Constitution Party Candidate Indicted On Sex Charges With A Minor

A Tea Party favorite for the U.S. Senate in Ohio has just been indicted by a grand jury for unlawful conduct with a minor:

A New Lebanon man, running for a U.S. Senate seat in Ohio, has been indicted by a Montgomery County grand jury on sex charges.

Eric Deaton was indicted on one count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. He is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old girl between March 2006 and March 2007.

Perry Township police said Deaton met the victim at a church where Deaton served as an elder.

Deaton, who is due in court September 14, faces up to 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted. This isn�t stopping Deaton though. He�s staying in the race and insisting that this is some big political setup:

�I think this is politically motivated,� said Deaton, blaming the indictment on his decision to run for political office.

�The powers that be don�t like that,� said Deaton, who said he intends to stay in the race.

Deaton has been pretty much an unknown in Ohio politics, well that is until now. He has only received a handful of endorsements, but one of those endorsements really sticks out:

Vote Family Values

Perhaps it�s just a day of major irony, but looking at the front page for Vote Family Values, I couldn�t help but notice one of their top news stories:

�Christian Teens and Hands-On Politics�? It sure sounds like Deaton took that way to literally.
