February 8th, 2018 by WCBC Radio

A former press secretary to Gov. Martin O’Malley told women lawmakers on Wednesday that she was the target of a string of embarrassing incidents of sexual harassment by lawmakers during her eight years of work in Annapolis. Nina Smith recounted her experiences in the state capital as the bipartisan Maryland Women’s Caucus of the Maryland General Assembly considered a series of recommendations to the leadership of the assembly for dealing with harassment.

Smith did not name the individuals she accused of harassing her, but described incidents during the years she worked in Annapolis off an on between 2004 and 2014, ranging from crude jokes to come-ons to outright sexual assault.
