FL Rep. (D) Admits Electronic Stalking Of Asst. Federal Prosecutor
2012-02-24
Federal agents are investigating Florida House Rep. Richard L. Steinberg, D-Miami Beach, for sending a series of suggestive and harassing text messages to a married Miami female prosecutor over the course of three years, according to court records.

"I acknowledge and take full responsibility for sending inappropriate and unsolicited messages to Mrs. Marlene Fernandez-Karvetsos, whom I have known for more than 15 years. I deeply regret and wholeheartedly apologize for the disrespect that I have shown her, her husband and my constituents.

"Most importantly, words cannot express how sorry I am to my wife, for the disrespect I have shown her, and my entire family," he said through a spokesman.
"I am incredibly sorry for being caught."
What a brave man. Did the spokesman have a tear in his eye on behalf of his boss?

#6  I AM tired of the "both sides" argument. There is one party corrupt to it's soul and entire being. With no virtue and morals. That one party is DEMOCRAT.

Pure evil. That is all.

#4  You know, we should start sending smart people to Washington to represent us. I bet we'd be much happier with the results.

#3  Yes, you would think that sexually harassing a federal prosecutor would not be particularly smart.

Then again, legislators aren't generally renown for their intelligence.

#2  Isn't that kind of behaviour illegal as well as rude? If so, an apology doesn't even begin to address it. Separately, by did she wait three years to do something about it?

#1  Can't blame it on.... house showings.

Steinberg was an attorney specializing in commercial litigation and transactions at Steinberg & Associates, P.A. His wife, Micky, who moved with her family to the area at the age of 6, is a Realtor with Palm Properties of South Florida.
