The Office of Compliance on Tuesday disclosed three additional sexual harassment settlements totaling $115,000 on the House side, as advocates and lawmakers call for changes to how Congress handles accusations of sexual misconduct.

The settlements are from fiscal 2008 through 2012. The information does not include to whom the settlements were paid or from which offices the complaints originated.

“As part of my Committee's review, I asked the Office of Compliance for a breakdown of the $17 million total amount that has been reported by their office for all cases involving claims of violations of the Congressional Accountability Act.”

Harper said the committee’s investigations into logging settlements would continue, as it has yet to obtain all of the requested information.

The total dollar amount paid out for House member-led offices between those fiscal years is $342,225.85.

The data release comes as sexual harassment and misconduct policies on Capitol Hill have come under scrutiny after women came forward with various accusations against lawmakers of both parties in recent weeks.
