A former South Dakota lawmaker is accused of molesting his own foster children and legislative pages.South Dakota Family Values
Ted Klaudt, 49, a Republican rancher from Walker, faces a long list of charges: eight counts of rape, two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, two counts of witness tampering, sexual contact with a person under 16, and stalking.
Court documents mention five possible victims. Three were foster children between the ages of 15 and 19 who lived with Klaudt's family. One is a cousin of one of those girls, and the fifth is a friend of Klaudt's daughter.
In the most disturbing accusation, the girls say Klaudt had them convinced they could earn up to $20,000 by donating their eggs to a fertility clinic. And even though he has no medical training, the girls say Klaudt did all the supposed "exams" and "procedures" himself.
Former State Representative Ted Klaudt is accused of manipulating, molesting, intimidating and threatening teenage girls who the state of South Dakota paid him to raise.
PZ Meyers explains:
But, see, this is one of the virtues of keeping young women ignorant of basic reproductive health. He was able to convince them to let him, a farmer with no medical training, that he needed to give them breast exams and poke around in their reproductive tracts...and they believed him. All those restrictive laws passed by repulsive old Republicans suddenly make sense.

ReplyDeleteIgnorance isn't bliss.
It's the opposite of what you stated, these girls did not have the information required to know that he was lying.
Instead if they were allowed to be taught more about the subject, on how it's done, _WHO_ is supposed to do it, they would be able to clearly say that this guy was trying to take advantage of them.
Instead he abused some innocent children never got the time to really study all this, being thrown around from foster home to foster home.
I can't even start to tell you how many times knowing all I do from local sex ed classes, and D.A.R.E. programs allowed me and all my friends to escape both drugs, and other really poor choices.
