A member of the Northwest Territories Legislature who faces sexual assault charges has turned to his resignation.

Michael Angottitauruq, 38, who represents Natilikmiot, have no reason for his resignation in a settlement to the assembly.

Last year, Angottitauruq said he would resign for personal reasons. He later changed his mind but admitted to the Legislature that he had an alcohol problem.
