State Rep. Steve Lebsock issued a fresh apology Saturday to the three women who have accused him of sexual harassment in The Denver Post and said he will decide by the end of the month on his status as a lawmaker and a Democratic state treasurer candidate.

In a responding statement, the women, including fellow Democratic state Rep. Faith Winter, said the new apology is still inadequate and urged Lebsock to resign.

Lebsock’s apology came Saturday in an email to the women that he also sent to The Post.

“I have come to realize that it does not matter that, at the time, I may have perceived my words as playful,” he wrote. “It does not matter that, at the time, I may have felt that we were flirting. It does not matter that, at the time, I may have felt what I said was OK. It does not matter that I may not remember the exact words which were hurtful. It does not matter that, at the time, I thought we were joking.”

“The only thing that matters is how I made these three women feel,” he continued. “I am sorry.”

Later in the day, the women — Winter, former lobbyist Holly Tarry and former legislative aide Cassie Tanner — released a joint statement to The Post that said, while they appreciate Lebsock’s new apology, they believe he has still not taken full responsibility for his actions.

“His apology was about how he made us feel but he never apologizes for his actions,” the women wrote. “Additionally, he concentrates on words, but in at least two cases, there was also physical contact. Touching without consent isn’t playful or flirty — it is harassment or assault.”

“We hope that Representative Lebsock takes full responsibility for his actions against us and many other women. Because this is a serious pattern of behavior and we know other women have been involved as well we feel it is best for him to resign.”

Winter, Tarry and Tanner told The Post on Friday that Lebsock had sexually harassed or made unwanted advances toward them. Winter said Lebsock tried to grab her by the elbow to get her to leave with him after describing sexual acts. Tarry said he asked her for sex. Tanner said Lebsock reached across the table to undo a button on her blouse.

Lebsock’s apology addressed the three women by name and represents his first remarks about the incidents involving Tarry and Tanner. On Friday, he apologized to Winter but said he didn’t remember the incident in question, adding that he was drinking heavily at the time.

Lebsock later issued a defiant statement Friday, saying his accusers should pursue their complaints through proper legal channels and ignoring calls for his resignation from a number of prominent Democrats.

This latest statement from Lebsock is the first suggesting he is rethinking his current position and campaign for statewide office.

In a previous statement Friday night, Lebsock had said “we should take these accusations seriously,” adding “I have done nothing that can be described as criminal.”

His treasurer campaign’s fundraising consultant Kirsten Boyd announced on Facebook on Friday night that she would be stepping down from her position.

“I do not know whether Steve is suspending his campaign or resigning,” she wrote in her post. “I only know that my involvement with it and him has come to an end. And that, as a survivor, I fully support Faith and any other accusers who may come forward. Mostly because I believe them. And you should, too.”
