Arizona state Sen. Otoniel “Tony” Navarrete has resigned after being arrested for allegedly molesting two young boys. The Democrat, who has served in the state Senate since 2018, faces seven felony charges after a 16-year-old accused Navarrete of molesting him multiple times. A second boy, 13, also accused Navarrete of attempting to touch his genitals. The second youth, aged 13, was interviewed by police on Aug. 5 and accused Navarrete of trying to touch his genitals. “We know that the Arizona Judicial Branch will deliver justice and pray for healing and support for all victims,” the statement continued.
