DULUTH, Minn, — The Minnesota Democrat who had a sexual encounter
with a 17-year-old boy at an Interstate rest-stop said he is
dropping his bid for re-election, just hours after he said he would
stay in the race.

Duluth Police say Gauthier admitted engaging in oral sex with the
boy on July 22 at a local highway rest stop after the first-term
lawmaker advertised on Craigslist for “no strings attached” sex.

Rep. Tom Huntley, a Democrat whose Duluth district adjoins
Gauthier’s, told the Duluth News Tribune that he considers Gauthier
a “child molester.”
