BREAKING Delaware County lawmaker Rep. Mike Zabel resigns amid sex harassment allegations
"The toll is just too great on my family, and was too detrimental to my well-being. I need to focus on what matters," Zabel said in a brief phone interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, shortly before sending the resignation letter. McClinton's spokesperson said her office would soon issue a statement.
During the phone interview, he declined to elaborate on his treatment plans or to speak on the record about the allegations against him. "He was clearly intoxicated, his lips and teeth were stained red from wine," Major said. He complimented her appearance and put an arm around her, touching her back, Major said.
"I felt disgusted and sick about their stories, especially in conjunction with mine," Major said. "It's showing a clear pattern." There is currently one vacancy in the closely divided state House, where Democrats flipped control of the chamber in November after 12 years in the minority. A special election for the vacancy, a heavily Republican district in central Pennsylvania, was scheduled by McClinton on Tuesday for the May 16 primary.
