Woolsey apologizes Rep. Lynn Woolsey, California Democrat, has apologized for seeking a lenient sentence for a convicted rapist who is the son of one of her staffers. Mrs. Woolsey "quickly apologized after a Marin County newspaper reported she intervened on behalf of Stewart Pearson, who pleaded guilty last fall to raping a 17-year-old Terra Linda girl and covering her face with a rag soaked in household chemicals in an attempt to incapacitate her," the Santa Rosa (Calif.) Press Democrat reported Wednesday. "Pearson, 20, had volunteered on Woolsey's campaign and is the son of an employee in the congresswoman's San Rafael office," the newspaper said. "Stewart Pearson is a young man from a supportive family," Mrs. Woolsey wrote in a Dec. 2 letter on congressional stationery to Marin County Superior Court Judge Terrence Boren one month before Pearson was sentenced. "I believe he has a promising life ahead of him, and I urge you to consider these factors when deciding upon a suitable sentence." Pearson pleaded guilty to rape in September, according to the Press Democrat, which reported that the judge sentenced Pearson in January to eight years in state prison, the maximum allowed under law.
