She claims LGBTQ+ rights need to be restricted to "protect kids," but she appointed a man who admitted to having sex with a minor to a high-level position...
appointed a man to a top state prison post even though he had previously been fired from a local police force for receiving oral sex from a teen girl in a post office parking lot.
He had sex with a minorhe committed statutory rape apparently anyone over 16 is legal in arkansas.
Lewd behavior in a public place.
While he was a cop (and in a position of power over people)
He is appointed to a top prison post (where he has a position of power over people even more).
How come he was fired and is not in jail plus a registered sex offender?
I would like to point out that receiving oral sex in a parking lot is most likely illegal in w/e his circumstance was. If he was on the clock, or in uniform it could also be considered a "gratuity" in some sense. But that would be something for the courts to decide. You're absolutely correct on everything else.
Read the article. She have him a BJ in a parking lot and allegedly said she was 18. She's so trashy her own mother is defending the cop! They don't mention his age either... Was he 20 at the time or 40? That context makes a huge difference, especially in the eyes of the law. Did you do anything with a 17 yo when you were 18 or 19?
That said, dude running around getting BJs in parking lots from trashy girls (of any age) he just met, getting a job from someone running on a morality platform, is quite the ironic situation.
he had sexual relations as an adult with a 17-year-old girl
The age of consent in Arkansas is 16
The girl’s mother said she suspected that her daughter might have lied about her age to attract male attention, and the mother added that she didn’t want Jones to go to jail over the sexual relationship with her daughter.
Even miners need love, just because he's low-class doesn't mean he should be shunned from positions of authority, why I hear tell we had a dairy farmer as president once, or maybe he just fought like a cow
