http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-hof-sexual-misconduct-nevada-20180905-story.htmlBrothel owner and Republican Nevada Assembly nominee Dennis Hof is being investigated by state authorities in connection with sexual assault and rape allegations made over Labor Day weekend.
The Nevada Department of Public Safety confirmed the investigation Wednesday, but wouldnt comment on any specifics.
Based on a request from the Carson City Sheriffs Office, the Nevada Department of Public Safety, Investigation Division, is conducting an investigation into sexual assault allegations against Dennis Hof, the department said in a statement. As this is an ongoing investigation, no further information can be provided at this time.
But Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said his detective interviewed a woman who showed up at a local hospital Sunday alleging Hof had raped her.
Furlong said that after the detective conducted an initial interview with the woman, the department turned the case over to state authorities to investigate.
Hof locked up the Republican nomination for a seat in the Assembly, Nevadas lower legislative house, in a district that spans three rural counties when he upset incumbent James Oscarson in the June primary. In November, he will face Lesia Romanov, a Democrat who is considered an underdog in this deeply Republican area of the state.
But his nomination has been fraught with controversy, including revelations from former sex workers who contend that Hof sexually assaulted them while working in his brothels in the past.

He's a pimp. Call him a brothel owner if you want, but he's a pimp. A Republican pimp.

Setting aside his personal behavior, prostitution is perfectly legal in rural Nevada, and the women who work there choose to do so.
