   Washington — U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence announced Thursday that she   
   has accepted the resignation of her chief of staff following   
   allegations that he sexually harassed several former office   
   staffers.   
      
   U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence has placed her chief of staff on   
   administrative leave while she investigates allegations that he   
   sexually harassed multiple former staff members.   
      
   Lawrence, a Southfield Democrat, said she would have investigated   
   sexual harassment allegations and fired anyone “engaged in sexually   
   harassing behavior” in her office had she been notified. But,   
   Lawrence said in a statement, “none of the concerns brought to my   
   attention involved allegations of sexual harassment.”   
      
   Lawrence issued the statement after several former aides told   
   Politico that chief of staff Dwayne Duron Marshall sexually harassed   
   them. Three unnamed former female aides told Politico they   
   personally brought complaints to Lawrence about Marshall   
   inappropriately touching them or commenting on their appearances.
