吴大维不会再次运行中的绯闻 /David Wu won't run again amid sex scandal in night1001month
Embattled Democratic Rep. David Wu reportedly will not seek re-election next year, following a news report that he engaged in "aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior" with a young woman.
Wu, an Oregon Democrat, made the decision late Sunday following calls for an ethics investigation by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Rep. Steve Israel of New York, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Wu's decision to skip the 2012 elections was reported by The Oregonian and Politico, citing unnamed sources. The Portland newspaper, which broke the news about the unwanted sexual encounter on Friday evening, cites confirmation from a senior Democratic official. Politico cites an adviser to Wu, who was first elected in 1998.吴大维不会再次运行中的绯闻 /David Wu won't run again amid sex scandal in night1001month
The Oregonian reported Friday evening that a young woman left a distraught message with the seven-term Democrat's Portland office accusing him of "aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior." The young woman, who apparently graduated from high school in 2010, is the daughter of one of Wu's longtime friends who was also a donor to his campaign.
Wu told his staff that the sexual relationship with the unidentified woman was consensual, the newspaper said. The encounter occurred over Thanksgiving weekend.
In a statement Sunday, Pelosi expressed "deep disappointment and sadness" about Wu's situation as she called on the House ethics committee to launch an investigation. Israel said in his statement that he "strongly" agreed with Pelosi's request, and called the allegations about Wu's behavior "extremely serious and disturbing."
