Sex education bill's sponsor teaches 14-year-old about sex
Categories: Teens & tweens, Love & sex, Behaving badly, In the news
Scott Muschany, a Missouri state representative, has been indicted in connection with a sexual assault on the fourteen-year-old daughter of a state employee with whom Muschany was romantically involved. Muschany is married with two children of his own and is a licensed foster parent. What makes Muschany different from other toe-tapping politicians (or, perhaps, not so different) is that he was the co-sponsor of bills that toughened laws regarding sex offenders (2006) and supported abstinence education (2007).It seems, however, that that whole abstinence thing doesn't apply to his girlfriend's daughter. The charges are just that, as of yet -- allegations of wrongdoing. Still, this is not the first time a conservative politician has been caught involved in what he was so vehemently against. (I wonder why you never hear of liberal politicians getting caught going to church or trying to pick up members of the opposite gender?)
I guess the important lesson here is to keep your kids away from politicians. I think, though, that that's probably a good idea in general, even without a scandal.

I think you're a bit out of line here, you need to let the legal process work on this before you pronounce a verdict.
There are clearly other explanations for the allegations which would see this man freed without charge - for example the father could be attempting to gain access to his daughter by painting the mother and her partner as abusive. The daughter could be trying to punish her mom because she was grounded or something. The father, if the STL report is true, is alleging that the mother was present when his daughter was abused.
I'm not saying that no abuse occurred but unless you yourself are a material witness (in which case you should be saving your evidence for court so as not to pollute the judicial process) you have no clue what happened. I hope you have more evidence than just that STL report?
