Her father was former Congressman John Schmitz (R-CA). He ran on the American Independent Party ticket against Nixon and McGovern in 1972. He finished out his life running a newspaper kiosk in Union Station in DC.
FReegards!
When I saw the pair interviewed on Barbara Walters a few years ago, the kid/now adult/husband seemed profoundly depressed.
These stories are a reflection of the depravity in our ‘modern’ society and a warning to parents to be aware of all their children’s relationships.
Teachers, boy scout leaders, priests, - we hear of horror stories every day - never thinking it would be ‘our’ family tragedy.

Schmitz ‘s political career was ended when his extra-marital affair and fathering of two children became public. Congressman Schmitz also refused to support his out-of-wedlock children. Mary Kay’s paramour was in the same grade as her half-sibling John George Stuckle.
That’s wasn’t an affair, it was child molestation.
D@mn, honey, that lipstick...
He’s too old for her taste now.
