ST. LOUIS — A woman running for a seat in the Missouri Legislature has accused a fellow Democratic candidate of raping her. Both are running unopposed. She says she told her husband what had happened the next day, but it was several weeks before they went to the police. The Post-Dispatch reports that “two highly placed law enforcement sources” confirmed that there is an active investigation into Walker’s allegations against Roberts. His attorney, Scott Rosenblum, told The Associated Press on Saturday that the allegations are unfounded and “whatever happened” was consensual.
