“The Texas House unanimously voted to expel Bryan Slaton on Tuesday, one day after the Royse City Republican submitted his resignation after an internal investigation determined that he had sex with an 19-year-old aide after getting her drunk,” the Texas Tribune reports.
“After a solemn, sometimes angry and tearful recounting of Slaton’s ‘graphic’ and ‘offensive’ behavior, the House voted 147-0 for expulsion, making Slaton the first member of the Texas Legislature to be removed from office since 1927.”
