Sexual Harassment

An independent investigation commissioned by the House Ethics Committee found that he created a false rumor implicating another representative, accusing him of having an affair with a legislative employee.

When Bosma learned the story was being investigated, he spent $40,000 to investigate her, having her friends and family questioned. He is accused of using intimidation to attempt to silence her, threatening to release unflattering information to the public.

594: Chad Perkins

Menacing, Rape

Chad Perkins is a radio host and a Republican representative in the Missouri state legislature. He is a former police officer. It is alleged that while a police officer, he had sex with a drunk nineteen-year-old teenager in his custody. He claims it was consensual and bringing it up is political maneuvering.

There is no such thing as consent when a person is in custody of the police. To add to the inability to consent is the fact she was drunk. This is rape.

590: Mack Charles Andrews

Child Molestation, Child Rape, Sexual Torture

Mack Charles Andrews was the pastor of the United Pentecostal Church in Thomasville, Alabama. I confess what this man did has haunted me. He is extraordinarily evil. He raped several children. And now a content warning, do not go further if details of abuse sicken or trigger you. This is one of the most evil of all the predators I have written about.

Child Molestation, Sexual Misconduct

Anthony Bouchard is a Wyoming State Senator. He also ran in the 2022 primary for U. S. House and got 2.6% of the vote.

She killed herself when she was twenty.
