SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The chief of Puerto Rico’s senate says a lawmaker has resigned following reports that explicit photos of him surfaced on a mobile network application for gays and bisexuals.
Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz announced Sunday that Republican Sen. Roberto Arango has presented his resignation letter. Arango represents the U.S. territory’s capital.
Schatz has not released the lawmaker’s letter, but says the circumstances that led to the resignation “are very lamentable.”
One picture depicts a nude torso and is reminiscent of images that led to the resignation of U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York earlier this year. The other pictures show a nude man on his hands and knees.
Arango has neither confirmed nor denied the photos are of him.
