Indiana Republican resigns from House over sex video
Republican Rep. Jud McMillin of Brookville has resigned unexpectedly from the Indiana House—where he is in the second-highest elected leadership position—after sources say at least one sexually explicit video was discovered on his phone.
House Speaker Brian Bosma of Indianapolis said Tuesday he has accepted McMillin’s resignation. Bosma said in a written statement the caucus is “thankful for Rep. McMillin’s service to our state, and we fully support his decision to step down in order to focus on his family.”
But Bosma provided no details about McMillin’s decision, which comes less than a year after the caucus elected him to be the majority floor leader. McMillin was widely expected to seek the speaker’s job someday.
Sources close to the Republican caucus said someone obtained McMillin’s phone and discovered at least one video that showed the lawmaker involved in sexual contact. The sources did not detail who else was involved.......
This is not the first time McMillin has resigned from a job under questions about sex. He resigned as an assistant prosecutor in Montgomery County, Ohio, in 2005 after he had a relationship with the victim in a domestic violence case he was prosecuting. He told the Dayton Daily News that the relationship began after he stepped off the case.
