Complaints have been filed against Cindy Stankoski and Vanessa Stout by employees of the attorney general's office. 

A spokesman with the attorney general's offices says an investigation into claims of  the two women creating a hostile work environment in the office by inappropriate comments and dirty looks to fellow co-workers has begun.

Stout and Stankoski's attorney feels the allegations are part of a pattern of retaliation.

The two women accused Anthony Gutierrez, a top aide to Marc Dann, of sexual harassment in March.  The scandal led to the resignation of former attorney general Marc Dann.
