Prominent Missouri Republican charged in bizarre sex case

[Louisiana1976]

In the annals of American/Republican sex scandals, this definitely qualifies as one of the strangest cases:

Former Missouri House Speaker Rod Jetton (R) "was charged with felony assault that allegedly happened during an S&M session gone wrong," reports the Riverfront Times.

Reports say Jetton told the woman to use the safe words "green balloons" to make him stop but she was apparently drugged, fading in-and-out of consciousness and unresponsive.

8. Sadly he had

to close down his political consulting business.

< Jetton's lawyer, Steve Wilson, said in an e-mail Tuesday that his client was closing his political consulting business, Rod Jetton & Associates, to "deal with false allegations and spend time with his family," according to media reports. The firm's Web site, which was functioning Monday, was dismantled by Tuesday.>

9. This is why all sex should be videtaped, under contract...

and in the presence of a notary public.

10. If he surreptitiously drugged her beforehand

...then she was in no condition to agree to anything, including the use of safe words.

My hope is he is charged with rape as well as assault.
