She also claims that the peer targeted victims at weekend party events to help women run for election, and that the "casting couch" situations ended many women's political careers, including her own.
Last night, Ms Smith told Sky News that she had offered to make an official complaint that Lord Rennard had made inappropriate sexual advances towards her.
It apparently contradicted the contention by the party leadership that no formal allegations had been made.
She said that she had made clear she was "willing to take this all the way" including to the police.
Ms Smith said her initial complaint to then chief whip Paul Burstow in April 2007 "wasn't listened to" so she "took the matter to various other people and really kept hitting brick walls".
Lord Rennard has strongly denied the allegations against him.
