Virginia Democrat Convicted In Teen Sex Case Faces More Charges

Virginia State Del. Joseph Morrisey (D), who was convicted in December 2014 of contributing to the delinquency of a minor for having sex with a 17-year-old girl, is now facing more charges.

A Virginia lawmaker pleaded not guilty Monday to felony charges of fabricating a document that he presented as evidence in a previous case, one that landed him in jail for having an inappropriate relationship with a teenager. … The new four-count indictment accuses Morrissey of forging a document that that he vouched for in court and persuading the teenager’s mother to attest to its authenticity.

Morrissey spends his nights in jail and attends legislative sessions on work release while serving his six-month sentence.

In December, Del. Joseph D. Morrissey, 57, was convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after prosecutors accused him of having sex with a 17-year-old employee of his law office. He was sentenced to six months in jail and is spending nights locked up and attending General Assembly sessions during the day on work release.
