Rep. David Wu has been accused of an “unwanted sexual encounter” with the teenage daughter of a longtime friend, the latest scandal to engulf the troubled Oregon Democrat.
The Oregonian reported that the 56-year-old Wu “acknowledged a sexual encounter to his senior aides but insisted it was consensual,” according to sources aware of the incident.

Wu is separated from his wife and the girl is 18, so its not a huge scandal if the sex was consensual. The real problem is the complete lack of evidence on what actually happened in regards to sexual assault. He was accused in 1976, but no legal action was taken. In the new accusation, it appears that once again there will be no charges. Sexual abuse is unfortunately one of the most difficult cases to handle, as victims have trouble reporting it and physical evidence provides little. On the other hand, its also unfair for the accused to be condemned without any proof.
Which part of “unwanted sexual encounter” could be consensual? Just about all rape is she said, he leaves DNA, he goes to jail.
Lock his stupid ass up.

If not consensual, I hope he gets the full punishment. I kind of worry that when politicians do stuff like this, they get away with easier than normal people or just get a slap on the wrists.
And this is bad.... how? I want to give the dude a high five! (given that she is legal of course)
So if a Dem makes unwanted sexual advances, it's A-OK with PeteEU and TGN? For shame gentleman.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. How dumb can we get. This guy should be in congress.
Everything you do is video recorded. And being famous then people are going to recognize you. Who doesn't know that by now. Isn't it time for another congressman to get caught on video by the way? The Weiner story had ridden off into the sunset so it is time for the next moron.
Wu has some very definite mental issues. He should have been forced out long ago.
David Wu is my Congressman, he will definitively have a primary challenger in 2012. I will more than likely vote for the challenger, if WU wins, I will hold my nose and vote for him.
Question: Why is your avatar a photo of a creepy clown head?
LOL, it's actually a 50's cookie jar of Pinky Lee. Pinky was a forunner and large influence to Pee Wee Herman.
Oh. Well..... that cookie jar scares the hell out of me! :lol:
So a democrat caught with his pants down... a big so what.. or is he one of those rare family values democrats promoting abstinence and the sanctity of marriage as one of his core beliefs? If so.. freaking hypocrite!.. if not... again so what...
So what? I'll tell you so what: it's a crime for an adult to engage in sexual activity--consesual, or not--with a minor.
In February 2011, Willamette Week[10] and later The Oregonian reported that in the runup to the November 2010 election, Wu began behaving erratically and that staffers "demanded he enter a hospital for psychiatric treatment."[11] The erratic behavior that triggered the staff's departure was reported to be no single incident but rather a pattern of behavior that included Wu's emailing his staff photos of himself in a tiger suit.[12]
