SACRAMENTO, Calif. — An investigation released Thursday by the California Senate concludes a former chief of staff engaged in “sexually inappropriate” behaviour with a female subordinate while employed by the chamber. Investigators said Keigwin likely exposed himself to and engaged in unwanted touching with the woman after he had been drinking at social events. They also found Keigwin engaged in “unwanted sexual conversations” during his time in the Senate but that some conversations “were not unwanted.”Investigators do not name the former female employee who complained about Keigwin and said she stopped participating after her initial interview. The Senate agreed earlier this year to release findings of sexual misconduct investigations involving lawmakers and high-level staff members if the allegations are determined to be well-founded. ——This story has been corrected to reflect that Keigwin is a managing director at Mercury Public Affairs, not a partner.
