Sauer allegedly used the account to send direct messages to men “who believed they were communicating with me,” Kelly wrote in the document obtained by Politico. Kelly told Politico that she was “sickened” by the “betrayal.”The allegations against Sauer are the latest in sexual harassment accusations to hit Illinois’s state capitol. In February, Madigan removed a top aide after the Chicago Tribune reported on sexual harassment allegations from a woman who was working on Democratic House campaigns. He had not withdrawn his candidacy as of early Thursday, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections. Before his election as state representative, Sauer served on a local county board and as a forest preserve commissioner.
