Sexual Misconduct
Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Jud McMillin was reportedly a “rising star” in the Indiana Republican Party. He was elected in 2010 and quickly became the majority floor leader. He was considered the most ambitious in the caucus. That fell apart in 2015 when several suggestive and inappropriate texts were sent from his phone and sexual explicit video was also sent. This was followed by a message asking people to ignore what was sent because his phone was out of his hands and his control for several hours, but he had it back. But there was that sex video.

Sexual Misconduct

Curtis Hill was the Attorney General of Indiana after serving as a prosecutor for many years. When the legislative session ended in 2018, folks went to an area bar to celebrate. Four women came forward with complaints about him touching them inappropriately, including sliding his hands under their clothes and groping them in two cases. Additional women complained of him telling them they need to show more skin. There was an investigation, but it was centered on what liability the government might have which was none since it was an unofficial event and the women did not work for him.

Sexual Misconduct

Charles Schwertner was accused of sending an explicit text message and a photo of his genitals to a University of Texas graduate student — telling her, “I just really want to f**k you.” He denied it. He alleged that a third party to whom he gave his log-in information used his Linked-In and Hushed account (a phone spoofing account) to send the message. He refused to name that person and refused to cooperate with the investigation. Nonetheless, the University said his explanation was plausible. Schwertner said that that closes the case.

The Univesity said it is clear the student received the text and was justified in believing Schwertner sent them. The report did not clear Schwertner, despite his claims otherwise.

His first wife was a high school student who said he began courting her when she was 16 and still his student. The Seattle Times timeline listed 12 separate allegations against him. CWU investigated and fired him citing a pattern of inappropriate behavior. He refused to resign from the legislature but said he would not run again. However, after he was fired, his caucus asked him to resign.

Scott DesJarlais is a Tennessee Republican U.S. representative who has been exposed as a hypocrite on abortion, supporting his ex-wife’s two abortions. But that’s not why he is on the list of Republican Sexual Predators. He had sex with his two of his patients. Also with three co-workers and a pharmaceutical rep. But let’s focus on the patients. He prescribed medication to one of them. They are dependent on him and he has a position of trust and power that he violated. So far with impunity.

Eric Greitens was the governor of Missouri when he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman and using a photo he took of her while she was blindfolded to extort her silence. The telling thing was that members of his own party led the investigation and the demands for his resignation. Prosecutors made a deal to drop some charges against him if he resigned. He resigned.
