another repug sex scandal

What’s a day without a Republican sex scandal? Next up: Ozwald Balfour!

As far as I know—he campaigned for Orrin Hatch and is on the executive committee of the Utah Republican Party.

Salt Lake Tribune:

A 3rd District judge this week scuttled Republican leader Ozwald Balfour’s efforts to disqualify the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office from prosecuting him for allegedly groping, or attempting to grope, four women. Four sex assault cases filed against Balfour in 2005 were still unresolved last fall when he threw his support - and the free services of his two media consulting companies - to Republican district attorney candidate Lohra Miller.

He is charged with three second-degree felony counts of forcible sexual abuse and one count of attempted forcible sexual abuse, a third-degree felony.
