A Republican candidate running to unseat a Democratic incumbent in the state Legislature is facing charges for exposing himself to a child walking to her bus stop earlier this month.

Authorities charged Andre Stafford, running for Georgia House District 42 in Smyrna, with one felony count of child molestation and one count of public indecency.

Reached by phone, Stafford said he was innocent, but would not comment further about the accusations or his campaign for state House.

Authorities arrested Stafford on Thursday. Records show Stafford was released on Saturday on a $27,720 bond.

According to an arrest report, Stafford is accused of telling a girl she was pretty before exposing himself and driving away from a bus stop early on Oct. 15. The report did not give the age of the alleged victim.

What is it with Republicans and sexual indecency? Something about being rich and powerful must make people not see other people as anything other than sec toys.

    Fascinated by this site’s way of blocking non subscribers from reading. If you hit reading mode, once you get to the wall, the word are backwards and garbled. Usually the article just abruptly ends and it says the same thing the popup does.

    Why?

    On topic, this guy isn’t white enough to get Republicans to want to protect him.

      He does inappropriate things with his willy, around kids, and likes Trump. He’s a perfect example of a mam for Republicans, of course they’ll protect him.

        I think it depends on if he ruined his utility to them too early? And if he’s convicted, of course.

        I think they’re backwards and alphabetized by paragraph? The words seem related to the content of the article.

      I was about to post about exactly that. lol. It carries over to archive.today. lol.

      Oh well, if I was less lazy, I’d block them in my DNS, but I’ll remember to not bother reading them anymore.
