Former senior NSW Labor figure charged

A senior NSW Labor figure has been charged by the NSW Electoral Commission just months after he was embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal.

Jamie Clements is expected to face court next month after being charged with two offences, including allegations he disclosed protected information in May last year.

A month later it is alleged the then NSW Labor general secretary used information legally provided by the commission to the NSW Labor Party for a purpose not permitted by legislation.

Mr Clements resigned as general secretary in January over allegations he sexually harassed former candidate and staffer Stefanie Jones at a party function last year.

He is expected to face Downing Centre Local Court on June 7.

Each offence carries a maximum penalty of $22,000.

Comment has been sought from NSW Labor.
