Carl DeMaio's campaign to become the openly gay GOP representative for California's 52nd congressional district was rocked this week by allegations DeMaio sexually harassed a former campaign staffer and attempted to bribe the man as cover-up.
DeMaio, who bills himself as a "new generation Republican" has categorically denied the claims and counters his accuser, Todd Bosnich, is a disgruntled ex staffer who was fired for plagiarism and may be responsible for the break-in at DeMaio's San Diego office back in May.

CNN adds:
This is not the first time DeMaio has been accused of sexually inappropriate behavior. Last year, a fellow city councilman said he twice caught DeMaio masturbating in a city hall restroom — an allegation DeMaio denied.
