The Office of Special Prosecutions is still reviewing charges against former Representative Zach Fansler and may have an update on the case next week.

Fansler resigned from his position after a woman accused him of drunkenly slapping her several times and damaging her eardrum. The Office of Special Prosecutions has been reviewing charges against him since February. Assistant District Attorney Paul Miovas says that the Office of Special Prosecutions must, “make sure they’ve taken everything into account before we issue any press releases or further information.”
