New York Rep. Chris Lee Resigns Over Craigslist Dating Ad  and Sexy Photo

 
 
What started last month with an anonymous woman's Craigslist dating search  
for men who don't "look like toads" ended Wednesday with the resignation of 
 two-term Rep. Christopher Lee, R-N.Y., a married father who passed himself 
off  as a divorced lobbyist when he sent her a topless muscle photo of  
himself.

_Gawker.com_ 
(http://gawker.com/#!5755071/married-gop-congressman-sent-sexy-pictures-to-craigslist-babe)  broke the story about the lying lawmaker  
under the headline "Married GOP Congressman Sent Sexy Pictures to Craigslist  
Babe."

Within hours, he had quit his $174,000-a-year job and issued this  
statement:

"I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my  staff and my 
constituents. I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all. I have  made 
profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their  
forgiveness. The challenges we face in Western New York and across the country  are 
too serious for me to allow this distraction to continue, and so I am  
announcing that I have resigned my seat in Congress effective  immediately."

Answering a Washington-area "Women for Men" ad last month,  Lee described 
himself as 39, divorced, a lobbyist and a "fit, fun classy guy."  And to 
prove it, he e-mailed the shirtless photo to the unnamed government  worker from 
Maryland.

Once she figured out the man she thought might have  been a JC Penney model 
was actually a 46-year-old congressman, she went to  Gawker with copies of 
their bantering e-mails about bad Craigslist  dates.

Lee  wouldn't discuss the incident Wednesday afternoon when intercerpted by 
_Fox News_ 
(http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/02/09/rep-lee-declines-comment-report-claiming-sent-shirtless-photo-craigslist/)  enroute to his car, 
saying, "I have to work  this out with my wife."

He resigned later in the afternoon.

For a  while it seemed he might try to tough it out. A Lee spokesman 
earlier told  Gawker that Lee believed his e-mail account had been hacked around 
Jan. 21,  although the date on the e-mails containing the topless Blackberry 
portrait was  dated Jan. 14.

In the warp-speed world of online news, the Gawker story  was added to 
Lee's Wikipedia profile by mid-afternoon, though it should be noted  that in the 
case of the fit, fun philanderer, he was answering, not  placing, an ad.

"In February of 2011 Representative Chris Lee  was found to have been 
posting personal ads on Craigslist looking for women and  lying about his age and 
marriage after e-mails and risque photos he sent to a  woman were  
uncovered."
