Ohio voters are in shock after a top judge boasted of having been "sexually intimate" with "approximately 50 very attractive females".
State Supreme Court Judge Bill O'Neill, who is a Democratic candidate for state governor, made the claim on Facebook on Friday afternoon.
In a follow-up interview he defended his post and a senator who was pictured apparently groping a sleeping woman.
Ohio Democrats condemned Judge O'Neill's comments.
His post began: "Now that the dogs of war are calling for the head of Senator Al Franken I believe it is time to speak up on behalf of all heterosexual males."

Judge O'Neill noted that as a candidate for governor, his admission would "save my opponents some research time".

Cincinnati City Councilman Chris Seelbach wrote to Judge O'Neill on Twitter: "Not only have you lost any glimpse of support from me, (you've) also lost my respect."
Mary Taylor, Republican lieutenant governor of Ohio, posted on Twitter: "There's a very serious conversation going on right now in this country about sexual harassment and @BillForOhio's crass post is ill-timed and dismissive at best."
"We have to be better than this," she added.
But Judge O'Neill doubled down on his comments in a subsequent Facebook post.
"Lighten up folks," he scolded his critics.
"This is how Democrats remain in the minority."
