Young Republican Claims Oral Sex He Performed On Sleeping Man Was Consensual

Glenn Murphy resigned from the Young Republicans because he was caught giving oral sex to a man. He was caught when the man woke up. But now Glenn Murphy has an excuse. . .

Let's see, the guy wakes up and finds Glenn Murphy sexually assaulting him with his lips. Let's remember a similar incident happened in 1988. So, I figure Murphy's defense is going to involve the usual Republican whiny excuses, that he's got an alcohol problem, or was sexually abused as a youngster. Nope, Glenn Murphy is actually going to complain that his accuser consented to the sexual activity. From RawStory:

Later, Murphy's attorney, Larry O. Wilder, issued a statement to Taking Down Words acknowledging a sexual encounter between his client and the complainant, claiming it was consensual. On behalf of Murphy, Wilder wrote, in part:

On behalf of Mr. Murphy I would point out several things:

1. Mr. Murphy has not been arrested nor has he been charged with a crime.

2. Mr. Murphy contends that the events that took place that evening were as between two consenting adults.
