John Jessup to resign as commissioner in Hancock, Indiana, and faces prison after guilty plea over incident in Las Vegas
Days after winning elected office, a Republican politician in Indiana pleaded guilty to trying to sexually assault his daughter in Las Vegas and now must resign his position.
John Jessup, the commissioner of Hancock, Indiana, was charged in Nevada in June in connection with a sexual assault that occurred in January, reported the local Greenfield Daily Reporter newspaper and KLAS.
But he remained in office as a county commissioner, ran for a seat on the Hancock council, a distinct elected body, and emerged as one of three victors after collecting about 15,000 votes.
Records show Jessup, 49, pleaded guilty in Nevada court on 13 November to attempted sexual assault, which is a kind of felony that can carry multiple years in prison, according to state law.
Indiana prohibits convicted felons from serving in state or local elected offices, though a decisive majority of its voters on 5 November helped vault Donald Trump to a second US presidency just months after a New York jury convicted him on felony charges of criminally falsifying business records.

(431 posts)It's always good to have a police report and rape kit evidence. Then, it's irrefutable and indefensible. Lock him up after that!

The stained dress was a critical piece of evidence in the investigation of President Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal but did not directly impact a "conviction" since Clinton was never criminally convicted. Here's how it factored into the process:
1. Key Evidence in the Impeachment Inquiry: The dress, which contained Clinton's DNA, corroborated Lewinsky's account of their relationship. This contradicted Clinton's initial denial of the affair under oath, which formed the basis for charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in the impeachment process.
2. Impeachment by the House: The evidence from the dress strengthened the case against Clinton, leading the House of Representatives to impeach him in December 1998.
3. Acquittal by the Senate: The Senate trial concluded in February 1999, with Clinton being acquitted on both charges. The Senate vote did not meet the two-thirds threshold required for removal from office.
While the dress was pivotal in proving the affair and perjury, political and partisan factors largely determined the Senate's decision to acquit Clinton. Thus, the dress weighed heavily in the public and legal narrative but was not solely responsible for the outcomes of impeachment or acquittal.
