Florida lieutenant governor target of ex-aide’s sex allegations
TALLAHASSEE -- As part of her defense in a criminal trial, a former aide to Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll said she caught the lieutenant governor in a compromising position with another aide shortly before being fired last year.
The allegations are part of the ongoing prosecution of Carletha Cole, a former aide to Carroll who shared a recording of a conversation with Carrolls chief of staff with a reporter for the Florida Times-Union, a Jacksonville newspaper, after she was fired.
Cole has been charged with disclosing that recorded conversation.
Coles motion, filed in response to the states efforts to keep some records sealed, portrays a dysfunctional office where Carrolls aides frequently recorded conversations and the lieutenant governor pushed for a website where fans could follow her. It also says Steve MacNamara, former chief of staff for Gov. Rick Scott, viewed Carroll as a loose cannon, in the words of the filing.
