Wilson also apologized to his friends, colleagues, and the public, stating that he let them down. His former fiancée, Lee Keller, was granted a temporary restraining order against him, and he was arrested outside her Seattle home in July on suspicion of stalking.

Keller confirmed that all legal action has been dismissed. Wilson announced that he won't run for reelection for his current job in a Facebook post.
