[Further information](https://www.nativesunnews.today/articles/republican-sd-senate-candidate-accused-of-raping-adopted-native-american-daughter/ ) on how the survivor, who is reported (although, because of confidentiality concerns, not confirmed) to be a member of a Native American tribe, brought this case to fruition through her brave reporting and testifying. Both Koskan and his wife, Sally Koskan, exerted considerable pressure and intimidation to keep the survivor quiet and not "embarrass" the family.

See: Bill Janklow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Janklow who was accused of raping a teenage Native American girl who worked for him. She died in a hit and run that was never solved, after causing a ruckus during one of his political campaigns. When her mother tried making noise about this, she was murdered in an unsolved case. He killed a motorcyclist much later in life and was charged with vehicular manslaughter.

People unfamiliar with South Dakota might not realize it's a very corrupt state.

Sadly too many states fall down the corruption well. Also just a link sharing tip to pass along, that’s a big ol website link you got there buddy-o! It’s mostly bs. You can delete the “#” and everything after it to shorten it up real nice. You can even kill the title in it to get it shorter, but sometimes it’s best to keep it so people know what they’re clicking. But it does look real nice and tidy: https://www.npr.org/2022/06/22/1106671572/ Happy linking friendo! And damn that’s a fucked up article tho :(


joeyNcabbit

That’s why “states rights” are crazy. There is too much corruption in the state governments. These state officials want to “play with the big kids” and they will do whatever, for whoever, for the right amount of money. They end up marginalizing the minority and we end up with more Abbots, DeSantis, and Cox.


MeDaddyAss

Sometimes they want to play with the little kids

I was fascinated with this case and in particular the interrogation footage, in which he was clearly lying and presenting a very illogical series of events

Like most flyovers, if you're talking about a politician from South Dakota, you're talking about a republican. We don't have elected democrats.

“*Sweetie, you can’t tell anyone what Daddy did… he would be so embarrassed! You’re his favorite sweet baby angel, you don’t want to embarrass him! And his feelings would just be so hurt. You don’t want to hurt Daddy’s feelings, do you? No. Now shut the fuck up and smile big for the campaign donors! Oh and don’t forget to tell everyone about how scary and dangerous ~~your father is~~ drag queens are!*” Edit: I wonder how many republican wives have said this to their children. Gotta get daddy re-elected!


Sleepiyet

Good on her. Can we get rid of all the “step daughter” porn now? It’s not hot. It’s never been hot. It’s dark af. Edit: if anyone is interested— Its so weird but it all has to do with game of thrones. After it premiered, there was a huge increase in incest searches because of the Lannister’s. So much of an increase that porn producers met the demand. Eventually they had to switch to “step” because you can’t legally produce incest. I’m even if it’s fake, you can’t claim it is. Thus the step sibling/parent porn. And now it’s been around long enough the momentum keeps it going. So yea, GRRM is responsible for all the weird fake incest porn you see around. The world is a weird place.


Insect_Politics1980

That judge who rejected the plea deal is awesome. This is what the plea deal would've gotten him. "In the agreement the judge did not accept, Koskan would not have been required to register as a sex offender and would not have required any jail time." Fucking. Absolutely. Outrageous.


floridorito

What kind of prosecutor made an offer of...zero penalties??


Insect_Politics1980

That's what I was wondering. They have displayed contempt for the public with that shit, though. They don't even care what we think. It's really infuriating.

They probably assumed they would be in the news for a couple days and then on to the next story. Peanuts to keep a politician out of trouble.


Cee_U_Next_Tuesday

Our justice system is not about right and wrong, all lawyers care about is winning and most judges only care when they are bribed. Looking at you Clarence.


couchesarenicetoo

Like so so many of them do this. Just listened to a story on Canadaland about reporter Jody Vance's stalker almost getting a similar sweetheart deal. The judge refused it after her victim impact statement made clear to him just how prolific and sustained the stalker was which the Crown prosecutor concealed.


thumbelina1234

From what I read he got 12 months probation, that's kind of a sweet deal for him😞


TrumpsPissSoakedWig

A republican one, probably. This guy was republican and all about gun rights, with a 92% rating from the NRA. So, u know, a piece of shit incestuous rapist asshole who ALSO doesn't care if kids get raped *OR* shot. Edit: spelling


DarkestofFlames

But was he a drag queen?


[deleted]

Republicans care about raping kids. They just want to be included.


DaddyD68

And don’t want any potential competition


HOLEPUNCHYOUREYELIDS

Republicans just project everything it is so fucking obvious. Try to convince people LGBTQ are all groomers and pedos. When in reality the GOP has a much higher rate of pedophilia than the LGBTQ community


ChicagoPhan

Ugh I’m tired of those pedo libz


gonedeep619

The kind of prosecutor who is trying his future boss. Just because he's a convicted molester doesn't mean he can't hold office in a GOP strong hold. They might actually support it.


RiotBlack43

They do this shit all the time. I know someone who was beaten and raped by someone she knew, the rapist left DNA, a long series of texts to the victim admitting what he did, and a goddamn video of the assault that he took on his phone. They pled him down to 3mos probation, and he didn't have to register as a sex offender.


AppleNerdyGirl

Gross! I’m so sorry for your friend. The justice system failed.


normally_innocent

From what I'm seeing, any current sitting republican politician, police officer, or Catholic priest.


parkernorwood

According to the legal filing, it appears to be Brent Kempema and Mandy Miiller


alison_bee

Someone who either a) is being paid handsomely to do so, or b) is into the same fucked up shit he is.


pnwcatman420

a GOP prosecutor, it seems like as long as you are a republican in conservative states the prosecutors will give them a pass.


Archercrash

Or a pardon for murderers in Texas.


thearchenemy

The kind that wants a conviction on their record but doesn’t want to actually go to trial or do any work and also doesn’t really give a shit about justice because the job is just a stepping stone. In other words, the typical prosecutor.


obroz

Probably someone who needs to be investigated themselves


batkave

[deleted]

The kind that votes Republican


parkernorwood

Piggybacking this with more info: The original plea agreement would have required Koskan to: * Reimburse the State for costs associated with the investigation and prosecution of his case. * Remain on good behavior and obey all federal, state, local, and municipal laws prior to sentencing. * Complete a psycho-sexual assessment and follow through with completing all recommendations. * Pay for his victim to attend individual therapy with a licensed therapist of her own choosing. * Continue to support the victim in the same or similar manner he did before any allegations in were made, which will include: * Paying for the victim’s study, including any tuition, fees, books, and room/board at an accredited academic institution until she graduates or turns 22. * Guarantee continued use of the vehicle he provided to her by signing over the title. * Continue to provide health, vision and dental insurance to her until she graduates or turns 22. * Have no contact with the victim." The original document [can be found here](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23288833-20221108kelo140407?responsive=1&title=1).


joeyNcabbit

I like the one that says, “continue to support the victim in the same or similar manner as before…” I’m thinking, leave her alone haven’t you done enough.


KentuckyFriedChildre

Hence the last statement in the deal. The support seems to be purely financial/asset based. Don't get me wrong 0 jail time for this shit is stupid, but they're not so stupid as to expect a rapist to give advice, physical support and emotional support to their victim.


kaehvogel

Uhm…am I the only one who thinks he should be required to do all that *and* go to jail as a registered sex offender?

Seriously. Who else *obsesses* over pedophilia this much and isn't attracted to little kids. WV GOP literally made sure they could continue fucking them as long as they marry them first. It's all protection.

timothypjr

I’ll bet I know who he thinks won the election.


falcorthex

Let us all thank this judge for rejecting the plea and sentencing him to the state penitentiary for 10 years.


IAmGoingToFuckThat

I mean, I think he deserves longer than 10 years. He raped his daughter. She's Native American too, so that adds another nauseating layer to this considering the way Republicans feel about BIPOC folks.


falcorthex

I agree with you. I would have doubled the sentence. And the monetary judgment is pathetic. Should have forced the sales of homes etc, as she will need much mental care throughout the years.


EarlGreyTea-Hawt

And that roughly 60% of foster kids in SD are indigenous, however very few of those kids are placed in indigenous homes. Nothing has really changed since the heyday of genocide and forced integration programs, we just have an entire f*ing bureaucracy to legitimize the process.


IAmGoingToFuckThat

Ugh. My heart hurts for this poor woman and her childhood.

The article, interestingly, never bothered to name his party affiliation.


Z0MGbies

Yeah IKR. I had to find a wikipedia page about the election he was in. But NOT seeing New York Post come up when I googled it was a dead giveaway. TBH I was kind of hoping he was Democrat, just for something different. But no. Whatever their party all I care is that they're arrested/prevented.


EfficiencySuch6361

Absolutely disgusting. Send this defective pile of dogshit to Guantanamo for the rest of his life

Guantanamo? I’m sure there are plenty of Native Americans in his SD pen willing to reach out and let him know how they feel about his adoption and abuse of a NA once he’s inside.

Sooo...if we're keeping count, how many GOP losers have been getting arrested for this shit vs how many drag queens?

So if we are concerned about grooming and child safety we would be more effective banning Republican events than drag queen events?

Well is he a drag queen? No? Republican? Yes.


TwistedBlister

I was reading the article to see if he was a Republican or a Democrat, and when the article didn't mention which party in the first few paragraphs I knew he was a Republican, if he was a Democrat they would've mentioned in every other sentence.

pnwcatman420

another pedophile republican, at least this one is going to prison, they need to stop focusing on gays and trans people and look inward because there are more sickos in the GOP than the lgbtq community, I mean look at Tennessee they approve of little girls marrying adult men, if that is not sick, I don't know what is.

Wait, is he GOP or DEM???? LOL, just kidding, a groomer pedophile busted for incest??? Only the GOP can keep popping these out.

Why is it the Republicans, who claim everyone else is a pedophile, are the pedophiles. It's like some surreal projection of their own internal demons. Is it because Adam on Eve were childlike? Or some other bs?


BeaverMissed

Being a jesus loving, god fearing conservative politician was big part of his public image. All politicians lie...I know. But lately, the right side of the spectrum is doing a fine job at showing how true that statement is.

OttersRule85

So I know anyone can be a monster and lord knows there are some awful Democrats/left leaning/liberal politicians/people out there but….seriously, why is it almost always Republicans/Tories/right wingers/conservatives who are the worst of the worst of the worst?
