Senator Lisa Murkowski is asking the Attorney General why the Justice Department is not prosecuting former Veco CEO, Bill Allen.
Allen is accused of repeatedly transporting an underage girl from Seattle to Anchorage for the purpose of prostitution.
In March, Attorney General Eric Holder said if there was enough evidence to justify a case against Allen, then a case would be brought.
Other reports from DOJ officials said Allen would not be prosecuted because he had been convicted and sentenced in another case.
Murkowski says there is enough evidence to pursue a case and she is not satisfied with responses from the Justice Department.

....and regardless of your anti-Murkowski opinions you would still prefer her to drop it and let a sex offender of the lowest bread walk free from charges? Shame on you for putting YOUR politcal beliefs before the pain and suffering of those young girls you so lightly pretend to advocate. You must be a petty Californian like most of the folks at this station. Real Alaskans want this man taken down, period.

She is not satisfied with her election chances.. this is pure electoral theatre she knows is not going to go anywhere... Allen is free and all those promises made to the young girls if they helped prosecutors .. were broken... Murkowski is part of the problem not the solution.. her vanity and posturing are emblematic of conservatives and liberals. May God bless and keep you ... far far from me
