David Dickerson, a Democratic candidate for one of the two Maryland Senate seats, was arrested Saturday after police were called to a hospital where his wife claimed she was raped. Dickerson was charged with second-degree rape, second-degree assault and fourth-degree sex offense.
According to charging documents, the victim said she and her husband met in her home country of Latvia and married last year when she was 18. She told police that shortly after moving back to the United States, she was deprived of food and physically abused -- even after becoming pregnant.
There's not much more I can add to that. How on earth does someone like this get enough money and support to launch a Senate Campaign??
Well. At least this way he knows he won't be elected, as opposed to holding on to some vague belief he'd win Sarbanes' seat.
