Former NorCo ADA Accuses Kane Chief of Staff of Sexual Harassment

Michele Kluck is a former Northampton County Assistant District Attorney who left for the state Attorney General's Mobile Street Crime Unit in September 2013. She reported to Jonathan Duecker, who is currently Kane's acting Chief of Staff. According to Kluk, this unit was blowing off some steam at a Hazleton bar in February 2014 when Duecker reached up the back of her blouse and touched her thigh. Although she discussed this matter with her immediate supervisor, she took no further action. The state Office of professional Responsibility approached her, not the other way around.

You'd think that a female prosecutor who is claiming sexual harassment would get some sympathy from Attorney General Kathleen Kane, who has claimed at times that she is the victim of sexists. But you'd be wrong. Her spokesperson is painting Kluk as an unwitting dupe being used by people who want Duecker and Kane out.

I see.

"Ah, but the strawberries, that's, that's where I had them, they laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, with geometric logic, that a duplicate key to the ward room icebox did exist, and I've had produced that key if they hadn't pulled the Caine out of action. I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officer. [He pauses - looked at all the questioning faces that stared back at him, and realizes that he has been ranting and raving] Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory. If I left anything out, why, just ask me specific questions and I'll be glad to answer them."

I want Kane out, too.

Reached up the back of her blouse and touched her thigh? Has she standing on her head at the time?

Unlike you, he probably has two arms.

I don't understand. The article says he reached up with his one hand and touched her thigh. How could that happen?

It does not say that. All you establish is that you're an idiot with a first grade reading comprehension

Bernie this is Scranton News Papers I saw it today while SERVING papers on the VA for a Federal complaint . Now I have to say the Ag is an attractive lady ,but the timing of this complaint will put her in the middle of her malfeasance on other issues .Right ?

This lady may be a Defense Psychic case before this is over .She is under the gun professionally on Constitutional issue and she is separated maritally .The poor woman has to be under pressure that IS insurmountable !And maybe some clown thought she may make out to be a 'comfort' woman --if true he is an asshole.If not true she is setting up the Commonwealth for an action .
