This seems trite enough, a holder of a local office emails nude photos of himself to a woman, the photos end up online, he resigns.
But -
*The photos were made available online by a political enemy
*The politician is not married (already divorced for two years)
*The woman, with whom he has corresponded online for several years, asked for the photos
*Now that the officeholder has resigned, the political enemy says he might take down the photos
*The officeholder is considering legal action against the political enemy.
So the political enemy has various bad things to say about the officeholder, including that in their various disputes the officeholder brought up personal stuff about the other guy first.
I’m interested in what anyone familiar with these characters might have to say about them and about these events. I’m tending to be slightly sympathetic to the officeholder, but if he was the Aaron Peskin* of Trenton NJ, maybe not so much.
*a local Democratic Party power broker who has his hand in everything in SF; he and his wife have enormous power in their North Beach neighborhood over zoning etc.
