Illinois state Rep. Nick Sauer has resigned from his post after an ex-girlfriend claimed that he used her nude photographs on an Instagram account in an effort to “catfish” men. The resignation came just hours after a Politico report detailed the allegations from Kate Kelly, who used to date the lawmaker. “It is important that the citizens of the 51st District be fully represented,” he continued. “My ability to fulfill my obligations as a State Representative and public servant will be affected by the distraction of addressing these allegations. After speaking with my family, I feel it best to step away from my public responsibilities.”
