Committee starts
The committee met for 2 1/2 hours Monday night and was scheduled to resume hearings Tuesday.
The committee did conclude that Hernandez s throwing of a cell phone at the woman made her uncomfortable in their relationship, and was verbally and physically threatening.
The committee has not yet concluded its findings on the woman identified only as Subject 2, and still has yet to review the allegations raised by the other women.
The report by two lawyers from the Portland firm of Jackson Lewis, released Jan. 26, makes no conclusions about whether Hernandez actually violated a House rule that bars sexual harassment creating a hostile work environment. The rule was broadened in 2019 to cover not only the Legislature and staff members, but also anyone doing business with them. Lafky said some of the allegations against Hernandez predate that rule change.

Report says lawmaker consistently blurred the lines but is silent about violations; investigators upheld three of five allegations.
State Rep. Diego Hernandez will defend himself against outside investigators findings, which are subject to review by a House committee, that he created a hostile work environment for three women in the Capitol.
The 33-page report was officially released Tuesday, Jan. 26, by the Legislative Equity Office, which commissioned the investigation by the Portland firm Jackson Lewis early last year. A news organization, not Pamplin Media Group, obtained an advance copy; some representatives have requested a separate investigation of the leak.
The House Committee on Conduct has scheduled several meetings on the Hernandez case starting Monday, Feb. 1.
