An Alabama lawyer and former state senator has been accused of groping and sexually assaulting an incarcerated woman and trying to coerce her into being his "sex slave," according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday. The lawsuit accuses Douglass "Doug" Ghee of sexual assault, battery, extortion, intentional inflicting of emotional distress, false imprisonment and wantonness. Ghee's law firm, Ghee, Draper and Alexander, is also named in the complaint. The lawsuit said that Ghee, 78, met with a 29-year-old woman in July as a public defender while she was incarcerated at the Calhoun County Jail, in the eastern part of the state. During the meeting, Ghee allegedly promised to use his friendship with the judge and assistant district attorney on her case to help her get a better deal, as long as she agreed to be his "sex slave" and pay him $2,500.

MFA: "The meeting took place in a room designated for attorneys to meet with clients, the suit said. The woman was handcuffed and shackled the whole time, and there was a live video feed for a corrections officer to monitor the situation.

"After the initial meeting, Ghee sent $30 to the woman's jail account, the lawsuit said."

Has the Republican Party simply become a cover story to hide all of white men's weird sexual proclivities? I mean, everyone from Matt Gaetz to the wrestling coach to the fundie priests to Opus Dei [feel free to complete your own list].

Sexual assault is not a partisan crime and Doug Ghee was a Democrat when he served in the Alabama senate.
