Katie Hill has been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with an aide. But things are much more complex than that
Rep. Katie Hill. Photo: Zach Gibson/Getty Images The House Ethics Committee announced on Wednesday evening that it was launching an investigation into representative Katie Hill, and her alleged sexual relationships with her legislative director and a staffer on her congressional campaign.
The situation and its ensuing media coverage are troubling and complicated, and have raised questions about abuse, sexual harassment in the workplace, and revenge porn. Here’s what we know. As for claims that she had an affair with her legislative director, Graham Kelly — a relationship that would fully violate the ethics rules — Hill told The Hill these allegations are “absolutely false.”
Revenge porn, or nonconsensual pornography, is illegal in the District of Columbia, and punishable by up to 180 days in jail.
