Republican House leaders in Salem held a series of meetings Monday to discuss the fate of Rep. Matt Wingard, R-Wilsonville, following revelations that he had been accused of sexual misconduct by a former aide.

House Republican Leader Kevin Cameron of Salem refused to comment on whether GOP leaders may seek to push Wingard to resign from the House -- and whether the leadership is looking for another candidate to take his place.

"We take these allegations seriously and we've been meeting with our leadership team throughout the day and we're going to continue to investigate until we get all our facts," said Cameron.

Cameron said that he wanted to "have all the facts in front of us" before making any determinations about Wingard's future.
