Messenger: Incoming Missouri rep accuses St. Louis colleague of rape
St. Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | October 2, 2016 | Associated Press

Posted on 10/02/2016 6:55:43 PM PDT by Loyalist

Four sentences in a letter to Speaker of the House Todd Richardson are about to turn the Missouri political world upside down.

“My name is Cora Faith Walker. I will be in the Capitol in January as the Representative of the 74th District. Earlier this week, I reported a sexual assault to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. I named my rapist as Steven Roberts, Jr., who hopes to be in the Capitol in January as the Representative of the 77th District.”

On Friday night, Walker, 31, a Ferguson attorney who won the Democratic primary for her seat in August, sent the letter containing those four sentences and more to Richardson, Minority Floor Leader Jake Hummel and assistant minority floor leader Gail McCann-Beatty.

She is asking the leadership of a Missouri Legislature that has been rocked by sexual scandals over the past couple of years to not allow Roberts, a Democrat, to take his seat until “this investigation is complete.”

....

Walker said the alleged assault took place either the evening of Aug. 26 or the early morning of Aug. 27 at an apartment in the city of St. Louis. She had gone there to meet Roberts to discuss how they might work together in the upcoming legislative session, Walker says. The two will be the only black lawyers in the Legislature.

Walker said she met Roberts at the apartment about 9:30 p.m. She woke up in a bed there the next morning.

“I had no recollection of why I was still there,” she said. Walker said she had two glasses of wine and remembers nothing after the second glass.

She told her husband, Tim, the next day about what happened, she said, but it took the couple several weeks to decide whether to go to police.

Cora Faith Walker's letter.

Everything about this story stinks, from the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape, Ms. Walker's slow and tepid response thereto, and the way everyone seems to be treating it as an internal Democratic party matter that unfortunately led to police involvement.

You can damn well bet that if Roberts had been a white Republican, this story would be getting major media attention. But play the Democrat "one free grope / rape" card together with the race card....

The scumbag might have been playing Cosby or she is using what she’s heard about Cosby’s drug and rape methods to burn Roberts for reasons unknown. Awfully odd that she went for a political meeting with a man, didn’t return home until the next day, yet her husband didn’t notice/report her missing.

Why is she not asking to have the rapist arrested, not just kept from his seat?

Whether the allegations are true or false, it’s another case of black-on-black crime.

Don’t be surprised later this month when the dems trot out a jezebel who will claim Trump raped her while he was in Military School.

What could she gain from a false allegations?

The downside for her is huge, if this is bogus.

I’m inclined to believe the woman.

Down toward the bottom of the article.

Roberts is a former assistant prosecuting attorney in the office of Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce. He was fired from his position in October 2015. Earlier that year, he had been investigated but not charged for an alleged incident at a bar involving a female college student. Roberts denied any wrongdoing.

Not his first time to be accused, hmmm...

"Walker said she met Roberts at the apartment about 9:30 p.m." [Note: This was in August, three months before the Nov. election and five months before the start of the legistative session]

"She had gone there to meet Roberts to discuss how they might work together in the upcoming legislative session" [The MO House has 45 Demonicrat members, none of whom were invited to the apartment to discuss how they might work together.]

"Walker said she had two glasses of wine and remembers nothing after the second glass." [Note: This was at a 9:30 PM supposedly political planning meetinng for something five months away.]

"She woke up in a bed there the next morning."

Something doesn't jive.

#13. In the Missouri of today, “nothing jives” esp. around the St. Louis/Ferguson areas.

The word is "jibe" (= "to be in accord with").

Going to a man’s apartment late at night and having drinks there. In an earlier era, that would be regarded as implied consent.

Wow, and incoming rat Rep-Elect in Missouri (unopposed in November) has accused another of raping her.

This would be huge news if a Republican was accused.

It probably wasn’t rape until the check bounced.

She doesn’t seem to have that Brillo hair, so I guess she could have been raped. But, he looks totally gay.
