SALEM, Ore. (AP) - An internal investigation carried out by the Oregon Department of Corrections has found that a former administrator lied to the agency chief when confronted last year about a sexual relationship with another employee.
Kim Brockamp abruptly quit her post as deputy director of the Department of Corrections last fall, citing “work-life balance” concerns, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported (https://bit.ly/2tyxYzT ). She quit shortly after John Myrick, a former prison administrator, accused her of inappropriately intervening in disciplinary decisions, engaging in a sexual relationship with another employee and using her position to influence promotion decisions.
The agency’s Director of Human Resources John Nees carried out the investigation and found no evidence of the discipline and promotion allegations, but did find that Brockamp lied about a sexual relationship with an employee.
Nees said he relied on interviews with Brockamp and other administrators, as well as agency records in drawing his conclusions.
The agency oversees 14,500 inmates at 14 institutions.
Brockamp was hired in March as a manager at the Oregon Department of Education.
