Republican state Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger of Idaho resigned Thursday after an ethics committee ruled to censure him over allegations of rape, Fox News reported.
A 19-year old House intern accused von Ehlinger in March of raping her in his apartment after the two went to dinner at a restaurant in Boise, Fox News reported. The representative resigned saying he cannot effectively represent his constituents and denied all the allegations after the Idaho House Ethics Committee unanimously agreed to formally censure and suspend him.
