FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) â Kentuckyâs juvenile justice commissioner has agreed to resign, ending a dispute over her employment after she was dismissed following an investigation of alleged sexual harassment.
The announcement of her departure came Thursday afternoon, after media had reported this week that LaShana M. Harris remained employed more than six weeks after the Beshear administration acknowledged she was fired.
Harris voluntarily resigned but will be paid through July 31, media outlets reported on Thursday. She also agreed to release the state from any legal claims or liabilities.
Earlier this week, a Justice and Public Safety Cabinet spokeswoman confirmed Harris was still employed by the cabinet.
