ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A state superior court judge has dismissed all sexual abuse charges against the state’s former acting Attorney General Ed Sniffen.
The alleged victim, Nikki Dougherty White, went public with her story in January of 2021 after learning that Gov. Mike Dunleavy had nominated Sniffen for the attorney general position. Sniffen had served as acting attorney general since August of 2020. He abruptly withdrew his name from consideration just before the allegations were made public.with three counts of felony abuse of a minor to which he pleaded not guilty.
“I never got a chance to say this is what happened,” Dougherty White said. “And that kind of the whole, real-life aspect of what that does to a person for the rest of their lives — the after-effects — none of that got a chance to be heard. So I just feel that I was silenced before I got a chance to even speak.”
