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.

Reason for suicide?
Finished because he impregnated AND married a 14 year old girl when he was 18?
Is he running to become a monk?
If you’re a Republican and you go into politics you are !
It’s not right, it’s not fair and it doesn’t apply to Rats but that’s just way it is.
Wyoming GOP needs to find another baring a miracle for this guy.
What was the age of consent in Florida back in the mid 1980s?
Of course, if he had made his girlfriend have an abortion, he could have been a democrat hero.
Sounds like you know more about this story. Is there a record of why she committed suicide?
there are no perfect people.....this is just the ds wagging their money around to discredit anyone who would dare face down their people....
What is the problem here?
So many self righteous people on this board. Like they never did anything wrong or inappropriate when they were young. This happened about 40 years ago, not a big deal in my opinion.
Oh boy the story just gets better !
like nobody got pregnant out of wedlock back then....like nobody gets pregnant out of wedlock nowadays...
I don’t see any indication of why she did it, but she was pregnant at 14, divorced at 18. A lot of people are going to do the math and come out with an answer not favorable to Bouchard.
Scrum of challengers awaits Cheney after House GOP ouster
Over a year remains before Wyoming’s deadline to file for the August 2022 Republican primary, but already at least six Republicans plan to run against her....
“I’ve never been a Cheney fan,” said one primary opponent, Marissa Joy Selvig, a former mayor of Pavillion, population 200. “She has been working more for herself and for the Republican Party than she has the citizens of Wyoming. That’s what I see.”

Others running include
- state Sen. Anthony Bouchard, a gun rights activist and co-owner of a Cheyenne-area septic system business;
- state Rep. Chuck Gray, a conservative radio commentator whose father owns Casper-area radio stations; and
- retired Army Col. Denton Knapp of Trabuco Canyon, California, who graduated from high school in Wyoming in 1983 and plans to move back.
So, good job getting the vetting going now. Lots of time to pick our favorite replacement.
I’m appalled at the reactions from all the perfect posters on FR that never made a bad choice then did the right thing, aren’t you? I didn’t know FR had such perfection in it’s midst.
After divorce she had problems with a man in another relationship
Yup.
Instead he did that horrible thing. . He MARRIED her. Oh no!
Chuckle.
Why not..He married her,theyhad the baby and she fell on hard times after their divorce...All by the time he was 21.....People have you never made a mistake ?????? How about any mistakes after 21????
GET RID OF BOTH TRASH!!!!
I have made a lot of mistakes in my life, one of them was not having sex with a 14 yr old when I was 19. In most states that is considered rape
I mean he made all these big mistakes by 21...Are there any freepers who have made no mistakes for the last 40 years???None at all ????
It will be as I said.
