Exposing the Corruption of the "Family Values" Party
Les Stapleton was the Mayor of Prestonburg and planned to run for State Senate in the Republican primary on May 21, 2024, but he withdrew from the race in January. However, he was sued for sexual harassment and assault by a city employee. A few hours after the lawsuit was filed Stapleton resigned as Mayor. He claims the lawsuit had nothing to do with it, rather he claimed he resigned due to the injuries he suffered from a fall from a roof.

Dan Rodimer was a Trump-endorsed Congressional candidate in 2020. In 2021, he ran in a special election Republican primary in Texas and got 3% of the vote. He also lost his 2018 race for the Nevada State Senate. He is a former professional wrestler with a history of at least three violent incidents, all at restaurants or clubs. He pled guilty to a misdemeanour on one of those cases and took anger management classes. They seem not to have worked as he got into another altercation on Oct 29, 2023. This time the person he is alleged to have attacked died from blunt force trauma.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, often called the Mormon Church, has protected and shielded child predators repeatedly. In December, 2023, The Associated Press did a story exploring just one of the many times the LDS Church has intervened to protect predators. The case they write about is unique in having recordings of the church’s efforts.
John Goodrich was a dentist and bishop of the Church of Latter-Day Saints (LDS.) He made a public confession to sexually assaulting his daughter in his church. He was excommunicated. Following his confession, his daugher and her mother made a complaint alleging years of sexual abuse to police in Idaho in 2016. However, his “spiritual confession” could not be used in court and the police did nothing.
However, he is alleged to have sexually assaulted her on a 1999 field trip when she was thirteen. The trip was to Washington, DC, and to Williamsburg, VA, where the famous Colonial Williamsburg draws hundreds of field trips each year. It was in Virginia where Goodrich was finally indicted.
In May, 2023, Godfrey voluntarily surrendered his license after the state licensing board received four complaints about him alleging sexual misconduct toward at least two of his employees. However, according to his website, he seems to flout his loss of license. Instead of therapy, he offers “coaching” and “consultation,” which seem clever synonyms to continue his harmful conversion therapy.
