Hayat Norimine, The Idaho Statesman
Apr. 20—The Boise Police Department on Monday told the Idaho Statesman it is investigating an allegation of sexual misconduct against an Idaho House Republican.
Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger, R-Lewiston, was accused of sexual misconduct by a woman he described as an adult volunteer on the legislative staff. A panel of House members found probable cause in an ethics complaint of "inappropriate sexual conduct" submitted by House Republican leaders last month. Von Ehlinger has denied the allegation.
Haley Williams, spokesperson for BPD, told the Statesman on Monday that BPD has "an open investigation into these allegations." Williams said BPD began the investigation in March.
