. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/pm8by4l . .Madison Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and other Republican leaders backed off Thursday from trying to remove from office Rep. Bill Kramer, who is accused of sexual assault.
.Vos, of Rochester, said earlier this week that aides were researching expelling the Waukesha Republican from the Legislature if he did not resign. But after Vos consulted with other Assembly leaders Thursday, they decided not to pursue removing him from office because they did not want to interfere with the criminal case against him, Vos spokeswoman Kit Beyer said.
.They called on Kramer to immediately resign and noted his constituents could attempt to recall him from office. Recalling officials takes months, and Kramer has already announced he will not seek re-election in November.
. snip .The criminal complaint alleges Kramer gave a police officer conflicting answers about the 2011 incident and quotes him as saying the woman has "very nice doctor-enhanced breasts. I am not a big fan of those. I like real ones."
.The criminal charges advanced after more recent incidents surfaced involving two other women, one a legislative aide and the other a lobbyist. Witnesses have said Kramer groped the staffer and harassed the lobbyist while at a February fundraiser in Washington, D.C. A state personnel investigation of the incident involving the aide is underway.
.After the February incidents came to light, Republicans voted unanimously to remove Kramer as majority leader, a post he had held since September.
