Legislation creating a process for dealing with allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault against state lawmakers has been introduced in both the state House and Senate, and the bill are receiving support.
Senator Katie Muth (from eastern PA) says lawmakers should be held to a higher standard of moral character and lead by example.
State Victim Advocate Jennifer Storm says she’s encouraged that these issues are finally being addressed.
Storm has been speaking for the woman accusing former State Rep. Brian Ellis of sexual assault. Ellis stepped down last week but has not publicly commented on the allegations. His attorneys have called the accusations “just plain false.”
Ellis has not been charged but an investigation by the Dauphin County district attorney’s office is reportedly continuing.
