Let's talk about Eric Swalwell, the California congressman who is recently the subject of an intense sex crime investigation. I believe that five women have provided evidence to the police recently. Last week, Swalwell was the leading candidate in the California governor's race. Now, he has resigned from Congress and has dropped out of the race. How quickly we fall from grace.
I would remind everyone that he is accorded the same presumption as any other accused. He is presumed innocent until convicted in a competent court.
I would also remind everyone that I worked with sex offenders during the 1990s Everything I have heard this far fits a standard pattern. Sex offenders are always serial offenders. If someone is convicted of only one offense, it is because the prosecutors can only prove one offense. This far Swalwell has five accusers.
But, he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
