COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A flood of records have not confirmed accusations that a senior aide to Attorney General Marc Dann sexually harassed two junior staffers.

However, the documents and emerging details make one thing clear: Dann and a circle of his closest aides interacted with a group of young women in the office more like buddies than professional colleagues.

Dann's 28-year-old scheduler, Jessica Utovich, playfully calls Dann names, invites him to drinks, solicits his opinion of her hair and scolds him for his conduct in thousands of e-mails between them released this week.

Meanwhile, the two 26-year-old women who allege harassment say they spent time drinking and having pizza at an apartment Dann shared with two other men.

Dann, 46 and married with three children, holds a statewide office viewed as second only to the governor in its power in Ohio.
