INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ Rep. Dan Burton admitted Friday that he had an extramarital relationship in the early 1980s and fathered a child, The Indianapolis Star reported.
The conservative Indiana Republican, in the wake of reports that he had had such an affair, told the newspaper he wanted to go public, take the full criticism and deflect attention from the woman, their teen-age son and her family members.
``I have apologized to my wife and family, whom I love. I apologize to my constituents. We live in a society that rightfully depends upon people taking responsibility for their actions. I have done so in this matter,'' Burton said in a statement released Friday.
