GOP ex-lawmaker still on the loose almost two weeks after being charged for raping House intern: report

Idaho Republican state Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger resigned in April, only hours after the Idaho House Ethics Committee recommend that full body expel him from the legislature.

"Committee members strongly condemned the behavior of the freshman state representative, who is accused of the rape of a 19-year-old House intern, plus pursuing, dating or asking out a total of four women employed in the Capitol this year, including, in some cases, sexual contact," the Idaho Press reported at the time.

The victim's identity was revealed by right-wing media and spread by Republican state Rep. Priscilla Giddings.

. . .

"The Ada County District Court has issued an arrest warrant for former state Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger on charges of rape and sexual penetration with a foreign object. The move comes almost six months after von Ehlinger took a 19-year-old House intern to his Boise apartment for a sexual encounter following a dinner date," the newspaper reported.

1. I'm in Lewiston. Our local paper put up a FB story about his arrest warrent. I commented, "Dang. I

can't read this. Was it a woman? An adult?" I read it, but just said I didn't. LOL

But just look at that assclown and it's little fasci hairdo. Tell me he isn't intentionally trying to look like a Nazi! He looks like one of the tiki torch incel's from Charlottesville.

2. You're right, he certainly does

He undoubtedly thought that being elected to the state legislature put him above the law and gave him license to do whatever he wanted.

3. May he, and all his supporters, defenders, and enablers receive everything they deserve.

4. What is it with these entitled creepy assholes?

The GOP fosters a culture of creepiness.

5. The under-reported aspect of this

is that he was originally _appointed_ by the GOP Governor to fill the seat after the death of Thyra Stevenson. This state's delusional GOP actually thought "Oh, this is the guy for us." He then won election as an incumbent.
