Congressman: EPA Sexual Predator ‘Fed A Steady Diet Of Interns’
The Daily Caller News ^ | 07/31/2015 | Michael Bastasch

Posted on 07/31/2015 2:25:17 PM PDT by george76

Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz had some harsh words for EPA Chief Administrator Gina McCarthy during a hearing Wednesday regarding the agency’s handling of an employee who repeatedly sexually harassed interns.

For the past couple of years, Republican lawmakers have been investigating reports of misconduct at the EPA from employees watching porn everyday while on the job to an agency employee who sexually harassed interns and was not reported to the authorities and continued to work at the agency for years.

“This is a predator who was fed a steady diet of interns,” Chaffetz told McCarthy during the hearing. “The first time this happened he should have been fired and he should have probably been referred to the authorities for criminal prosecution.”

...

Chaffetz remarks come after the EPA inspector general Arthur Elkins told Congress that Peter Jutro, an EPA employee, “engaged in offensive and inappropriate behavior toward at least 16 women, most of whom were EPA co-workers.” Elkins also said very senior EPA officials “were made aware of many of these actions and yet did nothing.”

The IG also noted that Jutro was even promoted to be Assistant Administrator for the EPA’s Office of Homeland Security where he again “engaged in such behavior toward an additional six women.”

Chaffetz went off on McCarthy over the agency’s failure to fire Jutro despite repeated allegations that he was sexually harassing women.

The entire agency engages in offensive and inappropriate behavior toward the American people.

How bad could it be?

Everything was "peer-reviewed."

Why in the Wide Worlds of Sports does the EPA even have an “Office of Homeland Security”?

There’s an entire department that should be looking for a job tomorrow, is my gut.

It appear Jutro “retired” and became a consultant:

M: He was allowed to retire because that is his right.
Even if he were fired, he’d be allowed to retire.

BJ Clinton created the unions that protect these people, through executive order.

How many people know that the President can wipe them all away overnight, .00001%
and now you do.

No, the first time someone reported it someone else would have been fired, so nobody said anything..

And you’d think a bull dyke like mccarthy would be upset over him going after an office full of potential ‘dates’.

Or perhaps that is why she let him be-hoping he would push them towards her?

Who knows what evil lurks in the twisted minds of deviants...
