25 years ago, 6 years before he went into politics.

John 8:7...

“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”

I’ve done some things I’m not proud of. And, it was facing my sins, and the terrible remorse, guilt, and humiliation I felt, that led me to Conservatism, and a better relationship with God.

ALL of the facts regarding his actions then, and afterward, are not known. Perhaps he, too, felt the weight of remorse, and has since atoned for his sins?

The way things are going in the Democrat party with the homosexuals in all the leadership positions in the House, you'd had Rahm Emanual on the phone threatening to come out and talk to him if he didn't just hang in there a while longer.

The Dems are definitely short a "manly interest" these days.

Nope.
Her sunday school teacher when she was 9 years old, her "employer" when she was 15 years old. Took her to SLC, bought some booze, and rented a hot tub. Evidently on multiple occasions. Then used his wife, son, and church to coerce her.

According to today's KSL.com story:

Maher said Saturday she and Garn were in a hot tub together twice -- once in late 1984 after she had just turned 15 and again a few months later in 1985. She declined to say if the pair were nude both times or to provide any other specifics of the hot tubbing episodes. "I'm sure the resignation was really difficult for him, but it needed to happen," Maher said. "This is a secret that devastated my life and my family's life." House majority leader Kevin Garn resigns

So Garn waited til she turned 15; his religion's founder married a 14 yo.

Is this a son or nephew of former U.S. Senator Jake Garn?

Did Garn himself bring this up after it had been buried for 25 years? Sounds like he though people would be “more forgiving” of sin, and usually they are.

No, if he had been a teacher, he would have already been arrested and charged as a registered sex offender.
