No ethics complaint expected against state senator
January 05, 2009 20:28 EST
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- The president of the Iowa Senate says he doesn't think Sen. James Seymour will face an ethics complaint after reports surfaced last year that Seymour had solicited a prostitute before he ran for his seat.
According to the Des Moines Register, Seymour, of Woodbine, paid $90 in exchange for purported sexual favors to a decoy prostitute working for the Des Moines police in March 2002, the same day he filed papers for his first run at the Senate.
Senate president Jack Kibbe has told the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier that he hasn't seen an ethics complaint filed yet against Seymour in the Senate and doesn't think one will be filed.
Seymour was re-elected in 2008.
