I imagine the link would be helpful. The candidate is David Dickerson.

I am glad you added the link I was hoping it was Kweasy Mfooomi.

I perused all the posts as of my 2 cents.

Is it just me or is there something about the name Dick her Son? Is that prophetic or what?

That's a huge age difference. What's a 43 year-old unemployed man doing marrying a 19 year-old girl?

U.S Senate Candidate Charged With Rape And Assault

(AP) SPARKS, Md. A Baltimore County man running in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his 19-year-old wife, police said Monday.
David B. Dickerson, 43, was charged Saturday with second-degree rape and second-degree assault, as well as a fourth-degree sex offense.
Dickerson, who was released on $100,000 bail, denied the charges, said Craig Kadish, his attorney.
Anna Dickerson told police that David Dickerson slapped her July 21 and forced her to have sexual intercourse. Anna Dickerson described a history of such assaults dating to the beginning of the couple's marriage in Latvia in June 2005, according to court documents.
The couple have a 2-month-old child who is being raised by Anna Dickerson's mother in Latvia, court records said.
David Dickerson, who is unemployed, filed last month for the Senate seat of Paul Sarbanes, who is retiring.
Dickerson's campaign referred questions about his arrest to Kadish, who said the allegations were "absolutely, and completely false. There was no assault, no rape and no abuse."
Kadish said Dickerson would remain in the race.
He is a longshot in a crowded field to succeed Sarbanes, Maryland's longest-serving senator. Former NAACP President Kweisi Mfume and Rep. Ben Cardin are running about even in the race, with a large percentage of voters undecided, according to a poll commissioned by The (Baltimore) Sun and published last week.
Four other Democrats -- Montgomery County businessman Josh Rales, former Baltimore County Executive Dennis Rasmussen, Baltimore activist A. Robert Kaufman and American University history professor Alan Lichtman -- got about 1 percent each. Dickerson was among several other candidates who got less tha 1 percent.
