Lawmaker who ID'd rape accuser may lose committee assignment

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A Idaho legislative ethics committee decided Tuesday that a lawmaker who publicized the name of a Statehouse intern who reported that she was raped by another lawmaker should be stripped of one of her committee assignments for acting in an a manner “unbecoming” to the state's House of Representatives.

The bipartisan committee voted unanimously to censure Republican Rep. Priscilla Giddings — saying she violated basic standards of conduct by targeting the young intern.

They also said she was evasive and disrespectful to her House colleagues during her ethics committee testimony and accused her of lying to the public in an attempt to paint herself as a victim of the ethics investigation.

But panel members stopped short of recommending more severe penalties, including expelling Giddings from the Statehouse or stripping her of her roles on other legislative committees.

1. I'd say the raper is acting in a manner "unbecoming" to the House of Reps

What am I missing?

2. I think the rapist is a third person.

The person kicked off the committee is a woman.

3. OK, she was wrong for disclosing the intern name

But did anything happen to the guy who was raping the intern?

4. I don't know - first I've heard of the case.

5. He resigned rather than face expulsion.

His case is still being investigated by the Boise PD and they both claim they are victims of a political witch hunt.

Eventually, I'd like to see them both in jail. IMO, Giddings got off easy with a hand slap.
