WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. David Wu of Oregon has announced that he is resigning in the wake of allegations that he had a sexual encounter with an 18-year-old woman.
Democratic leaders had called for a House Ethics investigation after the initial reports of the allegation. Wu had said that whatever occurred was consensual.
Wu said Tuesday the well-being of his children should come first, so he will resign after Congress resolves the debate over the debt ceiling.
Wu, 56, has won seven terms. In 2004, he won despite acknowledging a decades-old college incident in which he tried to force a former girlfriend to have sex. Voters said they disliked an opponent's attempt to use that against Wu as part of a political campaign.

I Admire Wu then Weiner or Bill Clinton. This is how Democrats should deal with things when they do something wrong,Not fighting resignation. Republicans dont fight resignation they just resign and move on. Unlike Weiner kept on fighting resignation and Bill Clinton fought it when he was president. Even Nixon didnt fight resignation. Only most democrats rather keep lying to the press and fight resignation. Even Dan Rather knew it was wrong what he tried to ruin George Bush try to get John Kerry elected and he foght resignation.
