(Editor's note: This story was updated at 2:15 p.m. to include a statement from Rep. Nick Miccarelli's spokesman.)

The embattled Delaware County legislator who earlier was accused by two women of rape and domestic violence is now under investigation by the House Republicans for another complaint made against him.

House Majority Leader Dave Reed, R-Indiana County shared at a brief news conference with Capitol reporters that the filing of this latest complaint against Republican five-term incumbent Rep. Nick Miccarelli.

"We have received an additional complaint on Representative Miccarelli," Reed said. "We have appointed investigators to investigate that complaint and we'll go from there."

Reed didn't disclose any further details about the nature of the complaint or when it was filed.

Miccarelli spokesman Frank Keel, when contacted for comment, was unaware of this latest complaint.

"This is a surprise," Keel said.

He subsequently offered the following statement about the latest complaint that Reed referenced.

"It's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to offer comment on an allegation devoid of any details made by an anonymous accuser," Keel said. "It's truly like fighting a phantom. We have not even received a copy of the complaint at this point in time. Suffice it to say, however, that Rep. Miccarelli will take it in stride as he has throughout this ordeal because at no time has he ever harassed or caused physical harm to any woman."

Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Luzerne County, and a Harrisburg political consultant, both of whom had formerly dated Miccarelli over the past six years, filed a complaint with the House on Feb. 8 accusing Miccarelli of sexual assault and domestic violence. A House investigation found the women and their accusations to be credible.

Toohil obtained a three-year protection from abuse order against Miccarelli from a Luzerne County judge in March.

The Dauphin County District Attorney's office has an ongoing investigation looking into the women's allegations.
