Florida Lt. Governor had Lesbian Affair with Top Aide, Filing Claims

[corruptrelic]

A Latina aide to the lieutenant governor of Florida has been caught up in a sex scandal involving her boss.

A former employee of Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll claims the Sunshine State’s second in command had a tryst with top aide Beatriz Ramos, and even caught them in a “compromising position” inside Carroll’s office.

The lieutenant governor denies the allegations, which were included in a court filing made late last week by the attorney representing former top aide Carletha Cole. Cole was arrested last October on charges that she gave an illegally taped conversation with another Carroll aide to a newspaper reporter.

Cole's attorneys made the filing in response to prosecutors' attempts to seal some evidence in the case.

The filing also says Carroll's chief of staff secretly recorded conversations routinely at the direction of those working for Gov. Rick Scott, and that the trash can at Cole's desk might have been deliberately set ablaze following an argument between her and Ramos.

Cole also said Ramos was living at Carroll's home and at one point she was ordered by Ramos to find adjoining hotel rooms for Carroll and Ramos when they traveled. Cole said that she was "scolded" by an agent with Carroll's security team when she placed Ramos next door to Carroll when the lieutenant governor and her husband traveled last summer to Puerto Rico. The agent told her to not do it again, Cole says, although he did not explain why.

Carroll, a former Navy officer who is also a mother of three, says the allegations are all lies.

"That's totally false and absurd," said Carroll, a former Republican legislator who was chosen by Scott as his running mate in 2010.

I *So* thought that said "Filming clams" but....no...that's a different thing.

Honestly I'm more interested in what she does out of bed, not in it.  I am a little fuzzy on this part:

Carroll said the allegations are an attempt by Cole and her attorney to get the criminal charges against Cole dropped. Cole is charged with a third-degree felony and could get up to five years in prison.

How exactly does having lesbian sex = 5 year prison term?

maybe it's more the affair with an aide while in office.  At least I hope it's not just because it was a gay thing
