View Full Version : Young GOP leader accused in gay sex crime

OMG! I can't stop laughing. Ah- Republicans just make me giggle. :)

On July 7, after a six-month campaign, 33-year-old Glenn Murphy was elected chairman of the venerable Young Republican National Foundation.

Last week, however, Murphy resigned in a strange email, explaining that a "life-altering" business deal had arisen, and after praying with his family he had decided to pursue this new opportunity. For some reason, Murphy could no longer represent a political party, a "gut-wrenching dilemma" that forced him to step down from his new office.

In fact, as bloggers soon made public, Murphy had been accused of criminal deviate conduct, a class B felony, after attempting to have sex with a sleeping man July 29.

According to a police report from Clark County, Indiana, Murphy, the victim and the victim's sister had been drinking at a Young Republican party the previous night. The revelers wound up at the sister's home, where Murphy got into a top bunk bed and the victim took the bottom.

Sometime that morning, the victim awoke to find Murphy, in his words, "holding my dick with one hand and sucking my dick with his mouth," police records state. The man kicked Murphy off and left the house.

Later that day, Murphy called the victim to explain that he had found himself lying on the floor beside the man's bunk. The victim, Murphy said, had fondled Murphy's hair in his sleep, so Murphy took this gesture as a green light for further intimacy. Unconvinced by this scenario, and unmoved by Murphy's pleadings, the man filed a complaint.

This was apparently not the first time Murphy had been unable to control his attraction to unconscious men. Another Clark County police report described an incident in 1998 in which Murphy crawled under the covers of a sleeping acquaintance "and was committing the act of oral sex when (the victim) awoke." The victim's girlfriend, who was in the same room at the time, heard her friend yell and observed Murphy extracting himself from the bedclothes and leaving the room.

Evidently, the 1998 incident stayed under wraps, since Murphy went on to become the county leader of the Young Republicans later that year. According to the local press, he served two terms as the head of the Indiana Young Republicans, and has been the Clark County GOP chairman since 2001.

The national group, an organization of Republicans aged 18 to 40, was founded in 1931.

After his election last month, Murphy said he hoped to double the organization's membership by November 2008.

"I will essentially be the mouthpiece and effective leader for tens of thousands of Young Republicans, 18 to 40, across the country," he said.

All references to Murphy have now been erased from the Young Republican Web site.

I'm just going to post "me thinks thou doth protest too much" like I always do. At this point it's just becoming a given. It would be sad if they didn't bring it on themselves.

Waiting for the "Clinton did it too" defense.

To steal a line from The Daily Show, Murphy could've easily explained it away by just saying he's bulimic and he doesn't like sticking his finger down his throat.:D

I wonder why this is not considered rape? Criminal deviate conduct does not sound like it is appropriate to the crime.

Hmm...hadn't thought of that. It should be considered rape, you're right. It's no different.

IIRC rape includes penetration into the victim. This should at least be categorized as sexual assualt.

Ah-I guess that makes sense.

i'm still laughing from that line....

but really, this is like a gift wrapped in gold given to us by Dick Chaney. I'm sure Karl Rove is behind this, hence his resignation. :D

I think it's contagious - the only republican state rep I liked and voted for was caught propositioning an undercover officer in a public park restroom, wanted to pay for some love juice... and then by denying his intentions upon arrest, has made a total ass of himself by slandering blacks, cubans, and people who have already decided his guilt based on the evidence without awaiting his trial to call for his resignation. Yeh, "He also sponsored legislation that toughened penalties for lewd or lascivious conduct and created a new provision that allows some sexual predators to receive life prison sentences for their offenses. Allen had dubbed the bill the "Sexual Predator Elimination Act."

just the beginning of his troubles. (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/state/orl-allen1307jul13,0,5667267.story):rolleyes:

They're all liars, no party affiliation needed.:cool:

Just posted something in the Rove thread about his adoptive Father being gay. Proves the point of what self loathing can do to closet cases. Even if it's not even you, it's a loved one.

I'm thinking in his case it was more about power and votes though, but still...

Well, we all know now how to get to the top!

Part of me knows why this is illegal. But if it was a woman, would it still be.

Would a gay man have a woman arrested for doing the same to him?

Oh you. ;) Now, now- sexual abuse is sexual abuse, no matter who's doing it. I certainly never said this guy shouldn't be prosecuted. If a woman did the same thing to a gay man, he absolutely should be able to bring her up on charges.

I was just saying if it was me that had that happen to me, I wouldn't call the cops. But I would be a little freaked out.

I went to camp, weird stuff sometimes happens;)

There are plenty gay republicans, this one is just a bit of a drunk horn dog who got the wrong signals...... And he might have a thing for blowing dudes while they sleep. This is the type of the diversity the party needs:D

I probably wouldn't press charges either, but I think it depends on the situation.
