Anti-‘Groomer’ Republican Accused of ‘Inappropriate Relationship’ With Intern

Anti-‘Groomer’ Republican Accused of ‘Inappropriate Relationship’ With Intern

"Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton called all-ages drag shows “grooming events” that “sexualize” children. An official complaint alleges he had an “inappropriate relationship” with a young intern."...

A complaint filed with the House General Investigating Committee by a legislative staffer and obtained by the Texas Tribune, as well as a Tribune source with direct knowledge of the incident, said that Stanton called the intern, who is under age 21, after 10 p.m. on Friday, March 31, and invited her to his apartment, where he served her alcohol...

The intern is described as "under 21." So... legal. Not a child. Not apples and oranges, but apples and apple flavored cereal... or something like that! Not exactly the same.
