State Rep. Bryan Slaton (Photo by Gage Skidmore) UPDATE: The Texas Tribune is reporting today (Friday, April 14) on new details related to allegations in a complaint filed recently by a Capitol staffer against far-right state Rep.
Bryan Slaton, the Royse City Republican — and former pastor — who has spear-headed anti-LGBTQ bills in the Texas House. Initial reports said that the complaint alleged that Slaton had an “improper relationship” with a female intern he had invited to his Austin condo after 10 on a recent Friday night, and that he had consumed alcohol with the intern, who is under 21.
Today, however, the Tribune reports that the internal complaint alleges that Slaton, who is married and 45, had “sexual relations” with the young intern.
The Tribune’s initial reports about the complaint were based on excerpts that the media outlet’s reporter had been able to review.
