Texas Rep. Slaton Resigns Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations and Expulsion Recommendation.

Texas GOP legislator Bryan Slaton has resigned from the Texas House of Representatives ahead of a vote over whether to expel him after an investigation found that he engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with a 19-year-old aide. The House Committee on General Investigating found that he violated House rules by engaging in inappropriate workplace conduct, specifically sexual harassment and retaliation. The committee unanimously recommended his expulsion, and the Texas House of Representatives was set to vote Tuesday on whether to expel Slaton from the Legislature.
