What was Kennedy actually CHARGED with? Or doesn't the sacred rule of law matter when you have "all the facts"? I have never thought Larry Craig should resign until the legal appeals and effort to rescind his pleas is settled. I don't think Vitter should resign either...but come on! The republican party seems to have some kind of dysfunctional "family values" closet problem. Here's the latest example: Sick! and Tragic! and yeah, he's a republican...all family values and holier than thou. --------------------------------- Florida City Councilman Commits Suicide Amid Sex Abuse Probe Saturday, September 08, 2007 E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A city councilman apparently committed suicide Friday, hours after he resigned amid allegations he sexually abused two teenage girls and a woman, authorities said. John Bryan, 56, was found by a reporter for the St. Petersburg Times, slumped in a golf cart in the garage of Floral City home he owned. Paramedics were called and pronounced Bryan dead, Citrus County Sheriff's spokeswoman Gail Tierney said.

Officers found a suicide note in the house, but Tierney said she did not know what it said. Bryan was being investigated for sexually abusing three females, said Ron Stuart, spokesman for the Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court. Earlier Friday, Bryan acknowledged in court a sexual relationship with a young woman, but he said it was consensual and she was 18, Stuart said. At the hearing, Bryan agreed not to have contact with the alleged teenage victims. "It is imperative for me to preserve what is of utmost importance to me, my family," Bryan wrote in the resignation letter he released hours before his death. Councilman Earnest Williams told The Associated Press on Friday evening that he was shocked by Bryan's passing. "I was very surprised and amazed," Williams said. "He was always willing to help out other folks. It's just a sad day for everyone involved." foxnews.com
