SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The Latest on sexual misconduct in the California Legislature (all times local):
11:50 a.m.
A
California state senator has resigned over sexual misconduct
allegations just ahead of a possible vote by his colleagues to expel
him.
Spokesman
Robert Alaniz says Democratic Sen. Tony Mendoza stepped down Thursday.
He's the third California lawmaker to resign over sexual misconduct
claims in recent months.
In
his resignation letter, Mendoza called the Senate's process "farcical"
and unfair and is still considering running for re-election in the fall.
An
investigation found the Los Angeles-area Democrat likely engaged in
unwanted flirtatious and sexually suggestive behavior with six women.
He denies wrongdoing but has apologized if he made anyone feel uncomfortable.
Senate
President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, Mendoza's former roommate in
Sacramento, had been pushing to impose the most serious punishment in
the Senate's arsenal for the first time since 1905.
