Kane's chief of staff accused of sexual harassment

Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane's new chief of staff has been accused by an assistant state prosecutor of making inappropriate and unwanted sexual advances.

Deputy Attorney General Michele Kluk confirmed in an interview Thursday that she reported the February 2014 incident to her superiors shortly after it occurred - more than a year before Kane promoted Jonathan Duecker, a former supervisor of the office's narcotics agents, to the new post.

In addition, a second woman who works in the office has told supervisors that Duecker had sexually harassed her, according to people familiar with the woman's account. Efforts to learn details of that allegation were unsuccessful Thursday.

Kluk, who prosecuted drug cases, said her supervisor referred the report to top aides to Kane. She said she took no further action.
