COLUMBIA, Mo. —
Missouri House leaders on Tuesday said they told law enforcement officials that they're concerned a resigning lawmaker accused of sexually and physically abusing his children years ago may pose a risk to other kids.

House Speaker Rob Vescovo and the leader of the House Ethics Committee in a joint statement said fellow Republican Rep. Rick Roeber's “heinous actions make him not only unfit for office, but should also make him the subject of a thorough investigation by law enforcement."

Roeber submitted a letter of resignation Tuesday signaling that his last day will be Friday. He did not mention the allegations against him.

“With his resignation today, we take an important step to protect the integrity of the House as an institution, but it’s far more important that we do all we can to seek justice for his children and to ensure he never again causes harm to another child,” House leaders wrote. “His resignation allows him to walk away from his duties as a representative, but we cannot allow him to once again walk away from the children he victimized.”

More at link, including that accused stated in resignation he needed to move out of state to be closer to family. Wth would want this guy near them?

Seems pedo is a real qpuke pattern. Is it the same cruel tendency to starve people & deprive others of healthcare that catalyzes child sexual abuse?
