Hawaii GOP legislator quits over sex conviction

State Rep. Galen Fox abruptly announced yesterday he will resign after being convicted of a federal misdemeanor for fondling a woman on a flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles last December.

Fox, a Republican who represents Waikiki, Ala Moana and Kaka'ako in the state House of Representatives, was convicted last month in federal court in Los Angeles. A misdemeanor carries a penalty of up to a year in jail, but Fox's attorney, Harland Braun, said Fox likely faces a fine and probation when he is sentenced early next year.

At a news conference at the state Capitol, Fox said he would resign effective Dec. 1. The 62-year-old representative read from a prepared statement but did not explain the nature of his conviction or take questions from reporters.

"I vigorously fought the charges against me, which I hold to be untrue. I lost," Fox said. "From now on in my personal life, I will have to bear the consequences of that loss.

2. another republican sex offender......

ever notice how every time there's a politician getting caught for some sort of sexual assault it's ALWAYS a repuke!

yet, they went after clinton for an affair between 2 consenting adults.

these same freepers, dittoheads, ldotters, fundies and other human garbage that still to this day make a big deal of clinton's consensual affair seem to always turn a blind eye to the ever growing herd of republican sex offenders.

you call them hypocrites. i think that's too nice a word for them. human garbage describes them a bit better.

republicans are filth. period.
