Lawyers for the North Dakota Legislature have documented alleged sexual harassment and threats by a Republican lawmaker and have forwarded a file to legislative leaders for potential action. Documents outlining a pattern of alleged sexually aggressive, lewd, and threatening behavior by Rep. Luke Simons were released Thursday. Legislative Council Director John Bjornson said he decided to release the documents following an incident Tuesday at the Capitol cafeteria where Simons accosted a pair of Democratic lawmakers over a disagreement about wearing a mask. The outburst has prompted scrutiny of other instances of alleged abuse toward colleagues and others.

Be warned, in the following article there may be w rds containing asterisks along with abbreviations (WTF?) that may not be suitable for the feint of heart and certainly not suitable for an elected official that should be representing all North Dakotans.
It s fair to say that as a member of the North Dakota House of Representatives, Luke Simons is pretty grateful that the Legislature just took it s mid-session break. He can breathe a sigh of relief thinking that today s 14 page file filled with documented allegations of sexual harassment and threats will probably just blow over before the Legislature reconvenes on Wednesday March 3rd. Maybe it will. But if I was Representative Simons or his wife and family, I might just mute my phone for the next couple of days. Y know just to enjoy the time off.
