FRANKFORT, Ky. — A 2015 memo from the former chief of staff of the Kentucky House Republican Caucus says a GOP lawmaker was accused of making “unwanted verbal advances” on a female courier. The woman accused Stewart of making inappropriate comments to her calling her after work hours on her personal cellphone in 2015. Stewart, who represents a district in eastern Kentucky, would be at least the sixth Kentucky lawmaker accused of sexually harassing behaviour in the past year. Last week, Metcalf sued the Legislative Research Commission, saying he was fired in retaliation for him reporting the inappropriate behaviour of multiple lawmakers. The Legislative Research Commission denied a request from AP last year for copies of all records relating to sexual harassment complaints and settlements involving elected officials.
