A French junior minister accused of having sexually harassed staff of a town hall where he is mayor has resigned from the government.
Civil service minister Georges Tron, who denies the allegations, told Le Parisien on Saturday he did not want to be a burden to the government.
His resignation comes in the wake of the US arrest of ex-IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn earlier this month.
He is charged with sexually assaulting a chamber maid in a New York hotel. More...
