Congresswoman Katie Hill has announced her resignation
after photos of her posing naked and making out with her female aide surfaced
online. She's now blaming the leaked photos on her estranged husband and dirty
politics.
Katie Hill issued a letter on Sunday, saying she was
stepping down from her elected post in the House of Representatives after
winning the seat in last year's election. She represented California's 25th
congressional district, covering parts of Northern Los Angeles.
In the statement, she alleges that her estranged husband,
Kenny Heslep, whom she is in the middle of divorcing, is responsible for the
leaked photos.
The statement reads: "This is what needs to happen so
that the good people who supported me will no longer be subjected to the pain
inflicted by my abusive husband and the brutality of hateful political
operatives who seem happily provide a platform to a monster who is driving a
smear campaign built around cyber exploitation."
She adds, "Having private photos of personal moments
weaponized against me has been an appalling invasion of my privacy. It's also
illegal, and we are currently pursuing all of our available legal options.
She goes on to say that she's stepping down to avoid
further pain and embarrassment being thrust onto her and others.
