There is a YouTube video of the Erie County DA John J. Flynn spelling out the charges and likely arguments. He looked pretty torqued off.

From another website -

Niagarafallsreporter.com reports: Pigeon has had a long career as a lawyer, consultant, strategist, campaign manager, and fundraiser. He worked for presidential candidates from 1972 to 2012, starting as a volunteer for George McGovern’s campaign in Buffalo.

In 1980, Pigeon worked on Ted Kennedy’s New Hampshire primary effort. Afterward, he returned to Buffalo to help him in the primary there.

When Kennedy ended his campaign, Pigeon worked on Carter’s presidential campaign.

He served in Gary Hart’s presidential campaign in 1984.

Voters elected Pigeon to the Erie County Legislature in 1988 and re-elected him in 1990.

He served in Clinton’s presidential campaign in 1991.

He was executive assistant to Donna Shalala, the US Secretary of Health and Human Services for the Clinton administration, in 1993.

He also served on the Task Force on National Health Care Reform, headed by Hillary Clinton.

In 1996, the elected committee members elected Pigeon as the Democratic Chairman of Erie County.

He was one of the only county chairmen in New York State to endorse Charles Schumer for US Senate over the mainstream party’s choice, Geraldine Ferraro.

He also endorsed another longshot, Eliot Spitzer, for NYS Attorney General in 1998. Both candidates won office.

**SNIP**

In 2003, Pigeon helped B. Thomas Golisano, the billionaire founder of Paychex Corp, one of his friends and business associates, rescue the NHL hockey team, the Buffalo Sabres, from bankruptcy. Golisano’s purchase of the Sabres prevented the franchise from moving outside Western NY.

Pigeon worked as a senior member of longtime family friedd, Dick Gephardt’s presidential campaign in 2004.

He was one of the early supporters of Byron Brown, Buffalo’s current mayor.

He was one of the nation’s top fundraisers for Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Over the years, he helped raise millions for the Clinton campaigns and their foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative. Billionaire Golisano was one of the founding donors.

Sentencing Delayed

On December 14, 2021, Pigeon was to be sentenced for his federal charges and in January 2022, for the state charges.

Pigeon’s sentencing dates were adjourned after the child’s rape charge. The trial is unlikely to start until 2023.

What’s the big deal? It’s just a typical family holiday activity in democratic households.

That 11 year old must be a racist.

He raped a little boy, didn’t he? Friggin’ scum won’t face justice unless he gets into the general population in prison. Those folks know how to deal with a chomo.

Child’s word versus his word?

Which one has had the most time to learn deception and how to lie?

This breaks my heart for the little girl. Why must she be subjected to that monster?

Not going to be popular here but here it goes.

The child (going to stick with neutral here because "local media" has been know to report stuff that ain't so) says they were raped five years ago.

Perhaps.

One side.

Kids do lie about such things.

Kids have also been led by therapists into "remembering" things that never happened.

It is currently cool to be a victim.

Other side.

Kids have been raped by adults.

They have been threatened into remaining silent.

Their own family members have even covered up the rape.

This is why we have a legal system and we hopefully have a justice system. To find out who is is telling the truth.

"But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream."

Even if he is a democrat.
