Nothing relating to an ongoing sexual-harassment probe was immediately apparent in hundreds of e-mails between Attorney General Marc Dann and his scheduler, Jessica Utovich, that were unveiled last night.

After initially denying a Dispatch request for the communications, Dann's office released more than 2,300 e-mails, mostly from last fall. Spokesman Ted Hart said 19 were withheld: 11 related to funerals, four about medical appointments and four solely about Dann's children. Dozens of others were edited to remove private phone numbers and other information. Many of the e-mails were released separately, meaning the responses are difficult to ascertain because they are in different files.

Utovich visited a Dublin-area condo occupied by Dann numerous times, including on Sept. 10, a key date in a sexual-harassment probe stemming from the complaints of two 26-year-old women in Dann's office. One of the women taken to the condo by her boss, Anthony Gutierrez, who was Dann's housemate, lay down after drinking heavily; she said she awoke hours later to find her pants unbuttoned and Gutierrez in bed next to her wearing only underwear.

That incident was not mentioned in the e-mails, although early the next afternoon, Utovich wrote to Dann with the following message line: "Don't leave without - call me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Gutierrez and the third resident of the condo, communications director Leo Jennings III, have been suspended with pay at least until the internal investigation is finished. Dann moved out of the condo late last year.

Although most of the e-mails -- even several sent at night and on weekends -- dealt with office matters, a few seemed to venture beyond routine communiques involving a statewide elected official who is Ohio's top law-enforcement officer.

"You are so fricking mean," Utovich told Dann in September.

He replied: "And you are little mary sunshine."

Her rejoinder: "I at least care."

Another time, she called him a "dork." In October, she told him, "I hate you," adding moments later "FU."

Some of the e-mails are enigmatic, such as a Sept. 5 exchange that records only Utovich's comments:

"It's (because) she has better hair, isn't it?" Three minutes later, she says, "You can't have two. I feel ditched all over again. It's the hair."

Earlier in the day, Dann had told her, "I like your hair."

She replied, "It's too red."

Many e-mails from Utovich to Dann ask him to call her, including on her cell phone.

"Can you go to the bathroom or something and call me?" Utovich wrote to Dann on Sept. 4 with the subject line, "favor."

The e-mails do not seem to shed light on the heart of a sexual-harassment probe.
