A Louisville lawmaker was given a public reprimand and ordered to pay $2,000 to end a sexual harassment probe.
Several women accused Representative Daniel Grossberg of sexual harassment, claiming he sent inappropriate text messages about their appearance and reached out to them late at night.
Members of the state’s Democratic party, including Governor Andy Beshear, called for his resignation after the allegations surfaced, but Grossberg refused to resign.
Monday, the Kentucky Legislative Ethics Commission said the parties agreed there may have been enough evidence for a hearing and reached a settlement. The agreement means the ethics complaints have been dropped.
Grossberg agreed to two separate $1,000 fines, a public reprimand and is currently in counseling.
