An Ohio Supreme Court justice has taken to Facebook to share details about his past sexual relationships and his thoughts on Senator Al Franken being accused of forcibly touching and grabbing a woman in 2006.
Justice William (Bill) O'Neill, who has expressed interest in running for Ohio governor, posted on Facebook Friday afternoon stating: "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."
WHIO's Jim Otte reached O'Neill by phone, to ask if his Facebook account had been hacked.
"I did post it and I stand by it," O'Neill told Otte by phone.
Franken, D-Minnesota, on Thursday called for an ethics investigation of himself after a Los Angeles news anchor came forward with allegations that he kissed her forcibly and groped her as she slept during a USO tour in 2006.
O’Neill continues on the Facebook post to describe the “approximately 50 very attractive females” he’s had sex with in the last 50 years.
“Now can we get back to discussing legalizing marijuana and opening the state hospital network to combat the opioid crisis. I am sooooo (sic) disappointed by this national feeding frenzy about sexual indiscretions decades ago,” O’Neill said in his post. Signing off with a “Peace.”

Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, a Democrat who is also running for governor, called for O’Neill to resign from the court.
“Sexual harassment, degrading and devaluing women is not a joke. Justice O’Neill should resign,” Whaley tweeted at 1:02 p.m.
O'Neill's spokesperson has since stepped down from his position as the public voice of the judge for his campaign, according to WCPO.
