Wyoming state Sen. Anthony Bouchard, a Republican who has emerged as one of the most high-profile primary challengers to Rep. Liz Cheney, said in a Facebook Live video Thursday he impregnated a 14-year-old girl when he was 18.
Bouchard said they later got married with the blessing of her mother, and took care of the child. Bouchard and the girl married when he was 19 and she was 15, the Casper Star-Tribune reported. He added that they got divorced about three years later, and she died by suicide at the age of 20.

i understand that...
i was just pointing out that 31 years ago isn’t recent and things drastically changed since then...
this appears to be a distraction from what’s happening now...
I don’t know the details. I read somewhere else that he did not violate the law in the state he was in at that time.
I don’t know. I agree he will be crucified by the media to protect Cheney.
I am having a hard time determining whether lawyers or journalists or Democrat politicians are the bottom of the garbage disposal.
Is this sleaze bag really the best the republican party has to offer? What kind of world do we live in that accepts an 18 year old man having sex with a 14 year old child.Go ahead and support this loser.It will just hasten the demise of this sleazy joke of a political party.
No upside for him staying in after this.
Next.
Eleven-year-olds have gotten pregnant. That doesn’t make it alright to have sex with them.
Jesus walking on water, would be wearing offensive robes.
SJ, respectfully my good FRiend, we do not agree.
Boy, some of the posters on here are really judgemental!
I was a 15 year old virgin when I met my current husband-he was 18. This was back in the 80’s also. Small town life. We are happily married and I never felt like a victim!
Probably accused of "cultural appropriation".
Where I was living the 14 year boys were doing the work of a man in the fields. The 14 year old girls were doing the work of a grown woman around the house while momma and daddy worked in the fields. They kept house, planned and cooked the meals including washing dishes. They babysit their younger brothers and sisters. They washed, rinsed, and hanged the clothes on the clothes line with a wringer washing machine. But that was a different time. Neither boys or girls had to have their diapers changed every 2 hours like they do now. I could walk into a grocery store and buy a box of .22 bullets. Or go to the hardware store in Plant City and buy a .22 rifle or shot gun if I had the money. You told a 14 year girl that she was not a woman, she would get mad. Same thing with a boy. Tell him he wasn’t a man and he would say, “I can do just as much work as you can”.
Thatâs even more disturbing. So he was 17 dating a 12 yr old. You may not see an issue here but you can bet Cheney, her campaign, the media, and her surrogates will pounce on this. This is not a good look no matter how innocently it is portrayed.
LOL..
35 years ago and you called that ‘fairly recent’? REALLY?
maybe 5 years ago it could be called fairly recent.. but not 35....
Well, we’ve been married 20 years this year & she just turned 50. My understanding is I can trade her in on two 25 year olds. Maybe a twenty year old 7 a thirty year old.
OMG...what world are you living in....This happens every day...He’s not a sleaze bag....or a pervert...or a rapist...
There are something like 8 candidates for Cheney’s job. This guy isn’t the best.
First, LOOK at what was responding to.
You got one person talking about how it was 50 years ago and how this was the supposed norm. Another person talking about the olden days 101 years ago. Yet another person talking late 1800s. Then a person tries to make the claim there wasn’t a change in “legal code until fairly recently”.
That is what I am replying to. This WAS fairly recently in those regards, legally and culturally. 1987. She died in 1990. Age of consent in Florida was 18 at that time and still is.
The fools saying this guy is good to go and talking about the 1800s, early 1900s are the ones you should be LOLing at.
Why should he be done? A Demonrat would get away with it.
If I lived in Wyoming, this revelation wouldnât be important. His stance on Conservative issues is much more important.
Naturally, the Republican morality police will happily join the leftists in destroying this man. Sickening.
All family ranch-kids had chores after school and on weekends-and in Summer, your parents and other relatives paid you for that ranch work-I’m Hispanic-from W Texas, but kids of all ethnic groups in the country lived that way-you assumed the responsibilities of an adult along with the privileges-this was in the 60s-it still goes on in the rural area where I live now-but more kids are homeschooled or in the local Christian school than in public school now...
