Republican Missouri state Representative Rick Roeber has resigned following accusations of sexual and physical abuse made by his now-adult children.
Roeber s letter of resignation, submitted Tuesday, said that he and his fiancée will relocate out-of-state to be closer to their extended families. The letter doesn t reference his children s accusations. Friday will be his last day in office.
