4:34Now PlayingA Virginia Mayor was recently arrested in a drugs-for-sex police sting. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Kenny Hamilton, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The mayor of Fairfax City, Virginia, a suburb of Washington D.C., has been arrested on suspicion of providing methamphetamine for sex, police said on Friday.
Mayor Richard “Scott” Silverthorne, 50, has been charged with felony distribution of methamphetamine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, Fairfax County Police Captain Jack Hardin told a news conference.
“The reason this investigation started was because of an allegation of him supplying methamphetamine in exchange for sex,” Hardin said.
Fairfax County police began investigating Silverthorne late last month when they received a tip from a citizen who said the mayor was distributing meth through a website used to arrange sex between men, Hardin said.
An undercover detective created a fake profile on the site and was contacted by Silverthorne within two days, Hardin said. After exchanging texts, the detective agreed to meet with Silverthorne for group sex if he provided drugs, Hardin said.”*
