BOISE – Documents obtained Tuesday from the Idaho Attorney General’s office show that the investigation involving a former state lawmaker is for possible sexual abuse.
Canyon County Prosecutor Bryan Taylor asked Attorney General Lawrence Wasden on Oct. 25 to take over the investigation due to an undisclosed conflict of interest in the case involving 36-year-old Brandon Hixon.
According to an Oct. 25 agreement between the two offices, Taylor wrote “Brand Hixon, sexual abuse allegations” in the subject line but did not detail any other claims while handing over the case to the attorney general’s office. The attorney general’s office also heavily redacted an email marked “confidential” summarizing Hixon’s case.
Wasden’s spokesman Scott Graf provided the agreement to the Associated Press on Tuesday after the story was first reported by the Idaho Statesman.
