Wait. So, the mother was there when this happened, and did nothing?  Why isn’t she under arrest?

I asked myself the very same question.

Maybe she got immunity to testify against the gopper?

Excuse me, you were saying?

That’s BS!
How can this mother get away with this? She’s as guilty as he is (if he is)
I’m wondering if there’s a lot more to this story than what’s been made public.

They saved the good stuff for Billow Reilly’s show.

Excuse me, you were saying?

the gopper?

This guy is not a Republican, he is, if convicted, a rapist and child molestor. His party affiliation has nothing whatsoever to do with the this crime.

Anna: Prosecutors are far too anxious to make deals to make sure of a conviction, often letting as bad or even a worse offender to be granted immunity. But, you are are right that at a minimum, IF the charges are true, she is an accessory to the crime of rape.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

This guy is not a Republican

Muschany has been seen by some as a rising star in the conservative wing of the Republican Party.

Excuse me, you were saying?

Something to note: “realitybased"bob always makes mention of the political party if only it is a Republican.

Do you work for the Associated Press, bob? You share their dishonest biases and have the same blinders on.

I agree that party affiliation doesn’t have much to do with him being a child molester. The reason that Republicans get so much airtime when they are caught in gay love, men’s bathrooms, rape, smoking crack etc.. is because they use the ‘family values’ mantra as a political issue and ‘anger point’ and spew lies that Democrats are destroying families, support the gays, and are ‘anti-family values.’

I do know that if this person was a Democrat, many of the people that say, “It doesn’t matter he’s a Republican,” would in the heat of an argument, surely bring up a Democrat that has had a similar scandal(No teenage rapists(innocent until proven guilty) that I know of).

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ~Theodore Roosevelt

Nothing “ociated” about bob! Heh.

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

The alleged victim is the daughter of a state employee. The girl’s mother and Muschany -– who is married and has two children—were romantically involved, the woman said.

....

The investigation into the reported assault of the girl was spurred by a call to the state’s child abuse hotline, according to a May 27 Jefferson City police report. An investigator for the state Children’s Services department alerted the police department to a possible case of second-degree child molestation, the report says.

The three-page report, which includes no names of suspects or victims, says alcohol was a factor.

Muschany’s attorney, Robert Haar of the St. Louis firm Haar and Woods, told the Post-Dispatch today that “the allegations are false and we believe the jury will conclude they are false.”

Muschany could not immediately be reached for comment today. He has turned down several interview requests over the past two months.

On June 2, a reporter asked if he wanted to hear details in the police report. Muschany said: “I’m not interested in any details. That’s just crazy.” The next day, Muschany told the Post-Dispatch, “There is no investigation.” He did not return subsequent phone calls.

On June 17, reached in person at his home, he declined to answer questions and threatened to call police if a reporter didn’t leave his property. He has since refused to return repeated messages left on his cell phone.

The girl’s mother, who owns the house listed on the police report, declined further comment.

Last Friday, the father of the girl filed a motion for temporary child custody in Cole County Circuit Court. In the filing he argued that the mother’s “believed paramour was believed/alleged to have had inappropriate sexual contact with one of the minor children.”

The document also alleges that the mother “did admit that the incident did take place, including her witnessing same.”

Cole County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Richardson could not be reached for comment. He had previously declined to discuss the investigation into the alleged sexual assault.

Jefferson City Police Chief Roger Schroeder said that a narrative connected to the police report describes the details of the alleged assault, but that it was part of the investigative file and would be kept secret for now.

Neither police nor Cole County prosecutors would say whether Muschany has been questioned in the case. Police Capt. Mike Smith said in June that police had completed their investigation and turned the case file over to the Cole County prosecuting attorney.

The girl’s father told the Post-Dispatch that his daughter told a sibling about the alleged assault a few days after it happened, and the sibling told the father on May 26, the father said. He called the child abuse hotline the next day.

“I believe what my daughter told me,” the father said.

The girl’s 17-year-old brother told the Post-Dispatch his mother told him she has known Muschany for about two years and that they had been seeing each other romantically for about a year. The woman is a former House employee who now works in a different department in state government.

The Post-Dispatch is not identifying the girl because of the nature of the allegation. The newspaper is also withholding the names of her mother, father and brother, who share the girl’s last name. All three family members spoke to the Post-Dispatch without promises of anonymity.

On May 20, three days after the General Assembly finished its 2008 session, Muschany announced he was ending his reelection bid, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. At the time, Muschany said it was a decision he and his wife had made in early January, but he kept it from his colleagues so he wouldn’t be a “lame duck” during the session.

Muschany has been seen by some as a rising star in the conservative wing of the Republican Party. He ran for majority floor leader in the House last year, but lost to state Rep. Steve Tilley, R-Perryville.

The owner and founder of engineering firm Trileaf Corporation, Muschany and his wife were licensed as foster parents with the Division of Family Services, according to his legislative biography.

Muschany was chairman of three House committees. This year, he was involved in the push to approve tax credits for autistic children who want to attend private schools. In 2006, Muschany was a co-sponsor of legislation that toughened sex offender laws. 

I think there is more to this story than what is being told.....

Something doesn’t smell right here.

If it is true, then I say lock them up for a very, very long time.

It sounds as if the State Rep was romantically involved with the mother of the children. The father of the children has made this claim against the mother and the state rep.

Is this a custody battle?

Is the mother divorced, or cheating on the husband with the state rep?

Payback?

Again, I hope they investigate this fully, and if he is guilty throw both of them in jail, but I am not going to jump to conclusions until the investigation is completed.

I re-read this…

The girl’s mother and Muschany -– who is married and has two children

So is it the girls mother who is married and has two children or Muschany.

Because this is for one a case of cheating either way it seems.

I dug a little deeper and it’s Muschany who is married with two children.

Looks like he was cheating on his wife.

Though I have yet to find the marital status of them other, if she was divorced or married and cheating also.

Still, something seems out of place with this report, and will wait for the investigation to finish.

Thanks sanity, good work.
