El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa was considered a polished politicians and potential challenger to Gov. John Hickenlooper.
Now the FBI is helping the Colorado Bureau of Investigations conduct a problem into Maketa, who is accused of having sex with three women and then promoting them to top-paying jobs, the Denver Post reports.
“The FBI is assisting with the investigation at the request of the CBI,” CBI spokeswoman Susan Medina said.
Maketa declined to comment but his spokesman said the sheriff “supports these independent investigations. He really does.”
