Rep. Ruben Kihuen Won't Seek Re-election Amid Sexual Harassment Claims
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, Nevada Democratic lawmaker Ruben Kihuen said
Saturday he will not seek re-election next year, as a fourth woman
stepped forward to accuse the freshman congressmember of unwanted sexual
touching and sexual harassment. Kihuen, who denies the charges, made his
announcement a day after the House Ethics Committee said it had launched
an investigation.
