Idaho lawmaker accused of rape resigns after ethics ruling
Fox News
An Idaho lawmaker accused of rape by a 19-year-old legislative intern has resigned after an ethics committee found he should be formally censured.
The Boise Police Department is investigating the rape allegations, and von Ehlinger has not been charged. The Republican from Lewiston wrote in his resignation letter that he hoped stepping down would spare his colleagues from having to deal with the ethics committee’s recommendation, which he disagreed with.More Related News
