Former page says S.D. senator groped him

Another Fingers Foley replica... Good thing Congress passed 416-0 a Foley Bill..

PIERRE, S.D. - A former legislative page told lawmakers Tuesday that a state senator sexually groped him last year while the two shared a motel room at the start of the young man's weeklong stint in the Legislature.
A lawyer for the Senate identified the page as Austin Wiese, 19, whose family was close to Sen. Dan Sutton.
While it is The Associated Press' policy not to identify people who say they are the victims of sexual assault, Wiese's name was used in the Senate committee's public hearing, which was carried live on the Internet, and has been circulated by other media in the state.

The Senate has accused Sutton of sexual misconduct. He could be censured, disciplined or expelled when the full Senate votes on the matter. The vote is expected Jan. 31.

South Dakota's attorney general and other law enforcement agents investigated the allegations and made no arrests.

I knew Foley wasn't the only pervert as others kept silent. Now we'll hear of more to come. This is turning out like the church. You just don't know who a person really is anymore. Great examples of leaders showing family values and morals.
