Four sexual harassment complaints filed in Legislature over past 15 years
Four sexual harassment complaints have been filed in the state Legislature over the past 15 years, including one in the Assembly this year and another years-old case that led to a former senator’s aide getting a $75,000 taxpayer-financed settlement.
Jana Williams, a former aide to then-Dem Sen. Spencer Coggs, did not reach the settlement over her sexual harassment complaint filed with the Legislature, but in a separate case with the Department of Workforce Development.
None of the other complaints resulted in settlements, the chief clerks’ offices in the Senate and Assembly said in response to a WisPolitics.com request.
The most recent complaint was filed this year. But the chief clerks declined to release details on any of the four complaints beyond the year in which they were filed.
