ATLANTA (AP) A suburban Atlanta district attorney has been indicted on charges that he improperly sought to have a municipal court dismiss a charge against the female employee he is accused of sexually harassing.
Paulding County District Attorney Donald Richard “Dick” Donovan was indicted Wednesday for bribery, two counts of false swearing and violating his oath of office.
Donovan is accused of committing bribery when he dismissed a criminal case in Paulding County Superior Court in which the defendant was being represented by the prosecutor of the municipal court in nearby Cedartown. In exchange, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said, Donovan was trying to influence the prosecutor to dismiss a shoplifting case in the Cedartown court that was pending against a woman who worked in his office.
