TL;DR Summary

The Texas House voted unanimously to expel Rep. Bryan Slaton after an investigation found he engaged in inappropriate workplace conduct by having sexual intercourse with a 19-year-old legislative aide who works in his office. Slaton also provided alcohol to an underaged person and tried to intimidate the aide against discussing their encounter with others. Slaton resigned on Monday, but the vote to expel him solidifies his ouster. He is the first House representative expelled in a member vote since 1927.
