds, Troy Donahue, a 35-year-old FEMA employee dressed in FEMA clothing and sporting credentials, was in her living room uninvited.

“He said he was here from FEMA friends and family doing an interview (or) investigation for people that are living with other family members.”

This raised red flags, as her family was 8 miles away in Midland already been dealing with FEMA, she said.

Samantha got a bad feeling, and, before she knew it, “He approaches me, he’s tickling me from my hands up to my arm telling me ‘Ooh I had to come up here and talk to you, you’re just the cutest thing.’”

“I don’t know what else you need here, but I gotta go and so do you,” Samantha replied.

Samantha then ran down the stairs to her yard so that someone might see Donahue.  “I was legitimately in fear for my life,” she said.

In plain view of her neighbors, Donahue continued to harass her undeterred.  “He proceeded to write his number on a card,” she said.  “The card was filled with FEMA information.”
