Idaho Republican resigns from State Senate after sexual harassment charge.
As was first reported by IdahoReporter.com, the Idaho Senate career of John McGee, a Republican from Caldwell, is over.
Senate Pro Tem Brent Hill, R-Rexburg, announced McGee’s resignation at a Wednesday afternoon press conference, telling reporters that the Caldwell Republican has been accused of sexual harassment by a legislative aide.
Hill wouldn’t release the name of the female aide, saying he would like to protect her privacy. Hill said that she is not a minor and has since been put on paid administrative leave.
Senate leadership was notified of the allegations Feb. 18. Hill said he immediately reassigned the staffer to different duties before discussing the matter further.
