I live in Pinal County and Babeu is my sheriff. I really liked him, but if this is true, I will be disappointed and ANGRY. He seriously thought he could run for congress with secrets like these in his life? WTF??!!?
However, it should be noted that one of the main people behind this story is Babeu’s sister, Lucy, who spends an inordinate amount of time on the Internet bashing her brothers Paul and Shaun, as well as her father. There are 11 kids in the family, and many of them claimed they were sexually abused by their parish priest in Massachusetts. Some or all of them even received a settlement, including Paul, even tho his story isn’t consistent. He later worked as a counselor/administrator at a residential treatment center for troubled youth run by Mike DeSisto who apparently was molesting and mistreating the kids.
All in all, a lot of red flags which should have caused some concern, but he moved across the country a decade ago and people just looked the other way. It was bound to come out sooner or later, which is what angers me. Now everything good he has done about the illegals in Pinal county will slowly dissipate.

OMG ping!
“It was bound to come out sooner or later, which is what angers me.”
What angers me is I wish this had come out during McCain’s primary fight with JD Hayworth in 2010. Babeu was in a campaign Ad with McCain lying about building “a dang fence”. Opposition research would have paid off.
