Democrat Caught Having Sex with 17-Year-Old Boy at Rest Stop

Democratic leaders in Minnesota are demanding a state lawmaker withdraw from his re-election bid after police claim he admitted to having sex with a 17-year-old boy at a rest stop.

While Rep. Kerry Gauthier, 56, will lose support from fellow Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party members if he continues with his campaign, party leaders stopped short Monday of asking him to immediately resign.

The first-term legislator wasn’t charged in the alleged July 22 encounter because the legal age of consent in Minnesota is 16 and no money was exchanged, according to the St. Louis County attorney’s office. Police say the two had oral sex behind a rest stop pavilion in Duluth after the teen responded to Gauthier’s Craigslist ad looking for a “no strings attached” sex.

Police reports made public last week say Gauthier came clean about the rest stop rendezvous.

I wonder if the MSM will make a big deal of this like they did with Akin who merely stuck his foot in his mouth?

[mardi59]

Why is he not in jail where he belongs? Oops, forgot, we must protect the homosexual agenda. Sick scumbags!!

[skeeter]

Lets see if certain FReepers can summon the same passion they have for the Akin situation and call for this guy to step down.

[Uncle Chip]

No — only the exercise of free speech is punished by Democrats and squishy old GOP senators.

I know that this is a serious subject but I can't help asking "on what grounds?" Democrats have no moral standards that they aren't willing to sacrifice in pursuit of political power. So what gives here? Any Minnesotan's have some insight that they'd like to share?

[cripplecreek]

Sadly when it comes to republicans, words are a serious as child molesting but only if we disagree with the words.

Was is this in News/Activism? This would only be news if the pol was a female; otherwise this is just dog-bites-man for the Democrats.

Why should he resign? What did he do that was wrong? Isn't this behavior sanctioned by the DNC Electoral platform? /sarc

Remember when sex used to be called love-making?

Now it’s just a head job at the rest area.

shoot him n the face

[Thane_Banquo]

Obama will probably have to pick him to replace Biden now. He’ll be a gay hero for this.

[GeronL]

Dems/leftists believe they are above the law

[cripplecreek]

From an Alice In Chains concert.

That senator don’t love no drug program, he been a dopehead for thirty
years... There ya go... The senator don’t like no women, he prefers
young boys in leather...

[Callahan]

Anybody else’s heart sink when they realized this was about some state level nobody. I was hoping it was Franken.

[stormer]

Who does he think he is, Larry Craig?

[kindred]

And pubbies run scared about Akin while their children are being raped by democrat politicians.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I think I’ve found Barack Obama’s new running mate!!

After heavy pressure from its base, the DNC has invited Min. State Rep. Kerry Gauthie to speak at upcoming convention.
