California Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra resigned Monday following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, making him the first lawmaker to leave office amid a spate of reports rocking the state Capitol.
The Los Angeles Democrat had previously said he wouldnt seek re-election and would leave office at the end of the next legislative session. But on Monday, Bocanegra said that hes decided to leave immediately following reflection over the Thanksgiving weekend and conversations with family, friends and supporters.
In a statement released by his office, Bocanegra said hed hoped he could clear his name. [ ]
Allegations against Bocanegra first came to light last month, when legislative staff member Elise Gyore said she had reported him to Assembly investigators in 2009, when both were staff members, after he stalked her around a nightclub and put his hands down her blouse at an after-work event. He was told to stay away from her but documents do not indicate that he was otherwise disciplined by the Assembly Rules Committee.
The Los Angeles Times reported last week that Bocanegra is accused of groping or kissing numerous women without their consent over a period of years, even after he was reprimanded for his behavior toward Gyore in 2009.
