Sept 25 (Reuters) – New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill said on Friday that her lieutenant governor, Dale Caldwell, had resigned after an independent investigation found that he had behaved inappropriately with women and committed other ethical violations.
Sherrill had called on Thursday for Caldwell to resign.

Caldwell’s attorney, Thomas Calcagni, said in an emailed statement that “we continue to forcefully challenge the report” and that they were exploring “legal remedies” to “ensure a true, balanced, and unbiased record.”
- The investigation released on Wednesday says that Caldwell, a Methodist pastor, made sexually offensive remarks to female staff members, including telling one, after his advances on a friend of the staffer’s were rebuffed, that “you young women are looking for young sperm”
- The report says Caldwell denied making that comment, but investigators “did not find his denial credible”
- The report states that Caldwell also tried on multiple occasions to secure a promotion for a state employee with whom he had a romantic relationship
- He was also accused of bringing personal guests to ticketed events and not paying for their entry
- Sherrill named Shirley Emehelu, the state’s acting comptroller, to be the new acting lieutenant governor
- The governor said she would decide within 45 days on a permanent replacement
