New Sex Charge Leveled Against Rowland

A new charge of sexual harrassment against former state investigator Kevin E. Rowland was unveiled in Oklahoma County today.

Rowland now stands accused of groping a male employee who worked for him at the state medical examiner's office. In an indictment unsealed yesterday, he faces charges of inappropriate contact with a female office worker.

The state multicounty grand jury on Monday indicted Rowland twice. He is charged in the second indictment with one felony count of sexual battery.

Grand jurors alleged Rowland, 44, touched the private parts of a male investigator "while making a sexually explicit statement in reference to" the employee's private parts.
