OK so call me a cynic but this occurred 12 years ago. The Democrats have protected him all this time. What did Senator Carroll refuse to play ball on? They don’t use their leverage without cause.
This thing is looking very, very messy. Apparently there’s an audio tape that does not confirm the “grope”, but DOES confirm the “propositions”, and convinced the Dems to can Carroll as their State Senate Whip.
Julian Carroll is a BIG deal in KY, and already has a major highway and the Paducah Convention Center named after him.
But, the bigger story is that somehow the whole thing got covered up. Was the accuser made to stay quiet? Why “go public” only now? Too many details are missing.
