A high-ranking executive voluntarily resigned his position at Los Angeles International Airport for sending sexually explicit text messages on a city-issued cell phone, officials confirmed Thursday.
Michael Molina stepped down last week as the airport's deputy executive director of external affairs after he was directly asked about sending the graphic messages, said Gina Marie Lindsey, executive director of LAX.
The nature of the explicit messages was not immediately disclosed. It was also unclear who received the messages and how many were sent by Molina, who was not immediately available for comment.
Molina voluntarily resigned June 7 after he was asked about the messages, Lindsey said. He will not receive a severance after his three-year tenure at LAX, but will be paid for an undisclosed number of unused vacation days.
The matter will not be investigated, Lindsey said. "The fact is we stopped looking into it," Lindsey said. "If there's a resignation, it's the end of the story."
Prior to that, Molina worked for seven years as chief of staff to Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn, who declined to comment.
