Quick Glance: Texas Republican Resigns Following Alleged Sexual Relationship with Teen
  • Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton, a Republican known for introducing far-right legislation, including an anti-'grooming' bill to ban children from attending drag shows, resigned on Monday after a panel found he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 19-year-old intern.

  • Slaton has led the charge against 'grooming' of minors in Texas.

  • The bipartisan House committee determined this was, in fact, the case, writing that the lawmaker 'engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with a subordinate.'

  • 'This is just going to the grooming, the sexualization of our children,' he told OANN last year after introducing a bill to ban kids from attending drag shows.
