A lawsuit has been filed against State Rep. James O’Rourke, a Cromwell Democrat who gave a ride to a state employee last year after leaving a bar on a freezing night.
The woman was later found dead near the railroad tracks in an area not far from her home. No criminal charges were filed, but the civil suit has now been lodged by the woman’s family.
