HARRISBURG, Pa. - A Pennsylvania state representative accused of sexual harassment said Friday he is not resigning but has stepped down from the Judiciary Committee and plans to enter inpatient treatment of some kind.In a letter to House Democratic leaders, Rep.

Mike Zabel of Delaware County said he was "very mindful of and saddened by the sensitive and disturbing allegations against me."A union lobbyist said this week that Zabel sexually harassed her four years ago.

She had told the story without naming him in January during a public hearing by a bipartisan committee considering rules changes.Andi Perez said Zabel had caressed her leg while they were discussing legislation outside the Capitol and that he did not stop when she moved away from him.Perez's union said in response that Zabel should resign. "We hope he gets the help he feels he needs, but he is correct — his behavior has no place in the Legislature and he should no longer be a member" of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, according to the statement by the SEIU Pennsylvania State Council.Zabel, a Democrat first elected in 2018, did not respond to requests for comment Friday, but his letter to Democratic leaders referred to an unspecified illness, saying he wanted to focus on recovery."My illness has caused some behavior that I regret, and I agree that additional intervention is necessary for me to fully recover," Zabel wrote.

Prehistoric sabertooth skull found in Iowa likely last of species to walk Earth, researchers say

AMES, Iowa - A well-preserved sabertooth cat skull found in southwest Iowa may have been one of the last of the species to walk the planet as glaciers receded and temperatures rose, according to researchers.Radiocarbon dating indicates the male cat died at the end of the Ice Age between 13,605 and 13,460 years ago before getting buried in the East Nishnabotna River, according to Matthew Hil, an associate professor of archaeology at Iowa State and expert on animal bones. Hill analyzed the specimen along with David Easterla, professor emeritus of biology at Northwest Missouri State University. Their findings were recently published in Quaternary Science Reviews.Hill said the chance of finding any fossilized remains from a sabertooth cat is slim, and finding one in Page County is even rarer.Ventral side of sabertooth cat skull (Credit: Christopher Gannon/Iowa State University) "The skull is a really big deal," he added.
