Idaho House Ethics Committee hears testimony on complaint against Lewiston Representative

April 29, 2021 An Idaho House Ethics Committee heard testimony Wednesday to decide if Lewiston Representative Aaron von Ehlinger was guilty of conduct unbecoming with regard to allegations of unwanted sexual contact with a 19-year-old legislative staff member in March. During the 5 hour hearing, the committee heard arguments from the 38-year-old von Ehlinger’s attorney, along with the unnamed accuser and several other House members. The 5 member committee is charged with determining if von Ehlinger violated House ethics rules related to the conduct of the body’s representatives. The Ethics Committee can recommend that von Ehlinger be reprimanded, censured, expelled, or have the allegations dismissed, but it’s up to the full House to pass final judgment.

House Ethics Committee votes to censure, suspend pay for von Ehlinger

April 29, 2021 An Idaho lawmaker accused of sexual assault by a 19-year-old legislative intern has resigned after an ethics committee found he should be formally censured. The investigation into Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger began in March after a young staffer reported he raped her in his apartment after the two had dinner at a Boise restaurant. Von Ehlinger has denied all wrongdoing and maintains he had consensual sexual contact with the young woman. He resigned Thursday after an ethics committee unanimously agreed that he engaged in “behavior unbecoming” and recommended that he be suspended without pay for the rest of the legislative session. The Boise Police Department is investigating the allegations, and von Ehlinger has not been charged.
