A Minnesota state representative has ended his reelection campaign after his daughter alleged that the Republican lawmaker touched her inappropriately for more than 10 years, beginning when she was 9.
Local police reportedly opened an investigation shortly after her post but declined to press charges. In a letter obtained by multiple news outlets, the Sherburne County attorney wrote to the county sheriff that “There is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that James Michael Knoblach committed a crime.”
“There actually was a thorough criminal investigation and no charges were filed,” Gaertner said. “So, at some point, you have to wonder when it ends.” Minnesota legislator quits race after daughter says he molested her
No statement from the Mother....odd hole in the reporting. I assume the police talked to her during their investigation. Do we need some sort of legislation to address this....do we have laws on the book that would tamp this down. Unchecked you could reshape lot of state and local govts that might be narrowly divided in a hurry.
