318: Frank Sapareto – Republican Sexual Predators

Frank Sapareto was a New Hampshire Republican state representative. He was elected even though he was convicted of three counts of assault in 2013. An argument with his girlfriend’s son ended up with two charges of assaulting the girlfriend’s son and one charge for assaulting her daughter. He appealed the convictions but was unsuccessful. Ironically, he was named vice chairman of the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee.

Two years later, he was sued for assault, accused of beating up his collaborator in a porn video. He was the actor and was unhappy with the day’s filming. He was accused of breaking into the producer’s home and beating him into unconsciousness. He was hospitalized and the hospital documented severe injuries. Sapareto claimed thought he was filming a tourism video for Japanese tourist but the hours of video proved he was lying. He was removed from his committee vice chairmanship and lost re-election.
