    I'll take "October Surprise" for $1,000, Alex.

    With a week to go before the Mayoral election, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett is on the receiving end of a lawsuit alleging sexual battery and harassment.


    The plaintiff, long-time Central Indiana perennial candidate Bobby Kern filed the civil rights suit in federal court alleging that Hogsett, when he was Secretary of State, sexually assaulted him a motel.



    In his complaint, Kern says he met Hogsett at several political events in late 1989 and early 1990 and at the time Hosgett promised to introduce to several prominent Democrats.



    Kern’s complaint says Hogsett took him to a hotel, under the guise of meeting other Democrats, but instead held him down and sexually assaulted him.



    Kern also alleges that when he tried to file a complaint about the incident he was threatened with retaliation by Hogsett and then Indiana Governor Evan Bayh.



    The complaint asks for $1 million in compensatory damages and $4 million in punitive damages.



    A spokesperson for Mayor Hogsett said they had no comment on the lawsuit at this time.



    A copy of the complaint can be found here.

    Yeesh... Again, why wait almost 30 years to file this? And if Hogsett could "hold him down", how big a wimp was HE? I won't be voting for Hogsett, but not because of this.

    It's funny when the Democrats eat each other (politically), but methinks the timing is a little too convenient whether it happened or not.

    If it happened, it will be interesting to see how Hogsett and his handlers spin it and whether or not they admit that he's gay.

    It must come as quite a surprise to his wife. I mean, she put up with his stinky sneakers but this might be a bridge too far...

    I heard this on WIBC about an hour ago but couldn’t post while driving. Politics is filthy dirty nasty business. Seems rather convenient to be brought up now.

    Yeah, I have no doubt that it's strictly politically motivated. The guy claims he tried to complain when Evan Bayh was in office. How long has that been again? Again, I have no desire to vote for Hogsett, but I think there needs to be some kind of statute of limitations on this crap for both sides. Digging up dirt from 30 years ago (like with Kavanaugh) is total BS. Make the charge when it happens or STFU.

    Not to start off on the wrong path or be too snarky but my Gaydar has always gone off about him. Just me...???

    I could give a care as to what who and where he is about in his personal life. I dont like him as a political leader. He was a terrible prosecutor and is a terrible mayor as well.

    My 8th grade educated grandfather told me before I voted the first time, remember this boy, nothing happens in politics that wasn't planned..Nothing.

    This won't cost Hogsett the election. It's too suspect with the timing.

    Even if it did happen, I'm not so sure the metoo crowd cares much about gays? Maybe I'm wrong? :dunno:

    One way or another, we all know how the news media will treat the dem, right?

    Even if this is true, he waited too long.

    Timing. It is everything.
    Stinky shoes waited until re-election time to fix the streets and sped those tax dollars they have been banking for a couple of years. Makes him look great to many folks. He still sucks.

    Wait.....what.............:):

    If hes gay, she is well aware of it. To divorce him would be a huge lifestyle change for her.

    Never happened and doubt Hogsett is gay. Likely 100% fabrication. Bobby likes attention.
