Trial on sex charges starts for former Missouri lawmaker - “I woke up to my hand on his penis"


JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A teenage girl testified today that she thought she was experiencing a nightmare when she awoke one night to find a former St. Louis County lawmaker placing his penis on her hand.

The girl’s testimony came at the start of the trial of former Rep. Scott Muschany, 42, who is charged with felony deviate sexual assault and a misdemeanor of exposing his genitals to a minor.

Prosecutors contend that on May 17, after the final day of the 2008 legislative session, the married Republican lawmaker walked into the bedroom of the 14 year-old girl — the daughter of a mid-Missouri woman with whom he was having an affair — and rubbed his penis against the sleeping teen.

“I woke up to my hand on his penis,” the girl testified. The incident lasted only a couple of seconds, the girl said, and she initially thought “it was a nightmare.”

2. Sounds like he did more than expose himself -- there could be an assault charge there.

6. back in 2006, Muschany was a co-sponsor of legislation that toughened sex offender laws.

8. He's certainly spent some time thinking about school uniforms.
Looks like he was president of the board of directors for a Christian school before he got elected in Missouri. Scary.


A Discussion on School Uniforms
By T. Scott Muschany

Every Christian school at some time in its history must establish a standard of dress for its students. America’s ever growing cultural obsession with immodesty and vulgarity (which is often expressed in the clothing that children and young adults wear to school) has prompted many Christian schools to revisit the question of dress standards and review enforcement policies of those standards. This of course is being done to ensure that a standard of appropriate attire, once established, is maintained. Even secular and public schools agree that dress limits must be defined in order to maintain a level of decorum, acceptability, and modesty for minimizing distractions within the educational environment.

Beginning with this foundational acknowledgment, the leadership of a Christian school must first determine the best standards that not only serve the school’s mission, priorities and particular composition but, above all else, reflect what Scripture teaches on the subject. Ultimately that decision will result in one of two choices: an explicit dress code or a school uniform. This article will outline some of the reasons that a school may choose to utilize a uniform as opposed to a dress code to best serve the aforementioned purposes.

Scripture sets out a great number of principles that apply not only to one’s spiritual walk, but can be applied to personal appearance as well. Those principles include such concepts as modesty, humility, selflessness, discretion and submission. None of these principles can be used to emphatically make a case for uniforms, but neither do they preclude them. The uniform is one potential tool to help students (and parents) not only express these principles through their personal appearance but, more importantly, seal them in their hearts so that they rejoice in modesty, humility, selflessness, discretion and submission. There are a number of reasons that some schools may find uniforms to be a more effective tool toward these goals than a dress code. Several of those reasons are examined under the following two headings; clarity and purpose.



T. Scott Muschany is the President of the Board of Directors for Covenant Christian School. Covenant Christian School is a new pre-K and kindergarten school located at 2143 N. Ballas Rd. in St. Louis, which opened in the Fall of 2003. For more information about Covenant Christian School visit their web site at www.covenantstlouis.org.
