Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton Resigns Before Expulsion Vote Over Sexual Misconduct.
TL;DR
Texas State Rep. Bryan Slaton has resigned from his position after an investigation found that he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 19-year-old woman on his staff. The House General Investigative Committee recommended that Slaton be expelled from the body, and a planned Tuesday vote on a House resolution expelling him from office may still take place. Slaton's resignation comes after pressure mounted on him to step down, with even some of his closest supporters revoking their endorsement.
