Days after winning elected office, a Republican politician in Indiana pleaded guilty to trying to sexually assault a woman in Las Vegas and now must resign his position. John Jessup, commissioner of Hancock, Indiana, is at the center of one of the more bizarre tales to emerge from the down-ballot 5 November elections across the US. Multiple witnesses allegedly told authorities that Jessup got the woman intoxicated by constantly "feeding" her Long Island iced teas. Purportedly, as Jessup repeatedly said the famous slogan "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," she became so intoxicated that she needed a wheelchair to get back to her hotel room.
