NH Rep. Kyle Tasker (R-Figures) Arrested for Drug Possession And Intent To Sexually Assault A Minor

http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/03/02/disgusting-nh-rep-kyle-tasker-arrested-for-drug-possession-and-intent-to-sexually-assault-a-minor/

New Hampshire Republican representative Kyle Tasker has a history of questionable antics. In 2014, for example, he said that he should be allowed to join the Black caucus because he is “fond of rap music.” Now, Tasker’s actions have gone far enough that he is finally facing legitimate consequences. The 30 year-old representative is now behind bars for possessing drugs and arranging a meeting with a 14 year-old girl, reports Union Leader’s Jason Schreiber.

Tasker is specifically charged with using Facebook Messenger to arrange a meeting with a 14 year-old girl, with the intent to commit aggravated felonious sexual assault. According to NECN, Tasker told the girl, “This is how guys my age get into trouble.” Additionally, he offered drugs, asked for sexual favors, and sent her pornographic videos. Some of the offers and messages were even sent during State House committee meetings.

According to prosecutor Stephanie Ilberg-Lamm, the investigation into Kyle Tasker’s behavior began in late January, after Nottingham police were notified that Tasker had allegedly sexually harassed a young female. The police then formulated a plan, where an officer posed as a 14 year-old girl and made arrangements with Tasker online to meet in person. As Nottingham Police Chief Gunnar Foss said, “If you go after children, we’ll be knocking on your door – it’s that simple.”

When the officer arrived at the agreed upon meeting place, Tasker was present and armed with a loaded gun. He was arrested on the spot. Later, in a thorough search of his home, it was discovered that, along with loaded weapons throughout the house and in his vehicle, he was in possession of marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and the drug Soboxone — a drug used to treat opiate addiction. The drugs were packaged and labeled, clearly indicating Tasker’s intent to sell.

...chit like this but, I'm sorry, I just can't comprehend the 14-year appeal.

When I was 12, definitely. 14 years olds knew it all.
When I was 14, sure. Who else you going to take to the eighth grade dance.
When I was 15, not so much. They were soooooo "last year".
When I was 16, no f'ing way. Time to start learning what the 18 year olds know.

But 30...just WTF are they thinking. I don't care if she's "built" like Jessica Rabbit at a wet t-shirt contest, WTF are these guys thinking. There is no f'ing excuse. None.


Sorry - just had to rant on this one. It goes beyond the expected (and unfortunately accepted) R hypocrisy we usually see (IMHO).

That makes it okay since it wasn't gay.

I imagine that Tasker will beg God's forgiveness and will ask the press to respect his family's privacy during this difficult time.

No wonder he was against legalization: Didn't want any competition which might lower prices. Foul little pudgy boy.

I tried something like that and it was a couple of characters too long. Wonder why there's an arbitrary cap on the length of a thread title?
