Chicago (AP) --
The son of an Illinois congressman is accused of having sexual contact with two female inmates and inappropriate contact with a third while working for the state Department of Corrections, officials announced Friday.
Jeffrey M. Rush, 41, the son of U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, was a supervisor of security at the Fox Valley Adult Transition Center in Aurora, a facility which houses female offenders.
Between February and June, Rush met two inmates for sexual contact on numerous occasions and offered a third inmate a ride, according to the Kane County state's attorney's office.
Rush drove a state-issued vehicle to transport one of the women and authorized more release time for another inmate so the two could meet outside the correctional facility, according to the indictment.
Rush was fired Sept. 10, and a grand jury indicted him this week on 47 counts of official misconduct.

Bobby Rush, a Democratic congressman representing Chicago's South Side and southwest suburbs, recommended state officials hire his son in 2003,
Bobby Rush is a good Democrat. By definition, good Democrats’ son can’t be guilty of anything.
The same people who hyperventilated about Clarence Thomas had nothing to say at all about Bill Clinton. Why? Clarence Thomas is an evil Republican, Bill Clinton is a good Democrat.
Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George takes up with an inmate. Conjugal visit sex was pretty good, but not as exciting as fugitive sex.
Caged Heat in Chi-town ping :)
I don't know why, but it’s cracking me up tonight.
Daddy, U.S. Congressman Bobby Rush, RECOMMENDED his son be hired to this position..
One would like to know his qualification, other than "daddy" was a Congressman..
Looks like the citizens of Illinois aren't being well served by their DEMOCRAT representatives....
Interesting - that the Congressman’s son STARTED as an Assistant Supervisor....
Nothing like being the son of a Congressman to move to the front of the line...
Some animals are more equal than others......
Sounds like a combination of Nepotism, Discrimination and Official Incompetence that so many offenses could have been amassed in such a short time!
Could RACISM have anything to do with the whole episode, and the length of time it took to finally address this serial offender????
Just asking!
We need a good President and good people in Congress; not any more trash.
Some story. Even though it is friday night and I am in serious need of a life, I will jump on over to DU to see if the DUmmies even have mention of this. They certainly never fail to do so when the last name is associated with a Republican.
Well gang, I went through 20 pages of DUmmie threads (DUmmieland has no search function) and found not a single mention of ths case. I’m shocked! Shocked I tell ya!
not mentioned as a lib/dem until the third from the bottom paragraph of the article...if it had been a republican...it would have been in the headlines!!!!!
Go to Google, type in:

Took me twenty seconds to confirm what you said.
Nothing but kudos to you for doing your search - just suggesting how to save time doing it.
“Say Baby, I like what you got. How do you like your food, water, clothes and not sleeping on a concrete floor in solitairy? I’m mister Keys to Your Door. How about a date?”
Don’t use the Dummies favorite search engine. Google is in bed with the them. There are a lot of things related to the left and far left that won’t appear on Google.
“When nepotism backfires” — next on Geraldo!
... especially since the article says he's a democrat.
Sounds like Daddy needs to make a trip to the freezer and get some bail money.
Thanks!
Wow, wonder if the statement on post 15 is indeed true? I can picture it actually happening.
