Not Quite Centered II
When a woman complained to police in Centerville, Iowa, that a man had offered to forgive a loan in exchange for letting him perform sex acts on her, and then grabbed her and started kissing her neck, officers investigated and charged Ben Clifford Dawson with prostitution. The charge was amended to assault with the intent to commit sexual abuse, and harassment, but still, it looks like Dawson’s political career may be over: he’s a candidate for city council. When news of the allegations went public, several other women stepped forward with similar charges. Dawson, 83, was released on bail. (RC/Centerville Iowegian) ...Isn’t “politician released on bail” pretty much redundant these days?Original Publication Date: 27 November 2011
