California’s Democratic Party Chairman Eric Bauman has taken leave of his position over allegations of sexual misconduct.

Bauman said in a statement on Wednesday that he plans to seek treatment for alcohol abuse and health issues, according to CBS.

Bauman, 59, who is the CDP’s first openly gay chairman, took his leave of absence on Monday after party Vice Chairman Daraka Larimore-Hall accused Bauman of sexual harassment and assault against unnamed alleged victims last week.
