The Kentucky General Assembly cannot withhold records related to a sexual harassment complaint filed against a state lawmaker, the Kentucky Court of Appeals ruled Friday.
The appeals court said the Open Records Act entitles the Herald-Leader to view state records related to the complaint that a legislative staffer made in 2015 against former state Rep. Jim Stewart III, R-Flat Lick, and any investigations that resulted. The Herald-Leader agreed for the staffer’s name to be redacted.
