They had divorced two years earlier.

A copy of the one-year protection order, dated July 23, 1990, offers scant details of the circumstances, saying only that “the evidence justifies issuance of the order.” He is the uncle of former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura's wife, Terry.

2011

Subsequently, former House Speaker Kurt Zellers said that during his time as speaker from 2011 to 2012 he had confronted Cornish about sexually harassing women at the State Capitol and called for him to resign.

In interviews with MPR News, 25 people who worked with or around Cornish the past seven years described alleged unwanted sexual advances to unwanted flirtatious contact.

Cornish resides in Vernon Center.

He is divorced, has three children, and is affiliated with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod.

2017

He resigned in disgrace from the Minnesota House on November 30, 2017, following multiple accusations of sexual harassment.

Cornish was educated at Garden City High School in Garden City Township, Minnesota and has received secondary education.

On November 27, 2017, Cornish submitted his letter of resignation, which became effective at 11:59 p.m. on November 30, 2017.

In a letter, Cornish apologized to his fellow house members for "bringing a cloud over the House and my friends."

He also submitted an inappropriate letter that included a "wish list" for his replacement that went on to argue against anti-cop bills and the need for legislative action that would push cops to obtain their own liability insurance.

In November 2017, state Rep. Erin Maye Quade and another woman, a lobbyist, accused Cornish of sexually harassing them.

In response, Cornish said that his interaction with Maye Quade was taken out of context and meant as a friendly, joking exchange.

He said the incidents in his office alleged by the lobbyist never happened, though he admitted that he did send her a string of text messages soliciting sex.

House Speaker Kurt Daudt suspended Cornish as chairman of the Public Safety Committee following the allegations.
