Idaho Legislative Intern Harassed After Rape

“The harassment began soon after a report by a 19-year-old intern, who alleged an Idaho lawmaker raped her, became public,” the AP reports.

“One state representative sought a copy of the police report and made inquiries into how the young woman herself could be referred for criminal charges for reporting the alleged rape.”

“Another shared links to a far-right blog post that included the intern’s name, photo and personal details about her life with thousands of people in a newsletter and on social media.”

“And members of a far-right, anti-government activist group tried to follow and harass the young woman after she was called to testify in a legislative public ethics hearing.”
