Report on offensive emails: Justice not undermined, no names

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - The Pennsylvania attorney general says a review spurred by the revelation that employees had swapped sexually explicit and offensive material for years through office email found no evidence that the administration of justice had been undermined.

Attorney General Bruce Beemer said Tuesday that a new report flags 38 people as high-volume senders of inappropriate emails, and says 13 senders were judges or senior government officials. But Beemer didn't name them or describe the emails' contents.The report by a private law firm was commissioned by Beemer's convicted predecessor Kathleen Kane.Kane discovered inappropriate emails when she took office in 2013.The scandal led to the resignation of two state Supreme Court justices and discipline against 60 government employees.
