Arizona Rep. David Stringer resigns from Legislature after inquiry on sex-related charges
Embattled state Rep. David Stringer resigned from the Arizona Legislature on Wednesday afternoon, a stunning move that came as he refused to cooperate with an ethics investigation over his past sex-crime charges.
House Speaker Rusty Bowers announced he accepted Stringer's resignation in a press statement just before 5 p.m.
"I'm grateful that the House will not be forced to take action against one of our members, and we can begin to put this matter behind us," Bowers said.
The House Ethics Committee was investigating Stringer, a Prescott Republican, over revelations he was charged with sex crimes, including child pornography, in 1983.
