Two charges dropped in sex assault case against local Republican official
Two charges dropped in sex assault case against local Republican official

A Monroe County Court of Common Pleas judge Thursday dismissed two more of the charges against Republican state committeeman John R. Curtin, accused of furnishing alcohol to teenagers and then sexually molesting one of them last August at a Stroudsburg motel.

Judge Jerome Cheslock dismissed charges of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and indecent assault by forcible compulsion, leaving in place other charges of sexual assault, indecent assault, corrupting minors and illegal contact with minors.

Curtin reportedly threw a party, inviting several minors, in a second-story room at the Days Inn in Stroudsburg Aug. 15.

Just yesterday I posted new articles on a Hawaiian REPUBLICAN Congressman Fox who was found guilty of misplacing his hands on a sleeping airline co-passenger. Groped her but good. How would you like to wake up and see a sweaty Republican face gaping strangely at you, connected to a hand up your garment?

Also, posted another Republican official in Hawaii accidently groped a cop outside a restroom. Same day!

This is puzzling, considering Republicans bill themselves as the ONLY party in the country with any moral standing.
Why IS it all these guys making their own kind of news are turning up Republican?

old Ricky Santorum? He's so hot on promoting those "good family values" and all!!!!!

4. Whoa! I can believe it. The tightly wound ones are probably the ones
who blow up the best. I hope someone will publish a book on this someday! Maybe a coffee table book!

Surprised to learn Jomentum didn't make it.....

5. My theory
There are republicans.

And then there is everyone else.

There's something about that party's idealogy that attracts the sickest, the most corrupt and the most zealous.

Shudder. Gives me the creeps, especially after I read EST's post.

6. Now if he had allegedly assaulted minor girls,
I could see the repukes saying "boys will be boys" and "those girls asked for it"-two defenses I'm sure will be used again when Roe is overturned and rape victims are forced to carry the product of a crime to term. But the fact that the victims were boys-I'm surprised the repukes are excusing it since they are the party of gay hatred. Of course, this could be another manifestation of the new morality-you can do anything you want so long as you are a republican.
