Governor pardons Dem lawmaker convicted of having a relationship with underage girl
January 16, 2022
Outgoing Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam gave a farewell present to a fellow Democrat last week by pardoning a Democratic state legislator who had an illicit relationship with an underage girl.
State Sen. Joe Morrissey was convicted in 2014 on a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, he'd entered an Alford plea to the charge -- not admitting guilt but acknowledging that the state had evidence that would likely result in a conviction.
