Her lawyer told The Associated Press that she attached a note to her life insurance policy noting that Miccarelli should be investigated if something happened to her.

The second woman accused Miccarelli of mental and physical abuse, and said he forced her to have sex with him after their relationship ended, and held her neck during the encounter. She also alleged that he drugged her at least once during their relationship, and had nonconsensual sex with her.

The women also said they believe Miccarelli carries a firearm into the State Capitol and asked that he be barred from doing so.
