212: Michael Centanni

Child Sexual Abuse Material
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Michael Centanni was a conservative fundraiser and C.O.O of Base Connect, one of the many scam-PACs that would raise money for conservatives but retain most of the money for themselves. Even though they get cents on the dollar, no one objects because their mailers generally push the conservative message and voter persuasion. So, you already know he is sleazy. He is also a convicted child pornographer.

I am afraid you will have to read the details elsewhere because it turns my stomach. Suffice it to say, they found over 3000 child sexual exploitation images and videos and many were in his bedroom with a child of about 5. There is other descriptions of toddlers being sexually abused.

211: Ron Williams II

Child Sexual Abuse Material

Ron Williams II was one of the people assigned to Trump’s failed Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. He was formerly an intern for Republican Commission member J. Christian Adams. The commission was a complete failure and Ron Williams getting arrested for possession of child exploitation materials didn’t inspire confidence.

Police got a tip from the National Center for Missing Children and checked his phone and found multiple files of child exploitation materials.

210: Joe Arpaio

Enabling, Organizational Cover-Up, Rape Culture

Joa Arpaio is most well-known for glorying in abusive prison conditions and his racist hatred of Latinos. He was Trump’s favorite sheriff and was convicted of contempt of court for refusing a judge’s order to stop racial profiling. Trump promptly pardoned him. However, contemptible as his treatment of prisoners and immigrants was, he is on the list for his office’s mishandling of more than 400 sexual assault cases.

Schaeffer Cox was an unsuccessful Republican primary challenger for Alaska state House of Representatives. He got a respectable 37% of the vote in the primary. He was also involved in Ron Paul’s campaign for the presidency. He was very active in gun rights and was one of the founders of the Fairbanks Second Amendment Task Force. He is now in prison for conspiracy in a wild plan to kill several people.

He first got in trouble with the law for domestic violence. Originally he was charged with second-degree assault after his wife claimed he hit and choked her. He pled guilty to reckless endangerment in a deal for two years probation and a one-month suspended sentence.

208: David Wilson

Retaliation
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

David Wilson is a Republican senator from Wasilla, Alaska. If he had trusted the process when he was accused of sexual harassment, he would not be on this list. But he retaliated against the woman he was accused of harassing, making her fear for her job. Not cool. The woman never filed a complaint. The witnesses to the incident were the ones who brought it forward.

207: Don Boys

Enabling, Rape Culture
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

He is also a rape apologist. He denies that Kavanaugh could have raped Christine Blasey Ford because she did not scream. She needed witnesses! He argues that if a woman does not fight and does not scream, it is not rape. It is a false accusation, not rape. When he was criticized for his ignorant and false arguments, he doubled down. Oddly enough, he is eager to call Black men, Muslim men, and South African men rapists.

Chuck Hunter was 61 and though he lost his race for Circuit Court 10 in 2010 but in 2012 he was running for Circuit Court 11. He placed an ad on Craigslist seeking someone under 30 for sex. An undercover police officer responded in the role of a 14-year-old boy. After several back-and-forth messages, Hunter arranged to meet this 14-year-old at a restaurant with the intention of having sex. He was arrested when he showed up. They got a search warrant and found him in possession of child sexual exploitation materials.

In May 2017, he was arrested for sexually abusing a minor, a 17-year-old whom he had molested more than once but came forward after the most recent incident. He was 74. He pleaded guilty and got a 10-year suspended sentence and five years probation.

204: Jeremy Durham

Sexual Harassment
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Jeremy Durham was a Tennessee state representative. Several women alleged that he sexually harassed them and behaved inappropriately. He would drink in his office and have sex in his office. He texted women demanding pictures. The Attorney General investigated and found plenty of evidence that would justify expelling him but recommended leaving it up to the voters. That changed as more information came to light. He was expelled 70+2

203: Mark Lovell

Sexual Harassment
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Mark Lovell was a Republican state representative in Tennessee for about 100 days. He won the GOP primary over the incumbent who had a DUI and a firearms arrest, and then an arrest for stealing Lovell’s yard signs. Lovell bailed him out of jail which seems a clever campaign act that only cost $100. Like many legislators, he went frequently to industry receptions where free food an alcohol are served. These are legal so long as all legislators are invited. He seemed to get drunk at these events.

On Feb. 7, 2018, Lovell attended five receptions. He got visibly drunk and in front of a room full of witnesses grabbed one woman’s breasts and buttocks; prevented another woman from walking away from him; and touched a third woman inappropriately. One of the women filed a formal complaint. The house ethics committee investigated and found he definitely did what several people saw and a few photographed.

He continued to deny it but resigned, signing a resignation letter written by Republican party leadership
