Just stop lying and quit

Stuff reports:

A judge has asked for an “informal undertaking” that a councillor convicted of indecent assault will not contact his victim or her family.
It comes as it is revealed five other staff complained about Kāpiti Coast councillor David Scott’s behaviour before he indecently assaulted his victim.

Most people would not need to be told by a judge to stop doing this.

Last month Scott denied having a Facebook page, access to a computer, messaging the victim’s son and said he did not contact her ex-husband.
However, in the affidavit opposing his victim’s application, he said he did send a Facebook message to the son and approached the ex-husband.

So he lied about the Facebook page, messaging the son and contacting the ex-husband. That’s three proven lies.

He denied the original crime and claimed he was no longer a councillor.
On Thursday, he claimed he was no longer paid a council salary. Kāpiti Coast District Council confirmed he was still receiving his annual $35,342 salary.

And that’s two more lies.

He should stop lying and resign.
