Mike Maroney is a former West Virginia State Senator who served from 2016 to 2024. He is also a radiologist. He lost his primary in 2024 due to his political courage, holding some medically sound but unpopular (with Republican voters) positions in support of vaccines and medical interventions such as hormone treatment for transgender people. He was removed from his position of chair of the Health and Human Resources Committee after his arrest for indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.
He was seen masturbating in the video game room at Gumby’s Cigarette & Beer World. He was seen to be breathing heavily when he came for change and this prompted the women to look at the camera on the game room where they saw him masturbating. They called the police.
He pleaded guilty in June, 2025. He was sentenced to time served and a $250 fine. He still has additional charges to address from a subsequent arrest for DUI.
