“Aaron von Ehlinger, 39, was found guilty in an Ada County court of a rape charge and was acquitted of a charge of forcible penetration by use of a foreign object, according to court documents.
“The victim, then a 19-year-old intern for a different lawmaker, accused von Ehlinger — then a 38-year-old Republican state representative — of engaging in nonconsensual sexual acts with her in March 2021 after taking her to dinner.
