Another Lawmaker Urged to Resign: Minnesota Dem. Allegedly Solicits Sex With 17-Year-Old Boy at Rest Stop

“We‘ve got to keep in mind the bigger picture and we’ve got to move forward, we can’t just sweep it under the rug and hope it goes away.”

You might think these words came from the mouth of someone like, say, Rep. Todd Akin’s campaign manager, following the explosion of bipartisan contempt for Mr. Akin. The “it” being swept under the rug would, of course, be Mr. Akin’s widely discredited comments on rape.

However, if you thought that, you would be wrong. This sentence comes from a campaign operative in Minnesota, describing how difficult it is to run a campaign after what is, in many states, an act of solicitation at minimum and possibly even an attempt at statutory rape.

Meet Minnesota State Rep. Terry Gauthier.

Minnesota State Rep. Terry Gauthier Told to Resign After Oral Sex With 17 year old

Photo Credit: NY Daily News

Mr. Gauthier was, until recently, a minor Democratic State Representative in Minnesota with probably barely any name recognition outside his district. Now, Mr. Gauthier could be fixing to face 15 minutes of infamy.

You see, among his other pastimes, Mr. Gauthier likes to troll the popular website Craigslist, and not for used toasters, or futons, or any of the things most people use Craigslist for. No, Mr. Gauthier likes to troll Craigslist for sex. With young men. Or in this case, a 17-year-old boy.

And Mr. Gauthier apparently gets what he looks for, because he is now alleged to have engaged in oral sex with the unnamed 17-year-old in question, leading many to call his resignation, and even more to call on him to back out of his race for reelection:

Democratic Rep. Paul Thissen of Minneapolis, the House Minority Leader, said he was “deeply disappointed” in Gauthier’s conduct and wants him to step aside.

“As I shared with Rep. Gauthier, I believe he should withdraw from the race for re-election,” Thissen said in a statement released by his office.

Less than an hour later, state Democratic Party Chairman Ken Martin echoed Thissen’s comments and sought his withdrawal. Both Democrats stopped short of asking Gauthier to leave office before his term ends in January.

“His are actions inexcusable,” Martin said. “No one in our party condones what he did, nor will we defend him in this matter.”

According to police reports, Gauthier admitted to the act. The New York Daily News has more on what happened:

The first-term legislator wasn’t charged in the alleged July 22 encounter because the legal age of consent in Minnesota is 16 and no money was exchanged, according to the St. Louis County attorney’s office. Police say the two had oral sex behind a rest stop pavilion in Duluth after the teen responded to Gauthier’s Craigslist ad looking for a “no strings attached” sex.

Prior to this mistake, Gauthier’s reelection probably would have been a lock. He won 73 percent of the vote the last time he ran. However, there are some things no politician can live down. Granted, Gauthier hasn’t been arrested for the act, seeing as 17 is over Minnesota’s legal age of consent (16), but his behavior has still turned virtually all of Minnesota’s political establishment, left, right and center against him:

Everyone short of your local barista is calling for Gauthier to quit. At MPR, Dan Kraker writes: “Duluth City Councilman Jay Fosle and Duluth Assistant Fire Chief Erik Simonson both say they will run as write-in candidates to replace Gauthier. Gauthier has not said whether he will stay in the race. The head of the state GOP has called on him to resign, while DFL chair Ken Martin has asked Gauthier to not seek a second term.   Simonson said that it is tough to launch a campaign amid that backdrop. ‘But we‘ve got to keep in mind the bigger picture and we’ve got to move forward, we can’t just sweep it under the rug and hope it goes away,’ Simonson said.”

Heck, even the Strib editorial board wants him gone: “Solicitation for sex in a public place with a stranger, male or female, nearly 40 years one’s junior is conduct unbecoming an elected official. That’s why House leaders of both parties, GOP House Speaker Kurt Zellers called on Gauthier to step down, and DFL Minority Leader Paul Thissen urged him not to seek re-election. … One would have to be stone-hearted not to feel some sympathy for him. But this very week is when state assistance for his flood-ravaged district is taking shape at the Capitol. Gauthier’s inability to attend to the public’s business now is telling about his ability to serve effectively in the future. He should step down.”

Whether Gauthier will listen to these critics, or adopt Todd Akin’s “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead” approach is not clear yet.

      While this type of sexual activity should be beneath anyone, especially someone in a leadership position, and I believe it would be best for all of Rep. Gauthier resigned, I feel the attacks on him just because he is gay are uncalled for. Are you people suggesting that it is only homosexuals that engage in solicited sex? Also, Rep. Gauthier did not knowingly engage in this act with a minor. The boy told him that he was 18, as confessed by the boy and by Gauthier in their statements to the police.

      This guy has sex with a young boy (yes, even at 17, he is still a boy), out in the open at a public rest stop where. no doubt families stop at to use the restrooms. Imagine if children and their parents had decided to sit in the pavilion – no doubt they would have come across a very noisely, disgusting scene. Yes, this piece of crap, needs to go to jail. And I have no doubt that money DID exchange hands – why else would a 17 year old boy want to have oral sex with an old man. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get these sex perverts away from our children. They will never change, and will go on abusing children for the rest of their lives if given the chance.

      While legal, it’s morally wrong. Being immoral isn’t a crime. Although elected officials are suppose to be held to a higher standard, I don’t believe he should be forced to resign or be impeached. He will be removed by his constituents, come election time, if they believe his morality does not represent them as a whole.

      I don’t think we want to treat ephebophiles “as” harshly as pedophiles. However, that doesn’t mean that they could not be treated harshly.

      I think the law should beyond can’t have sex with someone 18 or younger unless you are in their age cohort. The age cohort being defined as within 3 or 4 years of their age. For the 18 year old they shouldn’t be allowed sex until they graduate highschool. What you do with a college freshman or sophmore & a highschool junior should be taken seriously but not as harshly as say a highschool junior or senior & say a 40 year old.

      Would you throw a 16 year old in jail for having sex with a 15 year old? If they stayed together throughout highschool would you throw them in jail if they were having sex 3 years later & only then got caught? What of the 16 year old was the female?

      Good thing neither of those situations happened. However, you might have heard about a senate candidate who claimed women could magically stop from getting pregnant when raped (if it was “legitimate”; otherwise they must have wanted it, right?). And in this article you might have read about a state rep who solicited age with a legally consenting minor without monetary exchange.

      The common ground? Neither of them has a place in politics. The difference? The second one should be in jail, but apparently Minnesota has some messed up consent laws.

      That said, you should probably try not to lie about either situation.

He was one sick little puppy who couldn’t get his life together even at 40 yr. old and that was 20 yrs. ago.

      Right, cause what Vitter did was actually illegal and he was only saved by the Statute of Limitations. Also while the Democrats in the state house are seeking this law maker to resign, with Vitter the GOP circled the wagons to protect the DC Madam’s favorite little john.

    Charles Wrangle, set a new presidence. He was reelected in 2010 after 13 ethics violations. What the hay ? Democrats want to push a **** agenda, so why not let Gauthier run….. why not ?

      Charles Wrangle’s ethics violations had absolutely nothing to do with anything of this nature. Soo…which one is the apple and which one is the orange?

    Get them ALL OUT~~~re-publican, democrat, independent. If they are sick (and MANY OF THEM ARE), they need to be home or in a hospital, not “at work”.

    I’m tired of paying for these dis-eased people, aren’t you?

    Conservative: Hey, that boy is someone’s son.
    Liberal: Hey, it’s just sex. The boy was born that way and the congressman was helping him reach his full potential.

      DEMOCRATS.ARE.EVIL are you channeling Obama’s school czar to show the utter pathos of the liberalism?

      Of course liberals think ancient Greek pedophilia & ephebophilia are normal.

      No, DEMOCRATS.ARE.EVIL is spot on. This looks like the same Democrat Hypocrisy we saw, when Gerry Studds of Massachusetts said give us our privacy.

    These supposed Representatives of the people, are an embarrassment to the United States of America. From the idiot V.P. to the Republican Senate Candidate and now this gay pervert, they all need to be run out of town and embarrassed to ever show their faces in public again. A lot more members of our government need to be brought down and put in their place permanently.

    Same as the Blaze story on the megachurch pastor who was sleeping with a 17-year old member of his church, this guy shouldn’t just be fired: he should be jailed. I really hope states like Indiana and Minnesota change their age of consent laws so that future pedophiles end up in prison.

      Could it be that the Almighty is systematically outing all these horrific crimes from behind closed doors? He doesn’t seem to care about the party affiliation of the offender either.

      Either that, or criminals are getting dumber. Or cops are getting smarter. Either way, good riddance to bad rubbish, and let’s try to avoid letting kids get abused in the future!
