The Executive Branch Ethics Commission has fined a former assistant director for mistreating women.
Kenneth "Scott" King told female employees to wear short skirts and high heels to meetings in order to get what they want, according to a settlement agreement. He also allegedly told one female employee to show him her breasts and would point out which body parts of his female employees he and other male
supervisors preferred.
King did not admit those allegations. But he did not contest the charges, according to a settlement agreement which came with a $2,750 fine and a public reprimand. A call to King's attorney was not immediately returned.
Eight current or former Fish and Wildlife employees have been fined more than
$21,000 since January. The commission hired a new commissioner in May.
