Candidate For Lieutenant Governor Facing Harassment Charge

A published report says a candidate for lieutenant governor is facing a harassment charge in Jefferson County.  The Courier-Journal reports Johnathan Masters, who is on a Democratic ticket with retired state engineer Geoff Young, had a pretrial hearing last week on the charge.

Court records show that Masters is accused of calling former Spalding Associate Dean Elizabeth Lodge Rogers, cursing at her and demanding a refund of money after he was kicked out of the school.

When the newspaper reached him by phone, Masters said that Spalding committed "breach of contract" when it threw him out of the school.

Young told the newspaper that he wasn't aware of the charge and that the two would talk, but he said he would "stand behind" Masters.
