April 14, 2008: Second Top Administrator Placed On Leave

Attorney General Spokesman Ted Hart would not provide details, but said the suspension was related to the sexual harassment investigation.

Gutierrez and Jennings shared a Dublin condominium with Dann in 2006.

April 15, 2008: Details In AG's Office Sexual Harassment Claim

The attorney for the accusers, Cindy Stankoski and Vanessa Stout, said his clients were harassed repeatedly over a period of months, and that the harassment is documented in text messages, journal writings and witness accounts.

One of the alleged incidents is said to have taken place on Sept. 10, 2006 and the events she claimed took place at the Dublin townhome shared by Dann, Jennings and Gutierrez.

Stankoski said she was pressured by her supervisor, Gutierrez, to go out for drinks. Later that evening, Stankoski said, Dann persuaded her by phone to come to the townhome.

Stankoski said she fell asleep and woke up with her pants unbuttoned and Gutierrez lying next to her in his underwear.

She said he later admitted that he unbuttoned her pants and told her that he had wanted to have sex with her.

April 16, 2008: Officials Release Sexual Harassment Complaints

Officials with the attorney general's office release the complaints made by Stout and Stankoski.

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.

Stankoski 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.

April 17, 2008: Investigators Search For State Employee's Phone Messages

The sexual harassment investigation inside the attorney general's office hits a snag as investigators search for phone messages from Gutierrez.

Investigators asked the state's Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation to examine the Blackberry used by Gutierrez, but the initial attempts to access the Blackberry failed -- the device was locked up.

April 18, 2008: Criminal Complaint Filed

Stankoski files a criminal complaint regarding the night of Sept. 10 and the events she alleges took place at the Dublin townhome.

April 21, 2008: NBC 4 Awaits E-mails From Attorney General's Office

NBC 4 awaits thousands of e-mails between Dann and his scheduler Jessica Utovich. Utovich was at the Dublin townhome shared by Dann, Gutierrez and Jennings on the same night that a female co-worker claims she was sexually harassed.

April 22, 2008: NBC 4 Investigates Attorney General's Inbox

Target 4's Patrick Preston pores over thousands of e-mails exchanged by Attorney General Marc Dann and his scheduler. The messages between Dann and Utovich depict a casual and friendly working relationship.

After searching through roughly 2,200 emails exchanged between September and November of 2007 Preston could not find a single reference to Stout or Stankoski, the two women who filed the complaint.

Lawyers from the attorney general's office redacted (or edited) dozens of e-mails with black marker. In other words, some portions of the e-mails were labeled privileged and confidential.

The markings cover up discussions of legal cases, personal cell phone numbers and information on Dann's kids but not sexual harassment.

The e-mails also show both Dann and Utovich were familiar with open public records policy. Utovich and Dann often ask the other to call to speak on the phone.

In two cases, Utovich wrote that she didn't want to write certain subject matters down in print.

Dann said Utovich came over to his Dublin condo to give him hard copies of his schedule.

The e-mails demonstrate Dann's desire to have his schedule faxed, e-mailed or delivered directly to him.

April 22, 2008: Police: Criminal Charges Will Not Be Filed Against Gutierrez

Columbus police say no criminal charges will be filed against Gutierrez. According to a press release, after the interview, officials determined that there is no evidence that criminal acts took place and no criminal charges will be filed.

April 29, 2008: Did Accuser In AG Investigation Get Job Because Of Car Crash?

Did one of the accusers get her job because of a car accident?

NBC 4's Patrick Preston asked that question to Chris Stout, the father of Vanessa Stout -- who is one of the two women accusing Anthony Gutierrez of sexual harassment.

NBC 4 obtained a document that shows Gutierrez backed his state vehicle into Chris Stout's vehicle last August -- outside the Dublin townhome that Gutierrez shared with Dann and Communications Director Leo Jennings. When a state employee called Stout about the damage, he reportedly said not to worry about it.

When the question was asked to Chris Stout, he simply said, "No Comment."

May 2, 2008: 2 Fired In AG Office Investigation

Officials release the results of the internal investigation into sexual harassment allegations.

The investigation recommended Director of General Services Anthony Gutierrez be terminated because of what it called harassment of employees, improperly fraternizing, threatening subordinates and recklessly and improperly using state property.

The investigation determined Director of Communications Leo Jennings improperly interfered with the investigation in a way that way in violation with office policy. Jennings was terminated as well.

Ed Simpson, chief of Policy and Administration, was determined to have failed to properly supervise and manage Gutierrez and Jennings. Simpson resigned on May 1.

Dann's scheduler, Director of Travel Services, Jessica Utovich, also resigned on May 1, effective May 8.

May 5, 2008: Dann Continues To Work

State officials have asked Attorney General Marc Dann to resign after he admitted to having a romantic relationship with one of his employees and amid an investigation into sexual harassment involving his aides.

Dann told Strickland that he didn't intend to step down, according to Strickland.

May 5, 2008: Women React To Dann's Refusal To Resign

Stankoski and Stout say they are walking on eggshells now with Dann still presiding over the attorney general's office.

"When you see the top man acting the way he acted, having relationships with his staff, inviting people to his homes for drinks and, you know, having a bachelor pad, when people under him see that he acts like that, then they're going to think it's OK too," Stankoski said.

The women said they don't believe he's been honest and they don't believe he's taken full responsibility for the harassment that they endured.

"He wasn't aware of anything that was going on, to me that had to have been a lie. He had to have known," Stankoski said.

Stankoski and Stout said they don't want to be the ones to call for Dann's resignation, but they're not defending him either.

May 9, 2008: Dann Addresses Calls For Resignation

Dann says he wants to make his intentions as attorney general clear.

"I don't think there is any chance I would step down," he said. "I was elected by the people of the state. I have made mistakes. I've done several things that I'm very, very upset about and embarrassed about. I take responsibility for those things. I've apologized and now I'm going back to work to re-earn the trust of the people of the state."

When asked if he thought he committed an impeachable offense, Dann said, "I don't think that's true. And so, again, that's up to the house and the senate to decide."

May 11, 2008: Ohio Dems Strip Dann Of Endorsement
