Michigan Republican activist pleads guilty to sexual battery

CLEVELAND -- A lawyer who formerly led a Michigan young Republicans organization has pleaded guilty to sexual battery for forcing sex acts on a woman while both were at a convention last July.

The case was headed to trial, but prosecutors reached a plea agreement with Michael A. Flory during a break in jury selection Tuesday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court.

Flory, 32, of Jackson, Mich., faces one to five years in prison or probation at his sentencing Sept. 13. He also will become a registered sex offender. Judge Peter J. Corrigan will determine whether to classify him as a sexual predator.

When Corrigan asked if he was pleading guilty, Flory responded "sure." When pressed by the judge and prodded by his attorney, Flory then answered, "yes."

Flory had faced 11 charges, including eight counts of rape, kidnapping, aggravated burglary and gross sexual imposition.

In a statement issued Tuesday, Flory, who has a law office in Okemos, Mich., and is the former chairman of the Michigan Federation of Young Republicans, said accepting the plea would mean less emotional hardship for the victim and witnesses who would have been called to testify.

1. What is it about these Republicans and sexual abuse..is it

a sense of entitlement?

3. Well...

If you were a person who indulged in acts of sexual power, most which are, thankfully, illegal, wouldn't you be attracted to those who held even more power? for cover, for influence, for the sport?

Of course you would. If he was still alive, you could ask Ernst Rohm about it.

6. From his snarky response, I'd say yes. That's why I wish these 'instances'

got into the mainstream.

7. one to five years or probation

Chances of this asshole going to jail are between slim and none, and slim left town. I would bet he isn't even disbarred.
