Republican Michael D. Duvall has resigned from the California state Assembly amid the scandal
uncovered on Tuesday by
OC Weekly and KCBS/KCAL. The staunch conservative was
caught on video talking graphically about two affairs, one of which was with a lobbyist whose clients had business before a committee on which Duvall sat.
Weekly reporter R. Scott Moxley and TV reporter Dave Lopez were both chasing the story at the same time on Tuesday -- literally -- as they followed Duvall around the capitol, trying to get him to respond.
In a statement, Duvall says his resignation "is in no way an admission that I had an affair or affairs," adding that his only "offense was engaging in inappropriate story-telling."
