AUGUSTA, Maine — A Democratic state representative from Westbrook
resigned Monday, reversing a previously stated intent to serve out
his term amid allegations of sexual misconduct that he has denied.
Rep. Dillon Bates’ resignation was effective immediately, House
Speaker Sara Gideon, D-Freeport, told legislators in a Monday email.
Her office provided an email from Bates calling allegations against
him “baseless and false,” but that he didn’t wish to create
“distractions” when the Legislature returns to Augusta next week.
Gideon asked Bates to resign earlier this month after allegations
that he had relationships with high school girls in the past decade
were published in The Bollard, a Portland monthly newspaper.
