“Chatfield, former speaker of the Michigan House and legislator from 2015 through 2020, stands accused of being engaged in a “criminal enterprise” as part of court documents mistakenly made public in October. That filing also alleges that the ex-lawmaker could have also participated in embezzlement, bribery, use of controlled substances and campaign finance violations while in office.

His conduct is currently being investigated by the Department of Attorney General in conjunction with the Michigan State Police. That probe began in February 2022 when his sister-in-law Rebekah Chatfield, accused the ex-lawmaker of sexually abusing her since she was a minor.”

“Former students now tell The Daily Beast that the family’s school was a “cult-like” institution where spanking and forced chores kept students in line, where women were trained to be subservient to men, and where at least one former student had to publicly apologize to the congregation for accusing a boy of rape.”

The people trying to blame her should go put on a hair shirt.

Daily Beast with some exclusive reporting. This thread is so sad.

His supposed best friend who intermingled state work (chief of staff and wife on state payroll as event coordinator) and nonprofits with him essentially says he barely knew the guy! lol

Scamming funds from various dubious "nonprofits" to live a high life.

Agree. You'll get a better, fairer, more rigorous investigation from the police. No opportunity for political white washing the situation.

Not sure why the MI State House would do an investigation. He's no longer a member of the House.

As I’m assuming your post was sarcastic, lol. (If your post was real, lol, but in a different tone, and followed by a “god help you.”)

I seem to remember Republicans get exceptionally heated up about pedophilia but here we find yet another elected pedophile rapist Republican and the same anger is a little thin on the ground.

Many days into this revelation, is there any investigation of these allegations? Is he just going to get away with it?

I’m pretty sure one of the articles mentioned a criminal investigation.

The Michigan House will not conduct one, to no one’s surprise.

Yup here it is. The House is assisting the police investigation but won’t do its own.
“The Lansing Police Department received the complaint and referred it to investigators in its Seventh District in northern Michigan, according to MSP spokesperson Shanon Banner.

Gideon D’Assandro, spokesperson for current House Speaker Jason Wentworth, R-Farwell, told reporters Wednesday the House made contact with both Lansing and state police and offered full cooperation.

“The focus right now is on the two investigative bodies who are already looking into this and doing what the House can do to be cooperative and to help them with what they’re doing,” he said.”
