Sex Offender Runs For Mayor In Texas

[Filly]

Forty-two year old Brian Sliter is running for Mayor in Wilmer, Texas. Mr. Sliter was arrested during a police sting in 2004. He thought he was going to meet a fifteen year old girl he met on the internet for sex.http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jVgDiytiTMq-2GimCTZH_fqDfmFQD8VIVI100

"If you elect me, my first act as mayor will be to lower the age of consent to fifteen!"

"If you elect me, my first act as mayor will be to lower the age of consent to fifteen!"

"And clear my record!"

Hey, nowadays it seems it's not unusual for elected officials to have some kind of sexual skeletons in their closets.

I wonder if the man has any actual supporters.

His running for office is absurd.
Imo it should be illegal as well.

This sort of satire is the most updated thing I could find. Lots of comments make for interesting reading.http://wonkette.com/371509/sex-offender-running-for-texas-mayor-while-naked

Although Sliter dropped out of the race he's still on the ballot. The ballot's had been printed up and it's too late to change them.http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcon...wilelex_03met.ART.North.Edition1.46b630e.html

I have been saying for awhile now that this is why sexual predator laws are not harsher.

I thought criminals weren't allowed to run for office. I wasn't able to read the article cause story is no longer there so I don't know any details about his arrest or if he was in fact convicted or plead out.
