Sexual abuse allegations against former VECO CEO Bill Allen are getting new attention. The Alaska Department of Law says it's reviewing the case.

Attorney General Dan Sullivan says his criminal division met last week with investigators who previously pursued the case.

Sullivan says they've also obtained the Allen police file and investigative reports, which attorneys from the Department of Law are still reviewing.

Last month, for unknown reasons, the U.S. Department of Justice decided not to pursue allegations that Allen had sex with under-age girls.

“At this time it's not appropriate to comment further given that this is an ongoing criminal investigation that we are taking very seriously,” said Sullivan.

Allen is still serving time in prison for bribing lawmakers.
