Michael Queensland, a former Senate clerk in Wisconsin, has resigned following allegations that he forced himself onto an unconscious woman at a hotel.
The Wisconsin Senate's former chief clerk resigned amid a sexual misconduct investigation, according to an investigator's report released Tuesday. Michael Queensland quietly resigned from his Senate post in September. Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu said in a two-sentence statement at the time that Queensland resigned following a 'credible allegation.' He added that Queensland had denied all allegations but didn't reveal what those allegations were.
The report said Queensland resigned after Lessack interviewed him but before the investigation was complete. The report is dated Monday. Queensland did not immediately respond to an email Tuesday from The Associated Press seeking comment, and attempts to reach him by phone were not successful. The report notes an attorney represented Queensland during the interview but doesn't name the lawyer. It's unclear if he currently has an attorney. Online court records show he has not been charged with any crimes in Wisconsin. The Senate chief clerk, a non-partisan position, serves as the chamber’s administrator, handling a variety of tasks ranging from announcing bills on floor session days to tracking the body’s finances and records.
