Joe Morrissey, a former Virginia delegate who was jailed after a sex scandal involving his teenage secretary,

 in 2014, Morrissey was pressured into resigning from the state House of Delegates after he accepted an Alford plea to delinquency of a minor for allegedly having sex with Myrna Warren, who was 17 at the time, WRIC reported. An Alford plea is a guilty plea with an assertion of innocence.

He didn’t admit guilt, but acknowledged that prosecutors had enough evidence for a conviction. He accepted a lesser misdemeanor conviction and wasn’t required to register as a sex offender.

 He lost his law license in 2003 for unethical conduct. And, in 2016, his campaign for Richmond mayor failed after a female legal client accused him of making unwanted sexual advances.

No Republicans ran in the GOP primary for the Senate seat, which means Morrissey likely will win the November general election, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch

And that's how he did it.

I would be surprised if many of those voting for him knew about his past.
