Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, says he will not be seeking reelection in 2018. The move comes after a woman shared a series of private Facebook messages, in which Barton had asked her questions that were sexual in nature just a week after he apologized for sending a nude photo himself to another woman.
The woman, Kelly Canon told the Star-Telegram she had exchanged messages with Barton for several years, said that he "took it a step too far on rare occasions."
According to the Washington Post, the woman who received the nude photo from Barton had consensual sexual intercourse on two occasions and also recorded a phone conversation in which he threatened to call the Capitol Police if she revealed their correspondence.
Over time, she said, she became aware of and corresponded with multiple other women who engaged in relationships with Barton.
Are we running out of materials in the Media?
