Paul LeVota, House Minority leader, denies knowning details of Roman LeBlanc’s sex scandal
| Paul LeVota says he knew LeBlanc was under investigation, but not the details. |
Missouri House Minority Leader Paul LeVota was awfully generous when he called Roman LeBlanc cheating on his wife with an 18-year-old college student (who had accused LeBlanc of sexually assaulting her) a “mistake.”
LeVota, an Independence Democrat, told The Kansas City Star that LeBlanc was “trying to rectify the situation” when LeBlanc announced last week that he would not seek re-election. LeVota added: “I think he’s on the path to making things right, and I think he made the right decision today.”
LeVota now tells The Pitch that LeBlanc’s behavior was much worse than a mistake.
“Absolutely it was more,” LeVota says. “It was a disgusting lack in moral judgment.”
