<p>A Democrat state lawmaker in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/arizona" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona</a> has resigned following a report on allegations concerning sexual misconduct several years ago at a college based in Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>State Rep. Jevin Hodge submitted his letter of <a href="https://twitter.com/brahmresnik/status/1770125388787925456" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resignation</a> on Tuesday, less than two months after he was <a href="https://ktar.com/story/5560047/former-congressional-candidate-jevin-hodge-appointed-to-vacated-arizona-house-seat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appointed</a> to the role.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have accepted Representative Hodge&#8217;s resignation, which he offered in good faith and out of respect for our caucus, and we are prepared to move forward with the important business of the state,&#8221; House Minority Leader Lupe Contreras (D) said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/AZHouseDems/status/1770116674630431093" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.</p>
<p>The Arizona Republic <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/legislature/2024/03/18/jevin-hodge-sexual-violence-misconduct-findings-from-college-days/72976267007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on Monday that Hodge was accused by a woman of unwanted sexual contact during what began as a consensual encounter in 2015 while he was a student at George Washington University (GWU).</p>
<p>A GWU hearing board found Hodge to be in violation of conduct policies against sexual violence and misconduct in 2016 and barred him from the school&#8217;s property under a disciplinary suspension, records showed.</p>
<p>On social media, Hodge released a <a href="https://twitter.com/JevinHodge/status/1770132185661813078" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> of his resignation, saying he apologized &#8220;to those who may have been caused pain by my actions.&#8221; But Hodge said he &#8220;unequivocally&#8221; denied the allegations against him, though he noted that &#8220;now is not my time to lead.&#8221;</p>
<p>A prior <a href="https://twitter.com/JevinHodge/status/1769752607000858735" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> from Hodge on Monday offered a more in-depth explanation of what he says took place at GWU.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I was a 21-year-old college student, I had a consensual romantic encounter with another student. We both had consumed alcohol and we remained clothed the entire time. I knew then as I know now that consent is non-negotiable, so when she made it clear she was not interested in continuing, we stopped. She called a taxi and I walked her out,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1710952453602000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1IY4j0l4VlLLOxrUYQutIY">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;Months later, I learned that she accused me of sexual misconduct. I take responsibility for all my actions and have used this experience to grow as an adult, but I must be clear: I unequivocally deny the allegations made against me,&#8221; Hodge continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;In 2016, I requested that the police fully investigate these claims so the truth could come out. My request was denied by the University,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I believe in taking responsibility for my actions. During the University hearing on this matter, I could see that I caused her emotional pain. I am sincerely sorry for the distress that I caused her.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Arizona Republic report said the woman, who was not named, filed a complaint with the school but claimed she did not press charges because she was a lawful permanent resident at the time and feared that a complaint would be detrimental to her legal status in the United States.</p>
