PIERRE - Former Republican Rep. Ted Klaudt could spend the rest of his life in prison after turning himself in to authorities Friday on felony charges that include eight counts of rape involving foster children and former legislative pages.

Five girls told authorities they were assaulted by Klaudt, court documents state, although charges filed Friday involve only two of the girls.

Four of the girls said they were accosted in Klaudt's hotel room in Pierre, where he stayed while serving in the South Dakota Legislature. Two of the girls were legislative pages when they were attacked, they told investigators.

He's accused of performing "ovary checks" and "breast exams" under the guise that he was helping young women donate their reproductive eggs, according to court records.

1. Castration of the perps should be the punishment

I used to be wimpy about the death penalty. Now I am changing my mind about that.

Get the bastards off the streets permanently so they can't keep popping up again.

Same goes for child rapists/sexual abusers. I think if they knew they would face castration, maybe that would stop them. Maybe

Of course women are abusers, too. Not sure what to do with them.

2. A comment from a local reader of this story.

Instead, we DO have to educate our kids. That is a tough thing to do in a society that sexualizes our children at younger and younger ages.

Regarding the girls not knowing re: egg donation, I guess my thought on that is I'm not surprised. When we live in a state where we don't educate kids about sex and only tell them to wait until marriage, we are priming the pump for sociopaths to manipulate. A person educated about his or her body does seem to have a greater sense of ownership, in my opinion.

3. Klaudt cosponsored bill denying abortions except for the life of the woman (or girl)

Republican Ted Klaudt charged with raping two to five girls. He is also charged with stalking, witness tampering and sexual contact with a minor.

He co-sponsored a bill denying abortions to women (and girls) except to save the life of the mother.

4. Somebody please start a Wikipedia article on him!

and add it to the Republican Scandal category. I would, but I'm banned from Wikipedia for trying to tell the truth about Freak Repugnic, and their history of Death Threats. The CONS wield great power on Wiki, and are have a different set of rules. They're allowed to insult the '9/11 truthers' and those trying to expose the Bush Crime Family or CIA Coups at will, but any Lib who insults a Con gets banned.

Just another Republican who can't keep his hands off kids.
