Republican David Almond, vice chairman of the House Committee on Children, Youth and Families for the North Carolina state legislature, resigned last week after the state’s GOP caucus said it was investigating allegations against him of “serious, improper behavior.”
According to DownWithTyranny!, Almond exposed his penis to a female staff member, chased her around the room, and commanded her to “suck it, baby, suck it.” The employee filed a personnel complaint against Almond. State Republican leaders asked Almond to resign if there was any truth to the allegation, but, they said, “He did it [resigned] himself.” I’m not sure what that means, but that is what they said.
One of the pieces of legistlation introduced by Almond was a bill to monitor sex offenders, which was recently signed into law by the governor, and which could come back to bite Almond on the–well, wherever he is most likely to be bitten. In the meantime, he says that intends to defend himself against the charges.
