Formal sexual harassment complaint filed against Sen. Randy Baumgardner
A former legislative aide has filed a sexual harassment complaint against Republican state Sen. Randy Baumgardner for inappropriately touching her.
The woman alleges that Baumgardner, of Hot Sulphur Springs, slapped and grabbed her buttocks about four times over a three month period during the 2016 legislative session when she worked at the State Capitol.
