Congressman David Wu Faces Allegations of Sexual Assault

As noted earlier, Democratic congressman David Wu says he’ll resign following a vote on the debt ceiling. With sex scandals becoming a bipartisan and all too common affair in Washington, it’s important to emphasize that the allegations Wu faces are not typical and extremely serious. According to the Oregonian, “18-year-old daughter of a childhood friend and contributor” accused the congressman of “aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior.”
