Wisconsin lawmaker cited for sexual misconduct

Associated Press madison.com | Posted: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 12:10 am


OSHKOSH — State Rep. Gordon Hintz says he is willing to take responsibility for his actions after he was cited this month for sexual misconduct. Records say the Oshkosh Democrat was arrested Feb. 10. The 37-year-old was accused of violating a City of Appleton ordinance of touching or offering to touch sexual parts.

In a statement e-mailed to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Hintz says, "I am willing to take responsibility for my actions." But he says he is concerned his "personal situation is distracting from the much more important issue facing the state." Thousands of demonstrators are protesting daily at the Wisconsin state Capitol over a budget repair bill.

Appleton police say the citation was issued in conjunction with an ongoing investigation of Heavenly Touch Massage Parlor in Appleton. Messages left with Hintz's office and home were not immediately returned.

Court records show that Hintz posted a $2,667.50 bond. The Oshkosh Northwestern says Hintz is scheduled to appear before an Outagamie County court commissioner April 27.

1. This Is A Non-Story

More poutrage over damn little in my view. So what?! The man got a massage...

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. This is the rep who ranted so eloquently on the floor of the state house last week

But I'm sure these charges are merely coincidental. :eyes:

[SoCalDem]

3. I bet the Koch brothers are employiing every private detective in the state

:grr:

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. Well selfishly,

anything that keeps them out of Kansas works for me. :hide:

[SoCalDem]

5. They have plenty of money

They will find a way to mess with every state with republican power:(

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. We're gearing up here on their home turf

Ready for them.

7. The charges preceded this storm....

He was cited February 10th. This all blew up February 11th when Walker 1st announced his attack on the working class of WI. Timing is unfortunate but no apparent conspiracy here.

6. This is nothing less than a setup...

10. except that he admitted to it

:(

[Dappleganger]

14. Didn't say he didn't do it...

entrapment, anyone?

[NuclearDem]

15. Then how is it a setup?

[Dappleganger]

23. I already posted a link to my thread...

it's up to you to read it and decide for yourself.

8. Democrat gets in trouble for massage parlor visit...KOCH BROTHERS CONSPIRACY!!!!!!

Can't imagine what would've happened if this was a Wisconsin Republican....

[Angry Dragon]

9. A Wisconsin republican would have been wearing a diaper

or had a mistress on the side

[NuclearDem]

11. Exactly...

DU would be up in arms demanding his resignation or prison time.

Meanwhile, a Dem fuels an industry dedicated to sex slavery, and it's written off by DU as a RW conspiracy. :puke:

[PVnRT]

19. No, a Republican would fly to Bangkok on a "fact-finding" mission

and had a 12-year-old boy snatched from his parents and sold to a massage parlor do it.

[SoCalDem]

12. If you don't think there are people digging for as much dirt as possible on these UNION-sympathizers

you may be a bit naive. The same people who are paying for Walker and his henchmen have unlimited funds at hand, and are perfectly willing to dig to China if necessary , to find anything they can to discredit their opponents.

That said, these charges were in the works for a while, no doubt, and the fact that he's a D rather than an R, only matters in the context of the bigger battle at hand.

I don't think the Koch brothers delivered him to the massage parlor, but the timing of the charges/appearance in the papers to coincide with the protests?..well it's a bit convenient.

That said, I sure wish legislators would get their
"massages" at home..I'm more than a bit tired of having to hear about their "sexy-time"..:rofl:

[NuclearDem]

13. He discredited himself by visiting the massage parlor

If they dug deep into his personal history and found some unpaid parking tickets or something insignificant, I'd agree with you.

The man allegedly visited a massage parlor, the type of place that fuels sexual slavery. If he didn't want to be discredited, he shouldn't have fucking done it. Why does he get a pass on it because he sympathizes with unions?

[Dappleganger]

16. Do you know for a fact that that parlor

favors "sexual slavery"? You may not approve of where he gets his thrills but he's not a family man or telling anyone else what to do with their personal lives.

[NuclearDem]

18. Oh, and girls work at massage parlors because they LIKE being paid to touch guys' junk?

I disapprove of where he gets his thrills because it's humiliating to the women involved and it psychologically damages them. I'm not giving this guy a pass just because he isn't being hypocritical on family values.

[SoCalDem]

17. I don't disagree with you... I think these guys are stupid and selfish

They dash the hopes of everyone who donated to their campaigns and make life miserable for their families.. they deserve to be publicly humiliated.

The unpaid tickets thing you mentioned, would never be capitalized on though, since many people have traffic related issues in their lives.. dirt diggers look for and find , lewd, dirty stuff..

I approve of exposing these creeps..

There will probably be more of it too..

Of course the Koch's are probably not as eagerly searching the "R" side of things:)

This is where Dems get smoked.. we usually don't resort to this sort of thing (as a whole), so the R's have to end up exposing themselves..which many do, :evilgrin:

[NuclearDem]

20. Fair enough, I agree

You do make a good point. :)

[Initech]

22. So a congressman got a happy ending... big deal. Can we get back to real corruption please?
