Virginia House Speaker calls on Fairfax to resign

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The head of Virginia’s House of Delegates is calling for the resignation of Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax.
House of Delegates Speaker Kirk Cox said in a statement Saturday that Fairfax’s ability to govern has been “permanently impaired” by “multiple, serious credible allegations” of sexual assault made recently by two women.
Earlier this week, a college professor accused Fairfax of assaulting her at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
