The city commissioner of small beach town in Florida resigned this week after being censured amid complaints she allegedly licked her male co-workers' faces and groped them during meetings and events.

Nancy Oakley, who served as the Madeira Beach City Commissioner from 2007 to 2013 and again from 2017 to 2019, submitted her letter of resignation on Tuesday.

In the letter, obtained by NBC News, Oakley denied the allegations, writing: "I maintain my innocence and am pursuing the paths of appeals available."

She also said she was vacating her position to "still the controversy."

"It is time for us all to move on,” Oakley wrote in the letter.

Nancy Oakley, a Florida politician, has resigned from her post as city commissioner of Madeira Beach after an ethics report found that she acted inappropriately when she licked the face and neck of a city manager in 2012.

According to the report from the Florida Commission on Ethics, Oakley had been at an outdoor meeting to honor a sister city in the Bahamas when she spotted Madeira Beach city manager Shane Crawford and his executive assistant, Cheryl McGrady. Oakley, who by her own account had been drinking, allegedly suspected the two of having an affair and approached them using expletives and demanding that McGrady be removed.

After the meeting was over, she reportedly went up to Crawford again and licked him on the side of his neck and face, and groped him around the crotch and buttocks. The report says that she also threw a punch at McGrady, who had witnessed the face-licking and told Oakley that she was behaving inappropriately.

According to another report from the ethics commission, Crawford waited five years to file a complaint because he was worried he would lose his job, but decided to do so when she sought office again in 2017.

a Florida woman myself, I vaguely remember a recent odd story much like this one. Minus the political slant.
