Federal agents are investigating Florida House Rep. Richard L. Steinberg, D-Miami Beach, for sending a series of suggestive and harassing text messages to a married Miami female prosecutor over the course of three years, according to court records.
"I acknowledge and take full responsibility for sending inappropriate and unsolicited messages to Mrs. Marlene Fernandez-Karvetsos, whom I have known for more than 15 years. I deeply regret and wholeheartedly apologize for the disrespect that I have shown her, her husband and my constituents.
"Most importantly, words cannot express how sorry I am to my wife, for the disrespect I have shown her, and my entire family," he said through a spokesman.
"I am incredibly sorry for being caught."
What a brave man. Did the spokesman have a tear in his eye on behalf of his boss? |
