MLA stood down over alleged sexual misconduct

Johnathan Davis

ACT Greens member for Brindabella, Johnathan Davis, 31, has been reported to the police amidst allegations of sexual misconduct.

The party had been investigating complaints that the openly gay Davis separately engaged in relationships with a 17-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy before it reported the allegations to the police.

Greens leader Shane Rattenbury says a complaint was brought to his attention at the beginning of the week, with another following shortly after.

“I immediately asked a member of my senior staff to do an initial review to establish the appropriate next steps, and I have stood Mr Davis down from his MLA duties indefinitely,” says Rattenbury.

“My office has not seen evidence of illegal activity, but we are reporting what we know of the complaints to police.”

It is understood senior party members are pressing Mr Davis to resign.
