Governor Blackface-Klansman Ralph Northam pardoned a Democrat who was jailed for underage sex crimes in his final act as Virginia governor.
Northam pardoned Democrat state senator Joe Morrissey, who was charged for having a sexual relationship with his 17-year-old law firm receptionist.
In 2014, Morrissey, who was 57 years old at the time, was sentenced to 12 months in jail for engaging in sex acts with a 17-year-old.
Morrissey married his receptionist after she turned 18 and they now have four children.

If he was 19 having sex with a 17 year old it would have been a lot different.
At 57, how is he going to be able to look after his kids as well as his wife? If he dies at 80, his wife will be 40 and will likely have kids in college.
Gateway Pundit has some good writers and articles but their headlines are the worst kind of click bait. They seldom deliver within the article. I wish GP would use headlines which reflect the facts in the article.
Couldn’t find SPJNK in the acronym dictionary but you’ve got my curiosity.
A private reply is fine if it’s bad words.
No bad words, but you have mail.
“I’m not mistaken Virginia law is a couple years of separation in age is not a big deal but if there’s like 20 years difference yeah that’s a problem for Virginia lawmakers.”
Known as the Romeo and Juliet Exclusion.
The exclusion keeps 18-19 year olds from being jailed for dating a 16-17 year old. The exclusion was intended for couples in a romantic relationship who had marriage in mind at the appropriate time/age.
It wasn’t meant for 30 year olds trolling for 15-16 year olds.
North Carolina has the R&J exclusion as well AND NC allows 17 year olds to marry without parental consent. For many years 17 year old girls who found themselves inappropriately with child, single and knocked up, would slip to NC with the baby’s daddy to get married. Everyone knew that a “Carolina marriage” was a shotgun wedding without the shotgun.
Some people just need killing.
“Not a bit of difference between your story and a 57yo man and his 17yo secretary. Eeesh.”
The differences between an 18 y/o male with a 16 y/o female and a 57 year old with a 17 year old could fill galaxies.
As to life experiences and other things the 18 and 16 year olds have more in common than the 57 y/o and 17 y/o.
You’re comparing oranges to watermelons.
Charming. Next you will tell us your nic "Luke21" has nothing to do with the New Testament.
She was 17
I could care less
They later got married and now have 4 children.
I would say that’s a good enough reason for pardon.
Although criminal prosecution WAS FAIR. The pardon was earned, later.
my mom was 22 but most where 16 back then.
Oh, I thought the puke Northam would’ve wanted to go out on his last day in official office holding a 10 month old dead aborted fetus
Since it’s something Dems support, then yes I must. Not as “bad” as Mahomet’s “relationship” with Aisha but a very close second.
My grandma was15
Fundies and fembots
An unholy alliance if ever there was one
Would raise consent to 21 if they could
Meanwhile fembots encourage women to be slutty like men
Empowerment they say
Quite the opposite I say
