And that's a concern. And if the people of Missouri believe that this guy coerced a vulnerable adult woman into a sexual relationship (or for that matter, coerced any other adult person into any activity they might otherwise have rejected) they can run his hypocrite lame ass out of the Missouri state legislature. But it's Missouri, which is almost Kansas, so who can say?

So in other words the bit in the marriage ceremony where they say;

"take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity"

. . .it is just a few meaningless words? Who knew?



Not a crime but a civil offense called adultery and can get you divorced in a hurry.

Yes a legitimate one since those in a position of power can wield extraordinary
pressure... especially when an intern is so low on the totem pole.

Anyone can be blackmailed for about anything. It's simply not a direct cause/effect.
