Pam Roach kicked off sex trafficking panel

OLYMPIA, Wash. - Republican Sen. Pam Roach has been kicked off of a legislative task force following complaints that she verbally abused sex trafficking victims.

Democratic Lt. Gov. Brad Owen sent Roach a letter Monday removing her from the Human Trafficking Task Force after he received "numerous complaints" about her alleged conduct at a Dec. 14 meeting of the panel.

"You attacked agency staff, persons both present and absent, stakeholders and persons who have miraculously survived being victims of trafficking," Owen said in the letter.

"Although I obviously am disturbed by your treatment of the representatives of state agencies and valuable interest groups, I am horrified that your abuse extended to the survivors of trafficking," he said.

Roach was banned from the Senate Republican Caucus in 2010 after leaders said she repeatedly mistreated staff and should get counseling to manage her anger. She was later allowed to back into caucus.
