Convicted Sex Offender Elected to Virginia Senate

Joe Morrissey was jailed and lost his license to practice law after being convicted of having sex with his 17-year-old secretary. He pled guilty to a misdemeanor in the ensuing court case and served for only three months in a “work-release term.” He was also forced to resign from his seat in the Virginia House of Delegates, but then ran again in the special election to retake the seat and was re-elected.

    So much mixed emotion in me on this!!!
    Omg 62 he is!!!!!
    Yes i want a 19 year old partner if they can fit with me emotionally which 90% of my peers say they would not.
    Yes i think it is gross for some one so old to be with someone so young, but i am going to be there in 10 years and i will still have that taste.
    Yes i remember the Roy Moore extravaganza and wondered how the same people who want to keep me in chains for being like him (previously) want to elect him!!
    Yes i wonder how we can guess this dude is not such a bad guy and deserves this seat and freedom from registraion when we know absolutely nothing about him but what we just read in a news article.
    OMG IT IS ALL TOO MUCH TO EVEN FATHOM SO I WILL NOT BE VERY AVAILABLE FOR THESE MESSAGES. I live a vehemenant life so stay tuned 😘

      At least some communities are starting to get it. Our problem is that we live in the South.

    If he decides to visit Lee County Florida he will not be able to visit the beaches, the parks, and many other places. – Even though he is a senator.

    Sounds like he is not on the Scarlet SO registry, since his state classified his offense as a misdemeanor, or he would not have had a chance.
