Report of Staffer Raping Women Overshadowed by Staffer Writing About Obama Children

I am sure that the media will have a good answer for this.  While they are in a full blown tizzy about a Republican staffer writing on social media about the Obama Children, a Democratic staffer was quietly pleading guilty to sexual assault of women.  Nope not a top story.

Right Wisconsin:

The Washington Post reports:

 

Donny Ray Williams Jr., 37, who served as a staff director for the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee, pleaded guilty to third-degree sexual abuse, two misdemeanor counts of sexual abuse and one count of misdemeanor threats.

 

Prosecutors say that on July 22, 2010, Williams invited a female congressional colleague to his Capitol Hill apartment and promised to introduce her to Senate employees. At the house, prosecutors said, Williams spiked a drink with Ambien. The woman, according to court documents, fell into a “deep sleep,” at which point Williams raped her.

 

A month later, prosecutors said, Williams invited another woman to his home and gave her alcoholic beverages. They said he had sexual contact with her when she was too intoxicated to give her consent.

 

Williams had been indicted on 10 counts, but prosecutors agreed to dismiss the remaining charges. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors said they would seek a suspended prison term and five years of supervised probation. Williams also would have to register as a sex offender for 10 years.

 

Donny Ray Williams Jr.'s tenure in Washington included a stint working for Wisconsin Sen. Herb Kohl. Williams also worked for Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), and panels chaired by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA).

 

News of Williams' guilty plea was overshadowed by the overwhelming coverage of fired Republican staffer Elizabeth Lauten, who posted criticism of President Obama's daughters on Facebook. The Washington Free Beacon documented the media frenzy over Lauten.
