Text messages reveal GOP official conspired with his girlfriend to drug and assault woman: police

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/10/text-messages-reveal-gop-official-conspired-girlfriend-drug-assault-woman-police
A former GOP official allegedly conspired with his girlfriend to get a woman drunk and take nude photographs of her when she passed out, reports the Patch.

44-year-old Lawrence Jay Weinstein and his girlfriend shared texts plotting how to spike a woman’s wine with hard alcohol, before getting her back to his home, where he’d installed a web cam.

“Don’t let her go to the bathroom until she gets back to your place,” Weinstein told his girlfriend in a message, according to the DA’s office.

“Keep sober so you can make it happen and aren’t too drunk to win,” he texted, as his girlfriend shared dinner with the woman in a Mexican restaurant.

While investigating the November incident, county detectives say they found photos on an iPad showing Weinstein sexually assaulting a woman in late 2012 while she was unconscious. That woman told investigators she was not aware anything had happened and that she did not consent to Weinstein touching her or taking photographs, prosecutors said.

I hate what Raw Story has been doing and I think they should be banned here.
