A city commissioner in Florida resigned from her post this week after being fined by the state ethics commission for allegedly licking her male co-workers' faces and groping them.

Madeira Beach City commissioner Nancy Oakley stepped down from her role on Tuesday, according to a city spokesman.

“Following a ruling by an administrative law judge and a final recommendation from the Florida Commission on Ethics, Ms. Oakley decided to resign her position as a City Commissioner so that the community can move forward," Madeira Beach city spokesman Curt Preisser said in a statement to The Hill.

In a letter announcing her resignation, Oakley insisted she is innocent and said she plans to appeal the ethics commission's ruling, the Tampa Bay Times reported Wednesday.

Oakley, in her letter, said she decided to resign to “still the controversy” surrounding her alleged actions.

"It is time for us all to move on,” she wrote, according to the Times.

Florida's Commission on Ethics unanimously agreed last month that Oakley violated that state’s ethics code and recommended a fine of $5,000. The commission also recommended that the governor publicly censure her, according to a news release.

According to NBC News, former Madeira Beach City Manager Shane Crawford filed a complaint in February 2017 with the ethics commission alleging Oakley made “unwanted sexual advances” toward him and another staff member.

The alleged incident took place at a fishing tournament in 2012, according to the complaint, which was obtained by NBC. In the complaint, Crawford accused Oakley of groping him and licking him.

Crawford wrote in the complaint that Oakley appeared to be drunk during the alleged incident. According to the report, Crawford's executive assistant, Cherylanne McGrady, confronted Oakley about the incident. Crawford alleged that Oakley then attempted to punch McGrady, but missed.

Crawford wrote in the report that he did not report the incident at the time because Oakley was one of his bosses and he feared retribution. He later filed the complaint after Oakley was reelected as city commissioner in 2017.

According to NBC, the report also alleges that Oakley licked the face of another city staff member, Dave Marsicano, during a meeting in 2012.

“He said he would not have tolerated Ms. Oakley’s behavior had she not been a City Commissioner, but he feared he would be terminated if he attempted to thwart her advances,” the ethics commission report states.

The Board of Commissions accepted Oakley’s resignation letter Wednesday night.

"This is line with our adopted mission, vision and values that proclaim no one is above the law. It is with these values that the Board of Commissioners voted to accept the resignation,” Preisser said in a statement.

Oakley’s seat will remain unfilled until a March election.
