No big surprise — how else would she plead? Still, guess hubby Fulton Brock isn’t buying it, since he’s divorcing her.
Next court appearance: December 27, 2010, for an initial pretrial conference.
November 15, 2010:
New court documents from the Wisconsin Department of Justice show that one of the state’s witnesses against former District Attorney Kenneth Kratz was a woman who alleged that in 1999 she had a “sexual encounter” with Kratz at her home, while he was handling her domestic abuse case against her husband.There are reportedly five women who have accused Kratz of behaving inappropriately during his time as DA, including several women who claim he sent them sexually suggestive text messages. Another woman claimed Kratz invited her on a date to an autopsy.

Backstory: Susan Brock (R-Mormon Mommy, Ariz.), November 1, 2010
Looks like Fulton Brock does indeed believe the allegations are true — he’s divorcing his wife, Susan Brock, “charged with 15 sex-abuse counts over an alleged three-year series of sexual encounters with a boy.” Read the full (if short) story at the Arizona Republic.
No big surprise, this — but we do wonder if the devout and oh-so-”traditional” Mormon Mister will also petition for an official un-”sealing” by the LDS church, or if he’ll keep his “eternal marriage” to his wayward Missus for extra points toward polygamous righteousness in the “Celestial Kingdom”?
Because we could spend 24/7 tracking the sins of right-wing religionists (especially “youth pastors”) and never get caught up. Of the following, the more interesting cases will probably end up with their very own Conservative Babylon entries.
Resigned: Steven Belinski, pastor, Grace Lutheran Church, Reading, Pennsylvania, “amid allegations he engaged in an inappropriate sexual relationship” with a woman during the 1980s, while he was at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Allentown. “Belinski told synod leaders he has no recollection of the incident, but felt it best for everyone involved to resign.” Story: WFMZ, October 28, 2010

The recent election of Republican Herschel Young as commissioner of Cass County, Missouri, is being challenged, for the simple reason that Young is a convicted felon, and Missouri doesn’t allow felons to hold public office.
So, what did Young do? He punched a man in the face — because, he claimed, the man spat on Young’s wife. In 1995, he pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to a year’s probation.
This story is boring. Does it get better? Maybe not “better,” but it certainly gets much more interesting: Young is facing new charges (two counts of third-degree assault), stemming from an incident in which he allegedly threw a 14-year-old on the ground — after trying to kiss the boy.
Did you say…? Yes: “…after trying to kiss the boy.”

Arrested: Michael Charles Campbell, 46, pastor, House of Worship Church of God In Christ, DeLand, Florida, and charged with lewd and lascivious molestation and lewd and lascivious conduct with a 15-year-old girl. In 2007, Campbell “was working for a funeral home and driving a hearse with a body in it when he gave a 15-year-old girl a ride,” telling her “he wanted her to perform a ’skit’ that would help her get into modeling… They ended up at a motel, where police allege Campbell molested the girl for hours.” In a second incident, police say, Campbell picked up the girl at her home, telling her parents he wanted his victim to perform some work at the funeral home; they agreed, and Campbell “again took the child to another beachside motel, where he again molested her… He paid her $44 after the act was done.” Story: Orlando Sentinel, October 12, 2010; Daytone Beach News-Journal, October 14, 2010
