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.

Or if only they would let these dimocrats be married and not have to remain celibate.
Oh — wrong idea here.
Where are all the people who usually post on these threads if they are about priests?
no doubt FOX will be the ONLY network which will report this. Article says Dem lawmakers are urging him to quit the race. I’m sure in private, they are urging him to stay. His district, afterall, is “reliably democrat.” And we all know Democrats have NO morals. They are probably celebrating his “outing.” The rest of us are all EVIL for raising an eyebrow at his “normal” lifestyle.
yes, my heart sank as well.
That would have been AWESOME!
And the dems would have rallied behind him, CELEBRATING his lifestyle.
Celebrate diversity!
Hey, if you thought Obama wanted to mate, you’d run too!
Thanks for posting me. I've been so busy, haven't been on FR much.
Hope you and your wife are doing well. Praying for you both.
