Sen. Gene Davis has been removed from all committee assignments and is being urged to resign. An independent investigation found that Davis ‘more likely than not’ violated Senate harassment policies.
“We strive to create and maintain to have a respectful and professional work environment and are committed to addressing any allegations. I want to reiterate that the Senate does not and will not tolerate workplace harassment, which is why I directed an independent investigation to evaluate the allegations,” Adams said in a statement.
In a text message sent to The Salt Lake Tribune, Weglinski said on Wednesday, “This whole process has been emotional and exhausting, but I’m happy about the findings and conclusion. More than anything though, I want everyone to remember that I wasn’t the only victim and there were others before me, and that their experiences were just as valid as mine.”Facebook post
In an interview with investigators, Weglinski said that on one occasion, she was wearing open-toed shoes and reclining in a chair when Davis grabbed her toes as if playing “little piggies.” She estimated he repeated the behavior “four or five times” during her time working with him. Although investigators couldn’t find witnesses to substantiate the first allegation, they found that Davis likely “invaded Ms. Weglinski’s personal space.” During the investigation, they wrote, “It became apparent to us that Sen. Davis casually touched Ms. Weglinski without apparent thought as to Ms. Weglinski’s boundaries.”
The series he showed, which a witness recalled as “You’re the Worst” on Hulu, is rated TV-MA, meaning its content is intended for mature audiences. That witness described it as “raunchy” with “all kinds of nudity and sex,” and said they were “bugged” that Davis was viewing the show while an intern was in the room.
Weglinski told investigators that she delayed coming forward with the accusations because she did not want them to be labeled as a political ploy during the Democratic primary election, which Davis lost to challenger Nate Blouin, and because of the imbalance of power between her and the senator.
