ATLANTA - Channel 2 Action News and our investigative partners at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and AJC.com have learned the Georgia State Ethics Commission will consider the fate of Executive Director Stefan Ritter at a special meeting Tuesday morning.

Sources tell Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Richard Belcher that at least one, and maybe two, detailed complaint letters were filed by co-workers regarding pornography on Ritter’s work computer, and other complaints.

In addition to the pornography, there were complaints about his job performance, including irregular work hours.

Jake Evans, the chairman of the Georgia Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission, sent Channel 2 Action News the following statement:

“The Commission took immediate action relating to accusations made against Mr. Ritter, and those actions are ongoing. The Commission seeks to ensure that all personnel issues are promptly and fairly investigated and resolved. The Commission acted and continues to act with this promptness and fairness in investigating allegations against Mr. Ritter, like it does in all instances.”

By Greg Bluestein James Salzer, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The state ethics commission will meet in emergency session Tuesday to decide whether to remove the director of the transparency agency amid questions about whether he misused state computers, according to four people with knowledge of the situation.

Stefan Ritter, who has been the commission's executive director since 2015, could not be reached for comment. Staffers filed complaints against Ritter to the commission in December, officials told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News.

I used to see a man at the library who had been a teacher for 30 years. Went to church every week .

He got banned from the library. They caught him watching on the library computers 3 times.You just never know about people.
