There are a number of Republicans currently accused of sex crimes, including against underage girls, who are still in the "vicious lies" stage of their defense. Some sprinkle it with accusations of Deep State witch hunting.
This guy is how most will end up. Pleading guilty in the hopes of getting a lesser sentence.
DA drops 'vicious lies' defense, pleads guilty in sex case
A Pennsylvania district attorney who had cast the case against him as a pack of “vicious lies” pleaded guilty Friday to pressuring clients for sex when he was a defense attorney and then coercing them to keep quiet about it.
Bradford County District Attorney Chad Salsman admitted guilt and resigned from office three months after claiming he had “committed no crimes” and hinting he was the victim of a political smear by the state’s top prosecutor.
After Salsman was first charged, he emailed a statement from his Bradford County government address that cast the accusations as “vicious lies” and pledged to “vigorously defending myself against these false allegations.” He added: “Anyone who knows me knows that the picture the Attorney General is painting is not Chad Salsman.”
Salsman, a Republican had also accused Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, of turning his case into a media spectacle, complaining about being handcuffed and “paraded in front of television cameras.”
The attorney general's office said Friday that "despite Mr. Salsman’s efforts to interfere in the investigation and his claims that the grand jury was politically motivated, today he is taking responsibility for his actions.”
Salsman “pressured clients into prostitution for legal services and used his power as a private attorney, and then as district attorney, to repeatedly harass, coerce, and intimidate victims,” the attorney’s general’s office said in a news release.

When Bradford County voters take to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 5, they will be deciding who will replace longtime District Attorney Dan Barrett.
Republicans Chad Salsman, a former Adams County prosecutor and longtime criminal defense lawyer, and current First Assistant District Attorney Albert C. Ondrey will be on the ballot as they look to become the county’s top prosecutor.
