Prosecutor Douglas calls email release ‘distraction’

Full post here

“A distraction” is how Kootenai County Prosecutor Bill Douglas describes the public release of several sexually explicit e-mails exchanged between his employees. In an interview Thursday, Douglas said “the climate is fine” in his office, despite recent allegations of sexual harassment against his No. 2 prosecutor and the release of the e-mails, which included attachments with nude pictures of women, sex videos and a picture of a toddler with his genitals exposed. Douglas said he had yet to address his employees about the e-mails, which county officials said clearly violated the county’s policies on use of the Internet and e-mail. He said he thought it was evident to his employees that he had no tolerance for obscene e-mails and messages like the ones the county released late Tuesday — Taryn Brodwater, Spokesman-Review.
