A glamorous Washington state lawmaker bullied a male aide into sex, then made him run her errands and tried to fire him when he reported her, a lawsuit claims.
Emily Clouse, 30, is said to have begun a 'mutually consensual dating relationship' with the unnamed man after being elected as a commissioner in Thurston County, which includes the state's capital of Olympia.
But the aide alleges he felt unable to reject Clouse's advances because of the power she held over him and says he found the romance 'increasingly unwelcome.'
'It was clear to the Plaintiff, however, that if the Plaintiff wanted to remain employed, he would need to continue his personal intimate relationship of a sexual nature with Commissioner Clouse,' the claim alleges.
Clouse is said to have exploited the man into driving her around, buying her food and drinks and loaning her cash which he says she never repaid, the Spokane Spokesman-Review reported.
He branded her an abuser and reported her behavior to Thurston County's human resources department on July 26.
Clouse, who was sworn into her role in November 2023, tried to fire him 30 minutes later and subsequently accused the aide of sexually assaulting her.
The aide says other Thurston County officials tried to suppress his claims, allegedly asking him 'what amount of money' it would take to make his claims go away.
He was put on administrative leave, which the aide says gave him the impression of being 'guilty of wrongdoing.'
In a statement last week, Clouse's lawyer, Maia Robbins, said that Clouse had just recently ended a relationship with a colleague, but did not specify if it was the aide in question.

If you like your women with green and purple hair, I guess she could be considered glamourous, otherwise not so much.
Glamorous? Not by my definition. Laz...?
Glamorous seems a bit overstated.
Glamorous in an emo sort of way.
Glamourous is relative. We are talking about Washington State.
Yeah the Daily Mail’s idea of “glamorous” is vastly different from mine.
You misspelled emu.
put a “fit screen” attribute in your HTML tag for your pics...
Hideous.

I guess beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder......as a young man I kicked better looking chicks than that to the curb. 😏
Been kissing a tacklebox has she?
Nope, not glamorous.
Not bad by limey standard.
Hit it, with a stick, as many times as it takes.
No job is worth keeping, except Christian”.
Well, it a British paper, so................................
Don’t worry honey, I have something in my tackle box that I can pull that hook right out for ya...
Ditto. Nose rings belong on cattle, not humans.
My Wife is the exact same way except for the glamour and sex part.
