An Edwardsville City Council member is a registered sex offender in the State of Wisconsin, according to information revealed this week.
But Councilman Patrick Isenhour said his 1992 criminal conviction for having sex with a minor was a mistake he made as a young man that should have no bearing on how he does his job today. And although Isenhour was not planning to run for re-election when his second term comes to an end, he now says he will run because of the revelations made this week.
Isenhour, 38, was convicted in January 1992 in Waukesha County, Wis., for “second degree sexual assault of a child.” He didn’t serve any jail time for the conviction, but he was placed in a work release for six months and served two years’ probation.
On Thursday, Isenhour told the Kansan the conviction was the result of a consensual act between him and a 15-year-old girl who told him she was “18 or 19.” At the time, Isenhour was 21.
“When I was younger, I lived in Wisconsin,” Isenhour said.“I worked at a gas station, and there was a girl who came to the gas station every day. I assumed, and she told me, she was 18 or 19.”
One day, Isenhour said,“She invited me to her house while her parents were out of town.”
Isenhour said the girl’s mother found out about the incident and pressed charges; Isenhour didn’t know the girl was underage until he was charged.

this is beyond juvineille.
why is this relevant to anything he does now?
I think people are way too consumed in breaking others down, that they don't stop to think how it will affect a person's home life.
