Wyoming Secretary of State Ed Murray (R) “announced his resignation late Friday afternoon, effective immediately,” the Casper Tribune reports.
Murray said he has been “devastated” by two recent accusations of sexual misconduct and that he is now “unable to focus entirely on serving the good people of Wyoming.”
Late last year, a woman accused Murray of “wrestling her to the office floor and ejaculating on her stomach” when she was an intern in his office.
