Sexual Harassment
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Anthony Bucco is a New Jersey state senator and currently the Republican Party Whip. In 2002, a woman filed a complaint alleging that Bucco made a sexual relationship a requirement of employment. The woman was fired when Bucco’s wife found out. Bucco found her another job but when she refused to continue the relationship, she alleged he got her fired from that job, too. Since the state of NJ was named as a co-defendant, tax money was used to help him negotiate a settlement.

Child Molestation, Child Rape
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Daniel Edmonds ran for the Republican nomination for US Congress in 2010, but he lost. In 2019, he was arrested for having inappropriate sexual contact with a child over a four-year period. A second child said Edmonds began molesting him around 2015 and continued until December 2018. He was arrested in January, 2019, so who knows how long it might have continued if the child had not come forward.

Rene Rodriguez had been a deputy in Blaine County before being elected Sheriff in Lincoln County Idaho as a Republican. In 2019, he was arrested and charged with one count of sexual abuse of a child under the age of 16, four counts of lewd conduct with a minor and two counts of rape, all felonies. The victim was his adopted daughter. She told her mother in 2005/2006 when she was nine but nothing came of it. When she heard her younger sister was sleeping in his bed, she came forward in 2018 to protect her. This was disclosed to the jury and after his conviction this was the basis for his appeal, that they should not have been told. The court disagreed.

Familial Abuse & Violence

Robert Goforth was a Kentucky state representative and a gubernatorial candidate. He was arrested in 2020 for strangulation and domestic violence charges. His wife told police he strangled her with a cord until she feared for her life and was about to pass out. In a plea deal, he pleaded guilty to the domestic violence charge and the strangulation was dropped. He was sentenced to 59 days which he gets to serve concurrently with a federal sentence for fraud and money laundering. I think the voters in his district deserve to be called out as well. 71% of them re-elected this abuser even though his indictment for domestic violence and strangulation was common knowledge.

Bo Dresner was a Republican county official, sergeant of arms, and a precinct chair in Hays County, Texas. He has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of one victim over the course of seven years. The four children in his custody have been removed. Aggravated sexual assault means the alleged assailant caused serious bodily harm, used fear or threats of violence, flourishing of weapons, to coerce them, or gives them something that impairs their ability to resist.
