The Kansas Republican Party reported today that a sexual deviant played a prominent role in a new television ad for Paul Davis, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate.
The Kansas Republican Party today became aware that the actor in the Paul Davis campaign ad was once arrested for soliciting sodomy in a Topeka park. Additionally, he was banned from the Boy Scouts of America because they became aware that he was "suspended from his teaching position at Seaman High School for inappropriate conduct with a male foreign exchange student."
According to records, Jeff J. Montague was arrested by Topeka Police on Oct. 3, 2007, as part of a prostitution sting operation.
Montague appears in a new Davis campaign ad where he uses a theatrical voice in attempt to dispel claims about Davis. At the end Paul Davis states directly to Mr. Montague "Thanks Jeff. You're not so bad yourself."
"The use of an actor with this sort of background raises serious questions about Paul Davis' judgment and what kind of people he would surround himself with if elected," said Clay Barker, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party.
"Sex crimes, particularly those with children and students, are a serious matter and associating a campaign with someone of this background raises doubts about Paul Davis' fitness for office. Paul Davis should remove the ad immediately and apologize to all Kansans."
The records for the arrest can be found here. The records for the Boy Scout investigation can be found here (part I) and here (part II).
