Florida Lawmaker Quits After Stalking Prosecutor

Under Secret Service investigation “for sending stalker-like texts to a federal prosecutor,” Florida state Rep. Richard Steinberg (D) abruptly resigned his seat, the Miami Herald reports.

Throughout the summer, Steinberg used a disguised account to send text messages to Assistant U.S. Attorney Marlene Fernandez-Karavetsos sending “suggestive messages, calling her ‘sexxxy mama’ and asking about her infant son.”
