North Carolina State Senator R.C. Soles is a long time fixture in the state house in Raleigh. He is also the subject of many years of rumors and innuendo about child molesting. Recently he’s been accused of just such a crime by a young man that was 15 when Soles supposedly accosted him.
The news is full of all the relevant details of the case. The long whispered history, the warnings given local authorities and the name of the latest accuser. There is something about Senator Soles, though, that didn’t seem to make the news upon the allegations, however. The fact that Soles is a Democrat seems to have missed the attention of the NC media.
In fact, a Google search of the story finds that the media forget to mention that Soles is a Democrat about half the time.
There are also some stories of Soles’ purchase of a house to hush up one victim and allegations of all sorts of wrong doing. Unfortunately, his party seems to be left out quite a lot in these stories.
Of course, if it were a child molesting Republican in question each story would have led with “Republican Senator accused of child molestation.”
Typical.
