Slaton target of complaint alleging inappropriate relationship with intern
State Rep. Bryan Slaton (Photo by Gage Skidmore) Texas state Rep. Brian Slaton — the Royse City Republican who first promised to make it illegal for children to see a drag queen last June after the Oak Lawn club Mr.
Misster held a family-friendly drag event (before the club opened, with no liquor served) — is now facing allegations that he has been engaging in a potentially “inappropriate relationship” with a female intern under the age of 21, according to the Texas Tribune.
An internal complaint has been filed against Slaton with the House General Investigating Committee by a legislative staffer and corroborated by another source who “works in the Capitol [and] who had direct knowledge of the incident,” the Tribune reports.
The complaint alleges that Slaton called the intern after 10 p.m. on March 31 and invited her to join him at his condo in Austin, where the two drank alcohol together. (Remember, the intern is under 21, therefore it is illegal for her to drink alcohol and illegal for him to provide her with alcohol.” Slaton later showed the intern a fake email claiming to know about the incident “in what appeared to be something of a loyalty test,” then told her not to tell anybody what happened.
