Gov. Doug Ducey said Thursday his experience is that women who complain about being sexually harassed are generally telling the truth.
But the governor declined to call for Rep. Don Shooter to resign, saying the investigation of charges against the Yuma Republican should be allowed to play out.

“There’s no place for sexual harassment at the state Capitol or in the private sector,” Ducey said when asked about the multiple allegations that have been made against Shooter. And he called the complaints “serious.”
Ducey said he dealt with these kind of allegations before he was governor, when he was chief executive of Cold Stone Creamery.
