Who forced Jessica Utovich out?
Read the e-mails from Jessica Utovich
Utovich changed mind, struggled to keep her job
The woman romantically linked to Attorney General Marc Dann desperately tried to rescind her resignation the day before Dann admitted his affair with her.
But even though Dann personally agreed she could withdraw her resignation, Jessica Utovich says she learned she didn’t have a job when she watched televised press conferences by Dann and Thomas R. Winters, his top assistant, on May 2, according to internal communications obtained by The Dispatch.
Utovich, 28, was Dann’s scheduler until she was transferred to another job last year, apparently when the affair with Dann ended.
Last week, Utovich fired off letters and e-mails to the Dann administration, accusing them of retaliating against her.
“I am appalled by the treatment shown to me, as over the past five months I have been nothing but loyal and a hard worker. I’m not proud of my actions in my personal life, but do not deserve to be retaliated for them by the office.”
Her job officially ended May 8, although Utovich did not work last week.
On one of her exit documents, she marked out the “voluntary termination” notation, writing in: “Termination was not voluntary. I had rescinded my resignation 5/1/08 which AG Dann agreed to.”
Dann resigned on Wednesday as investigations mounted about alleged sexual harassment, cronyism and mismanagement.
