Bruce accused of sexual harassment

State Rep. Douglas Bruce has been ordered to stay away from a female Capitol staffer who lodged a sexual harassment complaint against the Colorado Springs Republican.

The staffer filed the complaint because of an alleged comment and contact Bruce made, the Denver Post reported.

House Speaker Andrew Romanoff (D-Denver) handed Bruce a letter on the House floor Thursday; Bruce was visibly upset by the letter, the Post reported.

Bruce and Romanoff then met briefly in the Speaker's office, the Rocky Mountain News reported.

"If there is some rumor, you can do whatever you want with whatever rumor you've got," Bruce told the Rocky afterward.
