A New York Congressman has resigned amid sexual harassment accusations.

The former democratic Rep. Eric Massa is facing a House ethics investigation into allegations of sexual harassment made by his staff. Massa was accused of groping a male staffer, but the former congressman maintains his actions were not harassment.

“I did nothing sexual…I did things that were wrong,” Massa said in an interview on The Glenn Beck Program. “Now there saying I groped a male staffer. Yeah, I did. Not only did I grope him, I tickled him until he couldn’t breathe and four guys jumped on top of me. It was my 50th birthday and it was kill the old guy.”

After the harassment accusations surfaced last week, Massa suggested that the ethics investigation had been orchestrated by House Democratic leaders because he voted against a healthcare bill in November. House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md) called Massa’s claim “absurd.”
