In a statement on Saturday, Fairfax said his encounters with two women who have accused him of sexual assault were consensual.

He has denied both allegations and dismissed multiple calls to resign.
Fairfax was previously considered as a top replacement for Governor Ralph Northam when past racist photos in his medical school yearbook came to light earlier this month.
