Okay....here's one of many problems I have with the allegations in the article.

She said she was bothered when she found that Jenerette did not acknowledge her sister as one of his children on Web sites about him and his current wife.
She said he has seven children, including four with Katherine Jenerette.
Jenerette-Begg said she had parted ways with her stepfather years ago.

She says that he didn't acknowledge her as his daughter, yet she refers to him as a "stepfather", and to Katherine as his "current wife", which tells me two things. 1. she is not his daughter and 2. he is not married to her mother any longer. What obligation does he have to list her as "his daughter" when she refers to him a stepfather?

Another problem I have is that she alleges that the abuse went on past the age of 20....that seems excessive. Also, she says the allegations aren't "about politics" but then asserts that her "stepfather and current wife" want to spread lies. I'm curious what lies in particular; and what does his "current wife" have to do with anything?

It seems highly suspect. I get really angry when women trump up charges like these because it then casts a doubt on those who genuinely suffer similar fates.

Unfortunately, as suspect as these claims seem to me, I'm sure it will be something Ms. Jenerette will have to combat. Unless you are a Democrat you don't get a pass on any scandal, regardless of the veracity of the allegations.

He was arrested and you can see the warrant on the internet. We will have to see what happens when he gets his day in court. You can see from the warrant that they have tape of him admitting to the charges. Both should be considered innocent until proven otherwise. Too many here are quick to attack the stepdaughter just because they like the politics of the wife of the accused.

You can sell her to the rest of the country but it will be SC that will be watching the trial and many here think the world of him but they just might have been misled.

Unfortunate for all but until the trial we just won’t know but it is baggage that she carries into the race, there’s no denying that.

There are many more - that as an attorney you can appreciate - and you can see more questions and information about the case and the accuser at the latter part of that thread:

BTW, apparently CPS (Child Protective Services) don’t think that Van is a potential threat to his children since he is not separated from his family, and I think that’s also telling.
