After learning about the incident, the Workforce Investment Agency has contacted authorities to investigate the case.
The official is a division director but the Variety is withholding his name pending the filing of a formal complaint against him by the Attorney General’s Office.
The Variety was told that the DPW official, who had been making sexual remarks to the victim prior to the incident, sexually assaulted her in his office.
The source added that the Attorney General’s Office advised the Department of Public Safety that the AGO would serve a penal summons upon the DPW official instead of the arrest warrant sought by the police.
As of press time last night, the AGO had yet to reply to the Variety’s request for comment.
