Newly elected House Democrat under investigation for sexual harassment

Congressman-elect Brian Poindexter, a Democrat who recently defeated embattled Rep. Max Miller (R) in a heated House race in Ohio, is under investigation for alleged sexual harassment.

While full details of the allegation were not immediately made public, according to a Poindexter aide who was granted anonymity to discuss the investigation, the alleged harassment involved what Poindexter “thought was an innocuous compliment to a volunteer.”
