Senator arrested in toilet says he's not gay

BOISE, Idaho (Reuters) - Republican Senator Larry Craig said on Tuesday he is not gay and had made a mistake in pleading guilty to disorderly conduct after he was arrested in a men's toilet at a Minnesota airport in June.

First elected to the Senate in 1990, the Idaho senator was arrested by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in the men's public restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

"I am not gay, I never have been gay," Craig told a news conference in Boise, Idaho, and apologized to the people of Idaho for what he said was a "cloud" over the state because of the incident. "I did nothing wrong," he said.

The conservative Republican, who has spoken out against gay rights and same-sex marriage, said he would announce next month, as planned, whether to seek re-election next year.

Craig, 62, is a married father of three.

Republican leaders requested a Senate ethics panel investigation and said they were "examining other aspects of the case to determine if additional action is required."

A grim-faced Craig, whose wife, Suzanne, stood silently by his side at the news conference, appeared defiant in the face of the furor over the incident.

"While I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct at the Minneapolis airport or anywhere else, I chose to plead guilty to a lesser charge in the hope of making it go away," he read from a prepared statement.

"I did not seek any counsel, either from an attorney, staff, friends, or family. That was a mistake, and I deeply regret it."

BLAMES WITCH HUNT

In his August 8 plea, Craig said, "I am pleading guilty to the charge of disorderly conduct...specifically in the restroom of the North Star Crossing in the Lindbergh Terminal. I did the following: Engaged in conduct which I knew or should have known tended to arouse alarm or resentment of others."

Craig said he had acted hastily in accepting the guilty plea because of what he called a "witch hunt" by the Idaho Statesman newspaper.
