The leader of Wales said Thursday he had no choice but to fire a politician facing allegations of sexual misconduct who was later found dead. First Minister Carwyn Jones said he did everything "by the book" in handling abuse claims against Welsh Assembly member Carl Sargeant. Sargeant, 49, was found dead Tuesday, days after Jones sacked him from his Welsh Cabinet post. Sargeant was one of several British politicians facing allegations of sexual harassment or abuse. "These are the darkest days any of us can remember in this institution," he said.
