City administrator files complaint against Ludlow council member for allegedly licking hand
Controversy is brewing in Ludlow, Kentucky, over claims of a bizarre incident. It involves a Ludlow city council member accused of licking a man who's now the city administrator.
During Thursday night's Ludlow council meeting, the city's attorney read a sexual harassment complaint made by Scott Smith.
Smith is Ludlow's former police chief who now serves as the city administrator.
Smith claims Ludlow council member Abigail Miller licked his hand after Smith's formal interview for the city administrator's position. This allegedly took place in October 2024.
"Ms. Miller took my hand and placed it in her mouth and licked the back of my hand," the city's attorney, Todd McMurty, read. "After the interview was complete, I was thanking each member of council when I went to shake Ms. Miller's hand. She suddenly pulled my hand to her tongue, making contact with bare skin."
The complaint states this was witnessed by several members of council.
Miller did not comment on the allegations Thursday, but some of her colleagues did.
"I don't feel like it rises to the level of sexual harassment or whatever battery, that's my opinion," Ludlow council member David Ziegler said.
"Whether we discipline or we don't, I think it deserves a hearing because we do have an employee that brought a complaint," Ludlow council member Stephen Chapman Sr. said.
Council decided how to move forward. Members voted to hold a removal hearing where Smith and Miller can address the allegations.
