College employee says she was assaulted, harassed by president on work trip

A Georgetown College employee said she was sexually harassed and assaulted by former college President William A. Jones at a hotel in October, according to an emergency protective order filed earlier this week. Jones was fired as president of Georgetown College on Monday after the school learned of allegations of sexual assault and inappropriate behavior with female employees, as well as “other conduct in violation of Jones’s employment agreement with the College,” according to a release from the school.

The college learned of the allegations on Sunday, and Jones was fired by the Board of Trustees on Monday, the school said.

William Jones sexually harassed me in the lobby of (the) hotel before later sexually assaulting me in his hotel room,” the employee wrote. “Multiple times throughout the incident’s timeframe I told him to stop.”
