Michigan lawmaker accused of harassing a female colleague can come to work but only with an escort

A Michigan lawmaker, State Rep. Steve Marino (R) accused of harassing his female colleague will need to be escorted by House sergeants to the House floor and his office to prevent potential violations of a personal protection order, according to a spokesperson for House Speaker Jason Wentworth.

Marino, R-Harrison Township, is legally allowed to come to the House floor for work despite a personal protection order recently granted to fellow Rep. Mari Manoogian, D-Birmingham, Wentworth spokesperson Gideon D’Assandro said.

Marino has been asked to inform House sergeants when he comes into either the Capitol or House Office Building and remain confined to his desk, in the House Republican caucus room or on his floor of the House Office Building. He will need to be escorted by a sergeant when heading to his office or the House floor “just to make sure that there’s no contact between the two,” D’Assandro said.

“He can be here for caucus meetings and votes,” D’Assandro said. “That’s what’s allowed under the law.”
