Puerto Rico Senator resigns after nude photos appear on iphone application

San Juan, August 29 (ANI): Puerto Rico Senator Roberto Arango has resigned after his explicit photographs surfaced on an iphone application for gays and bisexuals.

The head of Puerto Rico's Senate, Thomas Rivera Schatz, announced Arango's resignation. Schatz did not release the lawmaker's letter, but said the circumstances that led to the resignation are 'very lamentable'.

Local media published photographs from the application showing a man's nude upper body with a cell phone obscuring his face. Another photo showed a rear view of a nude man on his hands and knees. Another showed a fuzzy image of a face that seemed to match Arango's, Fox News reports.

During a recent interview in Puerto Rico, Arango said he had taken pictures of himself with a cellphone to document his recent weight loss.

"I really don't remember having taken those pictures of myself, but it doesn't mean I didn't take them. I really don't remember," Arango was quoted, as saying.

Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortu¤o had said that if the man was indeed a legislator, he should resign. That echoed the sentiments of other lawmakers, including local House Speaker Jenniffer Gonz lez. (ANI)
