Another GOP lawmaker arrested for child rape

[dogday]

A former South Dakota lawmaker is accused of molesting his own foster children and legislative pages.

Ted Klaudt, 49, a Republican rancher from Walker, faces a long list of charges: eight counts of rape, two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, two counts of witness tampering, sexual contact with a person under 16, and stalking.

Court documents mention five possible victims. Three were foster children between the ages of 15 and 19 who lived with Klaudt's family. One is a cousin of one of those girls, and the fifth is a friend of Klaudt's daughter.

In the most disturbing accusation, the girls say Klaudt had them convinced they could earn up to $20,000 by donating their eggs to a fertility clinic. And even though he has no medical training, the girls say Klaudt did all the supposed "exams" and "procedures" himself.

WARNING: The following may be very graphic and disturbing in nature.

Luckily, people like him don't last very long in prison. And I use the term 'people' very loosely.

3. Another gop'er hypocrite. Legislative record re sex offenders

"Klaudt's Legislative Record

While Ted Klaudt served in the legislature, his name was attached to several bills designed to protect children from sex abuse. Klaudt served in the South Dakota House from 1998 to 2006. He served on the appropriations as well as the government operations and audit committees. And while in office, he co-sponsored several bills that took aim at sex offenders.

Klaudt was one of the house members who introduced legislation in 2006 that added more teeth to South Dakota's sex offender laws. The bill further defined sex crimes and spelled out new requirements for when, where and how sex offenders register in the state.

Klaudt also helped introduce a bill that created "community safety zones" where sex offenders are not allowed to live or hang out. The zones are within 500 feet of schools, public parks and swimming pools...."

4. I doubt this will be the last one

Is anyone really surprised at yet another immoral crime being committed by these fake, in name only Republicans? Maybe the surprise is that another one has been busted for what the truly are..... scum of the earth!

I'm quite sure as the current administration continues to lose their status/power that more and more of their friends and fellow party members will be exposed as unethical and criminals. I see this happening because the people(Bush & Co.) who have been protecting them over the past 7 years are losing their ability to sweep stuff like this under the rug and out of the public eye.
