Iowa Political Candidate Arrested for Prostitution

Talking about whoring yourself out in pursuit of political office. Only this story has a very unique twist.

On Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2011 the Centerville Police Department arrested and charged Ben Clifford Dawson, 83, of Centerville with the crime of prostitution, an aggravated misdemeanor and assault with the intent to commit sexual abuse, an aggravated misdemeanor, according to a Centerville Police Department press release.

The charges stem from an investigation which began on Oct. 22. During the investigation the victim alleged Dawson had offered to perform sex acts upon them in exchange for repayment of a loan. Dawson also grabbed the victim and began kissing their neck without consent.

He apparently did this to two women. And here you thought Herman Cain had issues.
