I think an 18 year-old became mayor of a town in Michigan a few years ago. edit: yep Sessions plead no contest on July 2, 2007 to malicious annoyance by writing, a misdemeanor, in which he wrote an email, under a false name, to his former campaign manager's mother accusing his campaign manager of drinking and running around with women.[4][5] In return for the plea, prosecutors dropped a more serious felony charge:[6] that Sessions had illegally accessed his campaign manager's MySpace and America Online accounts to delete his lists of personal contacts with their addresses and phone numbers. As part of his plea, Sessions agreed to a sentence of 40 hours community service and paying $850 in restitution to the victim.[7][8] Sessions has stated that he will not resign.[9][10] The recall election process was started against him on July 9th 2007, with a hearing date on the language of July 25th, 2007.[11] If approved, recall petitioners would have had up to 180 days to collect 522 signatures from registered Hillsdale voters. The recall petitioner offered a prepared apology statement at a July 16th, 2007 public meeting, and indicated that if the mayor read the statement out loud or words to its effect, he would rescind the recall.[12] The recall language was rejected in a vote of 2-1 by the Election Commission on July 25th, 2007. The petitioner then submitted revised language on July 26th, 2007. Sessions went on the local radio station WCSR on July 27th, 2007 in which he spoke about the incident and offered an additional apology. The petitioner then withdrew the recall petition. [13] On July 27th, 2007, Sessions indicated court papers were signed that expunged this matter from his court record.[14] However, it is unclear whether this is so, as Michigan law states that this may not take place until five years have passed since the conviction. [15] He also already has cancer. |
