One of the many Democrats elected to the Virginia Senate on Tuesday is a convicted sex offender and disbarred lawyer, according to Breitbart.
Joe Morrissey was jailed and lost his license to practice law after being convicted of having sex with his 17-year-old secretary. He pled guilty to a misdemeanor in the ensuing court case and served for only three months in a “work-release term.” He was also forced to resign from his seat in the Virginia House of Delegates, but then ran again in the special election to retake the seat and was re-elected.
Morrissey then went on to marry the girl in 2016, and she

Roy Moore’s problem was not having this (D) in front of his name. Otherwise, he’d be in the senate now.

She was 17? Really? He did not rape her. I'd claim that laws setting the age of consent as 18 are anachronistic but throughout much of our history women were freely allowed to marry by 16 and many were mothers by 17. That said I am not a fan of pre-marital sex from a morality point of view but it is hardly a criminal act - just sinful.

"There's no fool like an old fool" . . . oh yes there is, it's a young fool who has sex with, then marries him and has his children!
Maybe those two want the same man to be their children's father and a grandfather simultaneously, if he can manage to live that long . . . or maybe he is a father figure to the young bride, which would be an incestuous relationship.
In any situation, a lot of good fortune must come there way for the sake of the children. (to quote Nancy Pelosi)

And why are the governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general of Virginia still in office?
I'll tell you why..... they were given a pass because they're Dems. Any Republican would have been long gone.

#2 - If having sex with a 16 year old girl is against the law, and you do it - it most certainly is a criminal act.
Your opinion of the law is irrelevant.

By the way this guy is 62. Now as I recall there was a whole lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth about Roy Moore who dated 18 yr olds when he was late 20's early 30's. Talk about double standards. Roy was single and looking for a wife and did in fact marry a woman who was over 10 yrs younger than he was in 1985 and is still married to her. Now I said at the time I know a number of men who have married younger women and I even know of a few women who have married younger men but if you have an R next to your name somehow that is perverted but if it is a D it is perfectly OK even when the girl is underaged. As a matter of fact the democrats like them at 12 to 14 on the Lolita express but then that is a whole other story isn't it?

This is actually a step down. An unconvicted sex offender was elected President - twice.

They were both old enough to know better. Having said that, I don't care who 17 year-old women have sex with. It's their decision, and none of my business.
Or anyone else's, for that matter.

He’s in Richmond, which explains it all. This kind of thing is rampant there and it has everything to do with demographics - which is why the voters didn’t care.

Never heard of a sex offense that was a misdemeanor. Having sex with an underage person is statutory rape is all 57 states. Something is fishy here.

Some younger women see the security and money provided by an older man as a way to get a good start in life and don't want to go through that first ten-year ordeal helping a young boy grow up and develop a career while living in a cheap apartment and eating Ramen Noodles. They aren't all stupid and naive and it's nobody else's business, including the law's.
Is he a good senator?

This stretches the meaning of "Virginia is for lovers" to the breaking point, but maybe that is because I am from Maryland.

This is the proof that too many morons in my home state and elsewhere have no clue who they're voting for. They're simply a bunch of lemmings blindly pulling the lever for anything that has a D next to it. My hope is that the Virginia Rats, in their hubris, seriously overreach, opening enough eyes to flip the legislature two years from now. But given the abject stupidity displayed by me fellow Virginia voters in recent years, I wouldn't put good money on that. I may have to cast an eye on a Florida residency instead.

If the GOP rolls over and doesn't even field a candidate in the district, this is going to happen.

There used to be the bumper sticker no one could argue against, which said, "Get the money out of politics" and today we need to see some that read, "Get the PERVERTS out of politics"... of course Democrats will think t means Republicans but Republicans will know that means Democrats... so your car might not get vandalized.

Let's talk about Virginia's 16th State Senate District.
Demographic's:
36.9% White, 54.9% Black, 8.2% Other
211,486 population with 130,681 Registered voters.
Joe Morrissey, White Democrat and convicted sex offender got 29,389 votes
Waylin Ross, Black Independent got 15,719 votes
Meaning 85,573 voters stayed Home....That's not a election that's a disgrace......

17 years old?
That's about 4 to 9 years older than a typical Democrat politician likes them.

N Virginia and Richmond are to blame for the coming demise of VA. I live here and am seriously considering leaving for a red state.

Same here, #23. My roots run deep In the Commonwealth but it's becoming a state that I don't recognize. How does one live out the state motto in the modern day?

And ..... Alabama has passed a bill that would require child sex offenders to be chemically castrated before they are released from prison.

#23 and 24, I lived in Loudoun County for 24 years and left two years ago for very red South Carolina. The1996 elections occurred a year or so after I moved to VA and not a single polling place in Loudoun County was won by Clinton. Then the government exploded and the new bureaucrats moved in and then all of the immigrants, legal and illegal, swarmed into Eastern Loudoun. Now the county is solid blue until you get out west of Leesburg. I love Virginia but could no longer stand the leftward swing and the proximity to DC.

He’s been disbarred twice, found in contempt of court 10 times, married once , fathered 6 children, jailed 5 times , forced to resign from the house...he has a long history. The lady he married worked for him she was 17, her father is the one who had him prosecuted because she was underage. Now he’s back courtesy of the Democrat voters.
