"As we have informed Rep. Reynolds, we take all charges of sexual assault and misconduct very seriously," NOW Action Vice President Rosemary Dempsey said. "NOW advocates for both parties to have a fair hearing and their `day in court,' and in this case a jury of his peers found Rep. Reynolds guilty.
"He has undermined the trust of the voters who elected him to office, and his conviction is incompatible with continued service as a public official. Consequently, Rep. Reynolds should immediately resign."
