According to the KHP, the allegations stemmed from a pair of interactions between Dawes and a female colleague. In one instance, Dawes reportedly complimented the colleague on her appearance, saying, “how nice it was to see a female really taking care of herself.” A subsequent email from Dawes to the same colleague began with the line, “Just a note to tell you that I think you look absolutely amazing today!” The colleague, who found these remarks inappropriate and perceived them as sexual advances, reported the incidents to her supervisors.
