Candidate For US Senate Faces Sex Charge
2012-06-21
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate is charged with solicitation of a minor and his case has been bound over to a grand jury.

Authorities said the alleged incident occurred in May 2011, when a 7-year-old girl riding her bike in front of the Johnson City apartment of Thomas K. Owens was invited inside.

The 36-year-old then allegedly hugged the girl, unzipped his pants, and asked her to perform a sex act. The girl ran home and told her mother, who notified police.

Owens told investigators the girl had been in his apartment. As for the allegation, he stated: "I have a problem with that," but did not elaborate.

#4  Wow, didn't have to play guess that party.

Race, on the other hand.......

Anyone want to bet on this "person's" race being included if he was white?

#3  To quote Will Rogers: "During rollcall, members of Congress aren't sure whether to say 'Present' or 'Not Guilty'!"

#2  Seems he already had a lot of the prerequisites for working as a member of Congress.

#1  Owens should move to Texas and try this again. Should solve at least two immediate problems.
