Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) paid womans travel to Texas & Washington for sex

[egbertowillies]

Congressman Joe Barton's scandal gets even deeper. Earlier on Wednesday, the Congressman apologized after his lewd photos and text to a woman was revealed. By Wednesday night the Washington post had the full story including a recording of the Congressman admitting to various indiscretions as well as threatening the woman he slept with twice. This fiasco is only an issue because this sect of Republicans purports to be the moral police yet like Roy Moore, they are hypocrites.

1. Is the Mann Act still in effect?

2. Yes and no.

The Mann Act is still in effect, but it was amended during the 70s so that it only applies to the transport of a person for purposes of "any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense."

3. This one is getting a little ridiculous

I have bought a plane ticket for a girlfriend to come visit me on a weekend if I was working some place neat for an extended time.

The capitol police and Texas authorities are now investigating to see if revenge porn laws are applicable in this situation, the woman may be in some legal trouble for distributing it.
