Greg Stephens
Claims to fame: Retired EMT; self-proclaimed “Mayor” of Maltby, Washington; vice president, Maltby Neighborhood Alliance; president, Little Bear Creek Protective Association; member, Highway 2 Safety Coalition; one of three Republicans running for Snohomish County Council, 2009; husband; divorcé; indecent-liberty taker; convicted felon; liar by omission; schmuck
Moral apex: Suddenly dropped out of 2009 Snohomish County Council race, citing “health reasons” (as if anybody would withdraw from a political campaign over a measly broken wrist) — when the truth was that a 1983 felony conviction for “indecent liberties” with a nine-year-old girl had come to light during a background check.
What kind of “indecent liberties”? We don’t know (yet), which is why we don’t just come out and call him a “child molester.”
The details we do know come from HeraldNet, August 8, 2009:
Long before he decided to run for Snohomish County Council, Greg Stephens was involved in a divorce, called a camper home and pleaded guilty to taking indecent liberties with a 9-year-old girl. …
Larry Craig “I didn’t do it, but I’m pleading guilty anyway” defense: He thought (he said) that by pleading guilty and accepting a deferred sentence that “once he successfully completed it [his sentence], the guilty plea would be withdrawn, the charges dismissed and the case stricken from the record.” He was wrong.
Gee, maybe ya shoulda looked at the fine print a little more closely, Greggy! Better yet, maybe ya shouldn’ta been messing around with little girls in the first place!
Who Stephens reminds us of: Fellow Conservative Babylonian and scumbag extraordinaire Richard Gardner, 2002 Republican candidate for Nevada state assembly.
Suggested Bible reading for Mr. Stephens:
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
— Psalm 69:5,8
