There was no black out, the story was reported. I believe I heard about it on a local news show. It may not have been a huge story but that is probably because he is the former mayor of a small town in OH. It's a ridiculous strech to call him a "Democratic leader." The initial story is also from last year, The Washinton Post covered it when he was charged.
He is also a self- described man of faith dedicated to Christ.
Certainly does not mean his actions are typical of people of faith any more than it means it's typical of Democrats or former mayors of small towns, anywhere.
There's obviously more to this story than is being reported anywhere. The 4 year old is likely a relative, maybe a close relative, as in grandchild, given the sicko claims the abuse began when the child walked in on him while he was in the bathroom.
Too bad animals like this are prevented from serving their time with the general prison population.
He's a mayor? Bwahahha. yeah no one cares except for locally. Thats not a Democratic leader
He was a short term mayor of a small town years before this particular crime.
This has all to do with one seriously whacked guy and nothing to do with his politics, former job or religious beliefs. They come in all sizes, shapes and ideologies and walk amongst us.
The Seattle mayor did something similar and he's still in office.
A new lawsuit was filed a few weeks ago alleging the mayor sexually abused a troubled teen in the 80's. The way the story goes is that the now mayor paid an underage guy for sex, 30+/- years ago. That this surfaces during a reelection campaign is curious.
This is not the first time that someone has alleged the mayor previously paid for sex with under aged males. Nothing came from the other claims.
Based on this very recent lawsuit and nothing else, it appears you have jumped to the conclusion he is guilty and should be removed from office. I sincerely hope you never serve on a jury given you do not need facts to convict.
Now you can all argue it's only a Dem problem like when a Rep is caught, but we all know it's a human problem.
Only thing I see that's different is the press covers for the Dems when it happens and they splash it all over the front page when a Rep does it.
Still disgusting it happened.
Donald Trump was accused of raping a 13 year old girl, and while Trump was running for president it was a active case in the US court system. But no local or national media group covered the story (but if this case involved the Clinton's there's a good chance that news story would have made it on TV.)
Republicans practice supply side/trickle down economics which are tax cuts for large corporations and the very wealthy. And since mainstream media groups are large corporations and their CEO's are very wealthy, all the mainstream media groups have a financial incentive to protect republicans.
The extreme bias of the media is despicable....I distrust everything they do.
Yes the rape of a 4 year old from 2013 should be national news, let the family make the rounds on Fox News. Extreme Bias, Despicable it's important to keep this in the forefront regardless of the fact that she is now 7.
