Anti drag Texas GOP rep is accused of "inappropriate relationship" with intern [View all]
USA TODAY interviewed Texas State Rep. Bryan Slaton last year for our deep-dive investigation into an all-age drag show that was protected by rifle-wielding left-wing activists. Slaton told us he believes all-age drag shows are put on by perverted adults seeking to take advantage of children.
This week, Slaton was accused of having an "inappropriate relationship" with an intern who is under 21 years old.
The Slaton scandal was reported by the Texas Tribune, which obtained a copy of the complaint against Slaton. The lawmaker has not been formally charged with a crime.
Slaton allegedly invited the intern, who is under 21, to his Austin condo where the two drank alcohol, according to the complaint.
Two of Slaton's GOP colleagues appear to call on him to resign following the revelations. "I am absolutely furious at a Republican whom I believe to be a sexual predator," state Rep. Briscoe Cain, wrote on Twitter without naming Slaton. "Ive never been so ticked off at another legislator. He should resign now."
Slaton is a former youth pastor.
