Political insider accused of harassing Missouri Capitol interns can return, with conditions
JEFFERSON CITY • Democratic operative David Poger can return to the state Capitol after a case involving his alleged sexual harassment of interns was dismissed.
In February, the Legislature asked for and obtained a temporary restraining order against Poger barring him from entering or coming within 1,000 feet of the Capitol. The order came after three female interns reported feeling uncomfortable about compliments, invitations to lunch and what they considered inappropriate advances.
But the case was dismissed after officials could not locate Poger to serve him, said David Welch, House counsel.
Instead, Poger will have to inform Capitol Police 24 hours in advance if he plans to come to the Legislature and list who he plans to meet, Welch said.
