U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene from South Carolina has been indicted on a felony charge of showing pornography to a South Carolina college student.
Greene is the Democratic candidate running against U.S. Senator Jim DeMint. He shocked the Democratic party and other when he won the nomination in the primary. His win was protested, but was upheld.
The South Carolina Democratic Party Chair, Carol Fowler, released this statement Friday, urging Greene to step down: "In June, I asked Mr. Greene to withdraw his candidacy because of the charges against him. Following today's indictments, I repeat that request. It will be impossible for Mr. Greene to address his legal issues and run a statewide campaign. The indictment renews concerns that Mr. Greene cannot represent the values of the Democratic Party or South Carolina voters."
In June, Greene refused to step aside.
He has not responded to this latest request.
He has refused to talk about the charges in interviews.
