Shawn Patrick Myers was elected to the Grove City City Council representing the Third Ward in 2012. He won reelection to his fourth term in 2023 but was arrested before he was sworn in. He has been replaced by an appointee.
He was arraigned for involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, corruption of minors, disseminating explicit sexual material with a minor, and endangering the welfare of children. The child was nine years old.
A relative of his was babysitting the child several times. The child sometimes stayed a few days in his home. The abuse allegedly occurred over a several months.
In 2024, he pleaded no contest to child endangerment and the other, more serious, charges were dropped. He was sentenced to five years probation.
Sometimes I hate this world.
- Allied News: Grove City councilman accused of relations with a minor
- WFMJ: Grove City councilman charged with sex crimes against 9-year-old
PROBATION! Un-f’cking BELIEVABLE! How can ANY court give this a-hole a pass when he admitted to raping A NINE YEAR OLD! HE REPEATEDLY ASSAULED A LITTLE GIRL.
And HOW DARE the “Allied News” refer to the rape and repeated sexual abuse of a CHILD as the a-hole having “relations” with a minor. RELATIONS! It was RAPE. I don’t know how these news outlets aren’t constantly sued for false reporting.
