WASHINGTON (WKOW) -- The government reveals more about serious allegations against Secret Service agents and officers dating back to 2004.

The documents include claims of involvement with prostitutes, leaking sensitive public information, publishing pornography, sexual assault, illegal wiretaps, improper use of weapons and drunken behavior.

A heavily censored list was released Friday to the Associated Press and other news organizations under the Freedom of Information Act. It was 229 pages long.

News media had requested the documents following the Secret Service prostitution scandal in Colombia.

In many cases, the government noted that some of the claims were resolved administratively, and others were being formally investigated. It wasn't immediately clear which accusations were found to be true.
