OLYMPIA, Washington: A Republican state legislator resigned Wednesday amid revelations that he had sex with a man he met at a pornographic video store while in Spokane on a party retreat.
The move comes days after state Rep. Richard Curtis insisted to his local newspaper that he was not gay and that sex was not involved in what he said was an extortion attempt by a man last week.
But in police reports, Curtis alleges he was being extorted by a man he had sex with in a Spokane hotel room. The other man contends Curtis reneged on a promise to pay $1,000 (€692) for sex.
A Republican successor will be chosen by county Republican leaders, and will serve until the 2008 election.
Curtis, 48, told police he was the victim of an extortion attempt by Cody Castagna at the posh Davenport Tower hotel on Oct. 26, search warrant documents said. Castagna, 26, told police that Curtis had agreed to pay him for sex, then reneged.
Curtis is married and has children, according to his legislative Web site. Elected to the state House of Representatives in 2004, he voted in 2005 and 2006 against a bill that granted civil rights protections to gays and lesbians, and in 2007 voted against a bill that created domestic partnerships for same-sex couples. Both measures eventually passed the Democratic-controlled state Legislature and are now state law.
Curtis was among state Republican lawmakers in Spokane Oct. 24-26 for a retreat to discuss the upcoming legislative session. He went to the Hollywood Erotic Boutique early on Oct. 26 and met Castagna, who accompanied him to the hotel, police documents said.
The two arrived at the hotel around 3:30 a.m. and had sex, after which Curtis fell asleep, according to documents released Tuesday.

What is up with Spokane Republicans? First Mayor Jim West, now this fruit!
yuck , I pity his family.
Homo RINO in video no-no?........
Feel like I need to disinfect my keyboard now.
Hey, the former GOP Mayor of Spokane, Larry Fag, and now this guy. Lovely.
What if it was an extortion attempt? Can’t you imagine, especially given his voting record, someone making such a claim against the guy? I’d refrain from comment until we hear from the wife.
But, I don’t think he’s wise to resign, not at all!
MSNBC was absolutely GLEEFUL about this today.....did then even talk about the child molester RAT down South somewhere.....???
” I’d refrain from comment until we hear from the wife.”
I hope you’re kidding.
Hey, be nice now! Washington State produces legendary, world-class serial killers, sodomites and Marxists, as well as innumerable combinations thereof.
What else do we have to proud of?
Oh yes, I forgot....the scenery is pretty and we produce nice apples, cherries and wines.
"sigh".

Didn’t he say in a police report that he did have sex with the guy?
Nothing, I suspect. People who would vote for her are already so far left that they'd probably feel virtuous for supporting a lesbian.
Don’t forget, Washington State gave us “Grunge”.............
Pubbie Queers should know that public knowlege of their “activities” means the end of their career and public disgrace and humiliation.
OTOH, Demo Homos get a free pass and public acclaim.
Oh yes, I can't forget that....I was a passionate record collector until Grunge came along and spoiled much of my interest in music. It didn't help that I 'was' a very good friend of one of the originators of Grunge and fell out with him because I had the temerity to suggest that Grunge was only recycling old ideas and was not representative of anything new or particularly unique....such informed honesty was not appreciated and the stoat was kicked to the curb.
The entire decade of the 90's remains virtually unrepresented in my Rock collection section.
So were the local Portland TV stations. They went into the lurid details of this guy wearing women's underwear, etc. Sick stuff, but you know if were a dem, they'd be soft-pedaling it, if reporting on it at all.
Scandal Hits Directly at GOP Credibility in Presidential Election
Disgusting pervert.
The Headline:
“Washington state Republican lawmaker resigns amid gay sex scandal”
I would have never known this guy was a Republican
Angst is not a musical term................
I think I’m in the wrong party
“I’d refrain from comment until we hear from the wife.”
A local news station reported that his family has left him. The story also fails to report that he went to the ‘boutique’ dressed as a woman and was a regular there, known as ‘the cross dresser.’ He received oral sex at the boutique from another man before he arranged the rendezvous at the Davenport Hotel with the alleged extortionist. I won’t be surprised if he takes his own life.
So did Ronald Reagan.....when he was a Democrat............
Jimi Hendrix makes up for it though!
Did you ever read that letter to his father, he wrote at the beginnings of his rise to superstar status?...............
Are they using Euros in Spokane? Is this some kind of a UN mvoe?
This has gotten ridiculous (and disgusting)! I could almost be persuaded to support a mandatory lie detector test for all politicians who want to run as Republicans.
I’ll vote for that, and drug testing also!
I’d sign on for that.
Maybe he can change parties and get reelected. Notice, queer rats don’t ever resign because they can not be embarrassed. You have to be made of something besides crap to be embarrassed.
I haven't heard. Tell me.
Ain't he cute?
Question:
How come MOST of these "normal" fudge packers resign when they're exposed?
It has got to be difficult for these gay politicians to stay in the closet. Most gays that I have met remind you every other sentence about how gay they are. eewww
Q: How do you make a hormone?
He's not from Spokane. He is from La Center; about 20 miles from Vancouver, WA, just off exit 16 on I-5.
The Republican Party in this state is an embarrassment.
Don’t pay her.
Another CraigRino
“Didn’t he say in a police report that he did have sex with the guy?”
My wife’s family lives in his district and from what we are hearing, what is coming out in the MSM is not really accurate. He was robbed by the kid after he tried to help him with gas money. All the rest is just media hype. No one really knows what went on in that room. Curtis is a devoted family man and his daughters are well known in the area as honor students. Let’s wait until the truth comes out before we judge him.
If he's innocent, why did he resign?
“All the rest is just media hype.”
If you’ve got a strong stomach, you might want to read the police report, at this link. There’s a lot more than media hype to this story...

I stand corrected. I didn’t realize he had actually file a police report. This is very confusing since like I said we are hearing for people who live in the area that he is very trustworthy. Now I don’t know what to think (head spinning).
Apparently that's what gay prostitutes expect to be paid in, which I guess is appropriate.
Fair enough. I was just going with the story. I am glad that you have more information on the truth.
At least French!
There’s always more to anything than the news will tell us. I feel sorry for the man, but if what you all say is fact, then he brought it on himself [whatever the future holds for him.]
Now is the time for him to face accountability.
As long as outted homos flee the GOP, we’re fine. Don’t need have them...don’t need to accept the perversion. Those freaks are only 1% of the country, so it’s not a constituency I give a poop about.
Maybe he plans the Larry Craig defense..."I didn't mean to resign, I was just confused and scared."
