LANSING, MI (AP)--   A third woman has accused a Michigan state legislator of sexual harassment.

Peter Lucido commented on her appearance and clothes while scanning her body and touching her lower back area. Osborn says it happened at the Michigan Credit Union League's annual government affairs conference in May. Lucido declined comment.

Osborn's comments come after a fellow lawmaker filed a complaint against Lucido with similar allegations. Also, a female reporter has said Lucido made a sexist comment to her before a group of high school boys.

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
