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.

Whoa…awesome!
What obstacles he must’ve overcame to get that seat! For starters getting voters to see past his convictions and that label…wow!
It feels like Registrants are being represented even though I don’t know what his beliefs are or what his campaign platform was.
Either way this is progress and I hope we could use it to ride that tide of change for sanity.
As for Ron Book and people like him, if they’re reading this, I want them to put their ears to the ground and listen very carefully…
Because that is the sound of hell freezing over.
I hope and pray that he now uses his experience he has to bring legal justice to the system rather than turn his back on it in order to further his career.
Well.. I guess hell officially froze over. Let’s see how long it takes the shiney happy people of Virginia to take up the pitch forks and torches and run him out of office.
Good on him!
Maybe voters aren’t as stupid as our alleged “justice” system.Doug Prescott
Ironically, even though he’s a duly elected representative in the Virginia House if he’s on any type of SO registry he can’t “loiter” in many places in Brevard county to eat at a restaurant, go shopping in many stores, get gas, go to a bank, visit any friends or relatives….. the list goes on…..
