The politician was accused of rape by a 19-year-old intern in March who said that he sexually assaulted her in his apartment after they had dinner.
A former Republican lawmaker from Idaho is in jail on rape charges following his September 25 arrest in an Atlanta airport.
Police issued an arrest warrant for von Ehlinger on September 9 but he was out of the country on what he said was a pre-planned trip to Central America. As a result, he was considered a fugitive from justice. Former Idaho state Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger, left, R-Lewiston sits next to his attorney Edward Dindinger, center, and Idaho Deputy Attorney General Emma Nowacki before a legislative ethics committee on April 28. Von Ehlinger faces two felony charges related to sexual assault.
The group wasn't investigating whether von Ehlinger had committed a crime but whether his conduct was"unbecoming of a House member."
