So why is Bedford County District Attorney William Higgins in my list of reliogiotwats gone bad? Well he is the idiot on a moral crusade, who charged
a 14 y/o PA lad, with desecration in 2014. (paywall) He also, he
made a Facebook post decrying the ACLU and other groups who were asking him to be lenient.
“I guess I should take solace in the fact that the
liberals are mad at me — again,” Higgins said Thursday on his Facebook
page. “As for this case, this troubled young man offended the
sensibilities and morals of OUR community. … His actions constitute a
violation of the law, and he will be prosecuted accordingly. If that
tends to upset the ‘anti-Christian, ban-school-prayer, war-on-Christmas,
oppose-display-of-Ten-Commandments’ crowd, I make no apologies.”
Well it seems Mr Higgins has a thing,
for sex, not with his wife.
Bedford County District Attorney William Higgins resigned Wednesday
after he was charged with abusing his power by allegedly giving several
women convicted of crimes leniency in exchange for sexual favors, the
state Attorney General’s office said.
Mr. Higgins, 43, a Republican who has served Bedford County since
2004, faces charges recommended by a grand jury after a yearslong
investigation. He turned himself in to authorities Wednesday morning and
waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
The attorney general’s office charged Mr. Higgins with obstructing
administration of law or other governmental function, official
oppression, recklessly endangering another person, intimidation of
witnesses or victims and hindering apprehension or prosecution.
