Title cut off in subject line, full title: Lawmaker won’t meet high school Dems, says they might accuse her of sexual assault like Roy Moore

After being widely criticized for mocking members of a student group that wanted nothing more but to meet with her, Minnesota Rep. Mary Franson (R) responded with a private Facebook post suggesting she was worried about becoming the next Roy Moore.

“A man’s life was destroyed in AL,” Franson wrote, alluding to Moore. “40 years ago he met with minors alone and they recently accused him of horrendous actions. In the world of we must believe every sexual harassment claim, I would think my approach is beyond reasonable. All it takes is one perceived action and my life is destroyed. The life of my family is destroyed. That is a risk I will not take.”

Jack Ballou, the 17-year-old founder of the student group Franson refused to meet with — Alexandria Area High School (AAHS) Democrats — has been blocked by Franson. Told of her Facebook post, Ballou told ThinkProgress that he’s “shocked.”

“If any of what she said was true, she could have just told us initially that she doesn’t meet with minors,” Ballou said. “I’m also so confused how she started defending Roy Moore… last year I met with Mary through the student page program, one on one at her office. She had no issue then.”
