A new report states that former Rep. Eric Swalwell and Katie Miller had a fling while she was a 22-year-old intern.

Initiation is completely irrelevant, the boss has power over the worker either way and that power imbalance shuts down any possibility of ethical sex. If you are a leader with any kinda character you do not have any sexual activities with your subordinates ever.
