Lawmaker Brags About Affair... on Mic

A Southern California Lawmaker resigned Wednesday amid growing outrage over a videotape that caught him bragging in graphic detail about having sex with a female lobbyist and another woman. Assemblyman Mike Duvall said in a statement the furor over his comments had begun to divert attention from the work his fellow lawmakers were trying to finish during the final week of their session. He is a Republican (which helps explain he resigned so quickly).

In a recording of a legislative hearing, Duvall can be heard talking about a recent sexual escapade with a woman he says is 18 years younger. "I'm getting into spanking her," Duvall is heard to say on the videotape. The other man asks if she likes it, too. Duvall responds: "She goes, 'I know you like spanking me.' I said, 'Yeah, that's 'cause you're such a bad girl.'"

Another woman he's having an affair with is also mentioned. One of the two women is a lobbyist for Utilities, which is a industry Duvall votes on.

The conversation was first reported by KCAL-TV in Los Angeles and the newspaper OC Weekly. The Associated Press later obtained a copy of the videotaped hearing. Duvall, an Orange County lawmaker, said it would not be fair to his family, constituents or friends to remain in office. See Chick's CAUGHT.
