The former state lawmaker has denied texting the underage girl but acknowledged having a 'consensual, inappropriate messaging relationship' with FOX/ABC journalist Maria Athens.

Anchorage - Anchorage Mayor Ethan Berkowitz, one of Alaska's most prominent Democrats, resigned on Tuesday, days after he was accused of texting sexual messages to an underage girl and a local television anchor.

"My resignation results from unacceptable personal conduct that has compromised my ability to perform my duties with the focus and trust that is required," the mayor said in written statement announcing his resignation. The unfolding scandal surrounding Berkowitz began when Athens accused Berkowitz, 58, of sending sexual messages and images to at least one underage girl. Athens, 41, included a photo that she said showed was Berkowitz’s bare back, with part of his buttocks exposed.
