A Nebraska lawmaker is under investigation for sexual harassment after reading a graphic account of rape on the floor of the Legislature. State Sen. Steve Halloran invoked a fellow senator's name while reading from the memoir 'Lucky' by Alice Sebold, causing controversy. The Legislature's Executive Board announced the investigation, with Sen. Ray Aguilar filing the harassment complaint.
The investigation aims to ensure a safe workplace environment for all members of the Legislature and staff. A panel of three lawmakers will oversee the investigation, hiring an outside investigator. A report is expected within 45 days.
