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.
