California lawmaker (R) accused of sexual harassment by former staffer countersues [View all]

In the latest development in a salacious Sacramento legal saga, a California state senator this week filed a countercomplaint against her former chief of staff — who alleged she sexually harassed him while he worked for her — claiming that he was involved in the 2001 murder and disappearance of Washington intern Chandra Levy.

State Sen. Marie Alvarado Gil (R-Jackson) alleged that former staffer Chad Condit once warned her he “knows how to make people disappear,” according to court papers filed in Sacramento County Superior Court on Tuesday.

Condit, according to the lawsuit, was referring to his personal involvement in the unsolved murder of Levy, who worked for Condit’s father, former Rep. Gary Condit (D-Ceres), with whom she also allegedly had an affair.

According to the suit, the senator began to look into the Levy case for the first time after Condit’s alleged comments.
