BOSTON—A Massachusetts state senator recently arrested on charges that he groped and made lewd comments to two women says he will not seek re-election.
The Arlington Democrat said in a statement Thursday that he would not seek another term this fall. He spent 17 years in the House before winning a special election in December to fill a vacant seat in the Senate.

The 50-year-old Marzilli pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges he tried to grab a woman sexually at a park in Lowell, then fled police, and to charges he made lewd remarks to another woman.

He is free on $1,500 cash bail and is due back in court July 3.

The Middlesex District Attorney's office is looking into other possible incidents involving Marzilli.
