BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A former Republican state lawmaker from Idaho who was facing a sexual abuse investigation has shot and killed himself, authorities said Tuesday. Brandon Hixon was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in his home early Tuesday, Canyon County Coroner Vicki DeGeus-Morris said. A family member discovered his body.
Officials have released no details about the criminal investigation into Hixon, 36, except that it was related to possible sexual abuse. Records obtained by The Associated Press show that he was previously the focus of a separate police investigation in 2014 after being accused of inappropriate touching.
At the time, Hixon denied the accusations and told police he was worried they would harm his political career. It’s unknown if the new investigation, ongoing since Oct. 5, was connected to the earlier case.
The attorney general’s office was overseeing the investigation but declined to comment Tuesday.

From last November:
NOVEMBER 3, 2017
It’s strange how right-wingers accuse liberals of pedophilia, rape, sex trade, and a long list of other atrocities, yet the people who regularly get caught committing these acts are “family values” Republicans. Conservatives went nuts when Democratic donor Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment scandal came to light because they finally had someone to attack. Still, Weinstein’s case doesn’t change the fact that this is mainly a problem on the right.
Idaho state Rep. Brandon Hixon campaigned on “traditional family values” as the “foundation of our nation.”
However, actions speak louder than words, and according to Axios, Hixon couldn’t keep his hands to himself while babysitting.
Hixon suddenly resigned because of “sexual abuse allegations” against him. Hixon is nothing more than a fraud who promoted conservative beliefs to become a politician. In reality, the man is a known sex offender.

Four years of struggling with his fears did this man in.
We've seen much more dedicated, determined hard-case pervs in the Republican Party.
