Yet ANOTHER Republican caught in a sex scandal.

Former South Dakota legislator Ted Klaudt (R) is on trial for the rape of two foster children in his custody.
His defense: It wasn't rape. It was immoral, but it wasn't rape.



Trial resumes on Tuesday.

Klaudt's lawyer: It was immoral, not rape

http://www.rapidcityjournal.com/articles/2007/10/31/news/local/doc47273df5f06e9380733728.txt




PIERRE, S.D. (AP) -- A teenager testified Wednesday she felt pressured to let her foster father touch her genitals because he claimed she could make thousands of dollars selling reproductive eggs.

...

The woman, who now is in college, testified for much of Wednesday's court session, the second day in Klaudt's trial on rape charges. She sobbed and wiped her eyes when she described her desire never to have children because she is afraid they could be physically abused just as her biological father had hurt her when she was a small child.

She was sent to the Klaudt family's care in Walker after being released from a state reform school. She said she had been in juvenile corrections programs since the age of 12 or 13.

...

Klaudt, a 49-year-old former Republican lawmaker, is charged with four counts of second-degree rape in Hughes County for offenses against two foster daughters. The rapes happened in Pierre during the 2005 and 2006 legislative sessions and one of the offenses happened when one of the girls was a legislative page, prosecutors said.

...

Klaudt is also charged with rape, other sex offenses, witness intimidation and stalking in Corson County, where he lives on a ranch. The trial on those charges is set to begin Nov. 13 in Deadwood.

I must say, that photo strikes me as a little grotesque, for some reason...

a horror show this fat bastard is.

That's the Swedish stuff. That's okay if you're a Scandinavian Hockey player.

More likely it's jsut good old fashioned redneck "dip" or "chaw"...

Even for a Republican. They just keep outdoing themselves.

:grr:

and on a completely shallow note: is he serious with that haircut?

n/t.

well done :)

...the camera does add ten pounds.

Then again, this guy must have at least 47 cameras on him.

I moved the picture in the thread because it looked like it was referring to his lawyer.

But that's him.

What a nasty bastard. I think I'm gonna spew.

Yikes, what an image!

Fucking pants would blow.

:rofl:

Please tell me he doesn't ride horses.

Or Maybe chickens!

Big game Thursday night.

They'd better play their A game every week from here on out.

Not here, but on other types of boards.

The only thing the Republicans hate more than the taste of their own medicine... is the truth!

The hypocrites deserve it, that's for sure.

Edit: Here, have some ammo. http://www.salem-news.com/articles/october172007/repub_scandals_10_17_07.php

It's not an insult, it's a statement of fact.

Has the Republican party turned into a branch of NAMBLA now? Diapers, wetsuits, dildos, foot-tapping: fine. Just keep it between consenting adults and I won't bicker, as long as you keep your nose out of everyone else's bedroom.

But this crap is sick. I hope they throw away the key.

:spray:

"Hey, baby, your eggs might be worth thousands. Why don't you come over here and let me give you a free appraisal..."

:scared:

:puke:

and bacon and lots of them!

"Klaudt admitted that he had done the tests, touched the girls' breasts and helped obtain vaginal fluid."

"Klaudt also acknowledged that he sent one of the girls e-mails from a woman who purportedly worked for an egg-donation organization. The e-mails urged the girl to let Klaudt do the exams, but Klaudt said he created an e-mail account to pose as the woman."


"The teens were among a number of girls who were sent to Klaudt's home "

How many more has he raped?

So often together...strange bedfellows, these republicon cronies...

politicians imagine whats going on among the rank and file republican voters.

I think we may need to put them all under house arrest or restraining orders. Seriously these are some really sick people.

The current Republican leadership, including all of their pathetic leading presidential candidates, appear to have become morally bankrupt en masse in some sort of Reverse Rapture. The question is, will "the base" continue to support this collection of perverted losers? Stay tuned.

What a beautifully alliterative term :). That's about the best explanation I've heard for what might have happened to the GOP leadership. Maybe someone should make a bumper sticker that says: "In case of reverse rapture, hide your kids."

if the evidence is there. This kind of perversion makes almost all of the other recent scandals pale by comparison. If he ends up convicted, I'm not sure they can have him in anything but solitary confinement. For what he did, a regular prison sentence, i.e. contact with the inmate population, would be a death penalty. He wouldn't live out his term. And from his photo, I don't think he'd have a chance in hell of defending himself. Outside of solitary, a year. Tops.

Yeah, rape is about his only chance to get laid.

Even a hooker wouldn't fuck this fat, disgusting piece of shit.

Could these corruption eruptions be the reason that the repugs appeared to be aligned on issues?

What is up with these people?

The funny part is how they condemn those who do. :eyes:

I hope he gets a long jail sentence. And classification as a sexual predator for the rest of his life. Plus, he must pay for counseling and therapy for his victims, these that are known and any others that may be revealed as time goes by.

...what a perverted sack of shit.

To exploit young women who were placed in his care *because they had no safe home of their own to return to*, that is beyond despicable.

And since he already admits he did the acts, well, methinks the man is toast.

If they'd known more about their own bodies, they would've known that he was selling them a pack of lies. If they'd had more adults in their lives willing to fight for them, they'd have been helped ages ago. :(

What an imagination. Egg donation. He spun quite a story to get access to these girls.

but nice observation

Apologies to Griffin.

Of course, Peter Griffin is actually funny. This guy is just a sick repuke pervert.

But like most mentally retarded folks Peter has got a good nature...the Rupuke has no such luck!

classy.

For those rednecks who are just "too cool to smoke" but cool enough to spit brown sh*t all over or in one very disgusting plastic cup they eternally carry with them...it's Skoal country!

Or better yet, let's waterboard him and deny him food.

Gawd how vile can people get these days...

:puke:

That's not possible. Republicans are not capable of immorality. They have weak moments and sometimes in weak moments they sin. But they are never immoral. They are God-fearing Bible-thumping Christians. They are not capable of being immoral. When they slip, they know it is the Devil. And we all know the Devil is a Democrat. Why, the Bible even says so. :sarcasm:

may he rot in prison and may those poor girls get help.

Unfortunately, most Republican voters don't notice or care that theirs is the party of repressed perverts and sex offenders.

Wow, he looks like an extra special piece of shit Repuke!

As soon as I read this story I thought of the Republican Sexcapades segment on The Young Turks. It's amazing to me that they have enough material to do this *every* week!

:scared:

nm

:grr:

I expected to see something about another bathroom sex sting... But molesting/raping helpless teens in his custody while collecting a check from the state? This is just plain sick and criminal.

Here he is in all his glory:

to come it. Someone already mentioned above that he has a box of skoal in his right pocket.

I can't believe this man hasn't died of a heart attack.

I think it's coming back into style among sick fucks.

Sheesh..............

what's next week

Gross, Gross, & Super Gross! :puke:

Americans has become so disinfrancised w/their government, that we allow the likes of this to be elected to rule our government & make policy.

Open your eyes, people! Get involved w/your government! Of course, we at DU ARE INVOLVED, but we are a small group. Until the American citizens are again engaged in government, we will continue to have sick, pathetic, unqualified scum such as this elected.

But I gotta ask: "WHO would vote for HIM?!?!!?" :eyes:

Mind you, I wouldn't make fun of someone merely because they're obese.

But this guy's an asshole.

But this is no joking matter.

This guy's the real deal.

Sick Fuck.

That's harsh. And yeah, he's fat, that's not helping him any. But his girth isn't the problem, it's the choices he made to abuse. Most fat people, it goes without saying, are fine people otherwise.

This is getting to be like that Pringles or Doritos commercial, I can't remember, - 'Republicans and sex scandals, don't worry, we'll make more.'

Second degree rape! Stalking! Witness intimidation!
When a democrat get exposed for some sort of affair, it's always with someone who was the age of consent and consensual. Usually and extra marital affair. Not something to brag about obviously but not a crime either.
What is it with these republicans and their sick perversions?
I am willing to bet that this guy's roommates in prison are going to have a great deal of fun with this roly-poly fellow.

Dear Mr. Klaudt,
You are going to learn about an old saying when he cell door clangs behind you. The saying goes: Turnabout is fair play!
By the way keep away from the twinkie bar will ya! And say hello to your new "friend" when you meet him, his name is usually "Spike"! Wanna take a guess why?

and the repukes are the family values party?

It is a big list, but it has missed out some of the most colourful sex offenders:

1. Larry Craig

2. Curtis (R- Washington)

3. Repug state legislator from FL who was caught soliciting in men's room in a FL park near Tampa

nt

But he is one big loser!
