DPS and Travis County DA say no crime occurred in allegations of date rape drug used on a Capitol Staffer

"DPS has conducted a thorough investigation following allegations of drugging of a Capitol staffer by a lobbyist. Together, we have concluded that there is not enough evidence to support these allegations and that criminal charges are not appropriate. No crime occurred in this instance.”

Full statement from the Travis County District Attorney’s Office and the Texas Department of Public Safety:

“The Texas Department of Public Safety and the Travis County District Attorney’s Office take the allegation of drugging women very seriously. We work hard to ensure that potential victims are always treated with respect and dignity, and we encourage all women to continue reporting potential crimes to us.

Shortly after that announcement was made, Bill Miller at Hillco send this statement:

“We noted the DPS statement today that neither HillCo nor the ‘person of interest’ associated with our firm had absolutely anything to do with the recent drugging allegation. In other words, DPS found we are completely clear of any and all wrongdoing. Furthermore, we are informed, both our firm and the individual are named as victims in the final report. The announcement today confirms our own internal investigation into the issue. We commend law enforcement for a forceful and swift investigation into this serious matter.”
