COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Newly-released documents reveal new details about the sexual harassment investigation inside Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann's office.

The complaints from two 26-year-old female staffers are public record after the attorney general's office agreed to release them for the sake of transparency, NBC 4's Patrick Preston reported.

With the release, Dann said he is looking forward to the end of the investigation and the truth coming out.

Complaints made by Vanessa Stout and Cindy Stankowski allege repeated sexual harassment by Anthony Gutierrez, director of general services. Gutierrez shared a townhome in Dublin with Dann and Communications Director Leo Jennings, who was suspended earlier this week.

Stout complained of harassment between November and January, saying Gutierrez bought her a sex toy before she was hired and, at one point, told her he would "like to have sex with her."

Stankoski also said that Gutierrez "demanded she come for a drink" in September and "he wouldn't take no for an answer."

Later in that night of drinking with Gutierrez, Stankoski said, Dann called and asked if she was having fun, then allegedly told her to come over to the townhome for pizza. Stankoski said she told Gutierrez she felt weird and he told her she was with the big dogs. Stankoski said she felt trapped.

Once at the townhome, Stankoski said, she needed to lay down. Gutierrez said she could "lay in his room," and she said she thought he would be staying on the couch. But, Stankoski said she awoke "with (her) pants unbuttoned and (Gutierrez) in his underwear."

She later told investigators that his hands were all over her that night.

When asked for his reaction, Dann said on Wednesday that he would not go into details while the investigation is open.

"I'm really looking forward to the end of the investigation, which will not be for months, but weeks from now, when the entire transcript of everybody's interview, all of the documents that have been gathered, all will be released, along with the report. Everybody can take a look at the truth of what happened in the situation. I'm as anxious to learn about it as everybody else is," Dann said.

He said that he has recused himself from it because he could be a witness. Asked if he has considered resigning, Dann vehemently said no.

"That is just ridiculous. I am doing a great job for the people of the State of Ohio. I'm extraordinarily proud of the work that the attorney general's office is doing," he said.

Stankoski went on to describe that during her initial interview, Gutierrez never asked any questions about her resume.

She also described a second incident at a Grove City bar where, Stankoski claims, Gutierrez told her that he breasts got (her) the job. Later that night, Stankoski alleges, Gutierrez told her he wanted to have sex with her. She responded by cussing him out.

Stankoski said Gutierrez arrived at work the next day and reeked of booze, with vomit caked on his nose. Stankoski said he told her he was so drunk he fell asleep behind the wheel of a state vehicle, hit a guard rail and woke up.

The complaint also alleges that Jennings and Gutierrez destroyed text messages. When Jennings was suspended on Monday, the attorney general's office did not explain why and the complaint documents are the first insight into what, if anything, Jennings may have done to warrant suspension.
