Former GOP official arrested for sexting minor after mocking Anthony Weiner

Scott Hounsell apparently didn't get the message about throwing stones in glass houses.

On Friday, the former executive director of the Republican Party of Los Angeles County was arrested for allegedly sending sexual explicit material to a 16-year-old over social media. Authorities came to his house with a warrant following an investigation by the LAPD's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit. He was charged with a misdemeanor and later released on $40,000 bail.

While Hounsell, 30, had resigned from his role in the county GOP in June for an unrelated reason, a party spokesman told KABC, it turns out that he had recently thrown a number of partisan jabs at Democrats facing questions for indiscretions of their own.

Addicting Info first took a glance at his Twitter profile and found the messages.

At least Weiner had the "decency" to send his images to women over the age of 21.

I need a vomiting smilie. Actually, I need two.
