Dayton newspaper: General services staffer claims Simpson sexually harassed employee



A Dayton Daily News article posted a couple of hours ago includes an accusation that former Joplin Globe Editor Edgar Simpson sexually harassed an employee during his time as chief of staff to Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann. Simpson was forced to resign from that post earlier today:

Molly Taylor, who worked in the General Services office for a time, said she had to move off of the 17th floor (and transfer) because, "I couldn't work up there anymore, the vulgarity, the sexual harassment, everything that was going on." She said she witnessed sexual harassment between Dann's Chief of Staff, Ed Simpson, and a colleague where he told her to put a coat on because her "nipples were hard." She did it. On another occasion, Simpson complimented the colleague's legs. She also said she witnessed Simpson nearly get into a fight with another staff member.


The article details activity that makes the Ohio Attorney General's office seem more like a frat house than an office where the people's work is being done.

Sheep don't change colors. Simpson's behaved the same way at the Globe and Dan Chiodo looked the other way.
