SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A pro-family values California lawmaker who
resigned after being caught on tape boasting about his sexual conquests
denied Thursday that he had extramarital affairs, saying that "my
offense was engaging in inappropriate storytelling."

Mike Duvall stepped down Wednesday after a videotape surfaced in which
was overheard telling a lawmaker about having sex with a lobbyist and
another woman, including salacious details about how one mistress wears
skimpy underwear and likes to be spanked. The 54-year-old Republican is
married with two adult children.
