I really think the Republican presidential candidates need to be confronted about this hypocrisy within their party.CLEVELAND -- A lawyer who formerly led a Michigan young Republicans organization has pleaded guilty to sexual battery for forcing sex acts on a woman while both were at a convention last July.
The case was headed to trial, but prosecutors reached a plea agreement with Michael A. Flory during a break in jury selection Tuesday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court.
Flory, 32, of Jackson, Mich., faces one to five years in prison or probation at his sentencing Sept. 13. He also will become a registered sex offender. Judge Peter J. Corrigan will determine whether to classify him as a sexual predator.
When Corrigan asked if he was pleading guilty, Flory responded "sure." When pressed by the judge and prodded by his attorney, Flory then answered, "yes."
Flory had faced 11 charges, including eight counts of rape, kidnapping, aggravated burglary and gross sexual imposition.
"In the post-meditative experience become a child of illusion" is a slogan from the Tibetan mind training tradition. We engage the world as we experience it all the while realizing that reality is not as it seems to be.

Oh my goodness, here's another one
I'm getting tired of putting "family values" in the subject line. But here we go again. Heck, I can't keep up with all the Republicans who are involved in sexual violence and other forms of sexual misconduct. The article is called "Michigan Republican activist pleads guilty to sexual battery":
