Bombshell - KSFY Names the Victim in the Sutton Page Investigation
Read it all here. Holy crap. I'm surprised that KSFY would "out" a possible crime victim like this. If there's anything positive to come from that (which I don't really see), hopefully it will blunt any criticism that it's a political thing, since at about that time Dennis was one of their candidates for Governor.On Thursday afternoon Mike Butler, the lawyer for state Senator Dan Sutton, said his client has done nothing wrong. He says it all started during this year's lesgisaltive session when rumors circulated about Sutton. But nothing came from the rumors until this month when former Democratic candidate for governor Dennis Wiese sent a letter to Senate leadership.
"Now Mr. Wiese has decided that he would apparently contact Senator Schoenbeck," Butler says, "and attempt to accomplish by public accusation what he couldn't get accomplished by a criminal investigation."
In that letter Wiese says his son, who was a page at the time, was groped by Senator Sutton. Butler says he doesn't know who made that those letters public, but the timing is political according to the attorney, as Washington, D.C. Reacts to the Congressman Mark Foley page scandal.
Keep the Wiese family in your thoughts at this time. I can't imagine what his son is going through.
Comments
IF it is true, as Mike Butler claims, that the victim's father and Sutton endorsed each other for office before the June primary, which was AFTER the allegation was made in February, then one can only wonder if the victim's father would have pushed this issue if he had won the primary too.
Maybe Dennis Wiese didn't find out about it until some time after the primaries were over.
Just a sad / sick situation. and if the allegations are false - then it's even worse.
Wiese knew (and so does everyone else) that he couldn't beat Sutton. Wiese reports this ALLEGATION a.k.a RUMOR to the authorities and they cant find ANYTHING after months and tons of interviews. Gimmie a break. If there was any truth to this crap they would have "cuffed and stuffed" Sutton by now.
It's all false, everyone from Suttons district knows that and when all the facts come out....so will everyone else.
Give Sutton a break. Wait for the TRUTH!!!! And as far as I know....an ALLEGATION is not nor ever has been a SYNONYM for FACT or TRUTH.
Lighten up. It's a joke! (kind of)
Don't mess with Lee...you might end up sleeping with the fishes.
