 An attorney for Minnesota State Senator Dan Shown says Shown plans to resign in the wake of accusations of sexual misconduct. Paul Rogoshevsky tells the Star Tribune that Shown plans to resign at a news conference on Wednesday. Rogoshevsky says that Shown, a Democrat from St. Paul Park, doesn't feel he can be effective anymore. The 42-year-old Shown was accused by a Democratic candidate for office of grabbing her buttocks in 2015. Another candidate who is now a fellow Democrat lawmaker said he sent her a string of suggestive texts and a Senate employee said he texted her a picture of male genitalia. Shown denied the lawmaker's allegations saying they were false or taken out of context.
