MO Republican Representative Indicted for Sexual Assault on a Minor

Wed Aug 06, 2008 at 04:05:16 PM PDT

In a copyrighted story, the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that Republican State Representative Scott Muschany has been indicated for the alleged sexual assault of a 14 year old girl.

STL Today, the Post's on-line addition provides the sordid details.

Missouri state Rep. Scott Muschany, R-Frontenac, was indicted today in connection with a reported sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl on May 17, the day after this year’s Legislative session ended.

The alleged victim is the daughter of a state employee. The girl’s mother and Muschany -– who is married and has two children -- were romantically involved, the woman said.

Basically, it looks like he was dating mom and abused the daughter.  Family values at work.

This story is breaking now.  I'll update with more details as I find them.

update #1
Muschany is not running for re-election this year having told his colleagues that he wanted to 'spend more time with his family'.  The details really are disgusting:

On May 20, three days after the General Assembly finished its 2008 session, Muschany announced he was ending his reelection bid, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. At the time, Muschany said it was a decision he and his wife had made in early January, but he kept it from his colleagues so he wouldn’t be a "lame duck" during the session.

Muschany has been seen by some as a rising star in the conservative wing of the Republican Party. He ran for majority floor leader in the House last year, but lost to state Rep. Steve Tilley, R-Perryville.

The owner and founder of engineering firm Trileaf Corporation, Muschany and his wife were licensed as foster parents with the Division of Family Services, according to his legislative biography.

God, they were bringing foster children into their home.
