A quick resignation this summer from a top Republican in the Illinois House drew plenty of attention and now a little more is known about the reasons behind the decision.
Republican Ron Sandack says he got wrapped up in “inappropriate online conversations” with a woman overseas and that he wound up being extorted and wired her money.
Sandack, married and a father of two, says he was “lured” into the online conversations that include a call on Skype.
The one time floor leader didn’t say how much money he wired to the Philippines for the women.
