The 76-year-old chairman of the Union County Republican party, Billy Joe Turnage, has been arrested and charged with aggravated sexual battery and criminal attempt to commit rape, according to weekly North Georgia News. The arrest was Friday. The article includes these lines: “Oct. 22, dispatch received a 911 call at approximately 4 p.m. of what was believed to be an assault and rape,” Sgt. Osborn said. “It was being viewed via Skype. Deputies responded and I responded as well.” Ryan Mahoney, a spokesman for the state GOP, said state party officials have received no communication regarding Turnage’s status. Any effort to remove him would require action at the local level, Mahoney said. A picture of Turnage and David Perdue, the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate, is on the Union County GOP Facebook page. It’s not likely to be there long.
