Georgias ethics chief resigned on Friday amid an investigation into improper workplace conduct, including several reports that he watched porn on his state computer.
Stefan Ritter, who served as executive secretary of the Georgia State Ethics Commission since 2015, was placed on paid leave in January after several staffers filed complaints against him. The commission has not commented publicly on the contents of those complaints.
. . .
The Commission thanks Mr. Ritter for his service and wishes him the best in his future endeavors, Evans said in a statement to HuffPost. We will vigorously investigate the pending complaints and will prosecute those having merit. Promptly appointing a qualified replacement Executive Secretary will ensure this is accomplished.
Multiple outlets reported in January that at least two ethics department employees had filed complaints against Ritter, including allegations that he had pornography on his work computer. The employees also complained about Ritter allegedly failing to show up to work and maintaining irregular hours.

Heck, porn was blocked at my office by the mid 90s. Is Georgia that far behind technologically that they can't block porn in the workplace?

(11,949 posts)Being over 50 I dont watch porn much at all anymore. But being over 50 sometimes it can, well, errrr, move things along with the wife. Who knows fully well.
But at work! On a company computer! Or government, whatever.
This is stupid on steroids!!
The sad part is he is resigning not for misuse of government property. Were he caught watching Russian crash scenes on YouTube no one would care. But Porn! Like 90% of Georgia men arent watching porn on their cell phones.
Stupid and hypocrites!!
