Raw Story: A former intern for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was arrested Tuesday over an alleged sexual extortion scheme.
In a press release,
the FBI said 21-year-old Adam Savader allegedly stalked 15 different
women from three states between May 2012 and this past February.
The New York Daily News reported
that Savader was a political science major at SUNY Farmingdale. He had
worked on the political campaigns of Newt Gingrich, Paul Ryan, and
Romney.
Savader claimed to have nude photos of the women, and threatened to
release the photos unless they sent him more. He demanded that one woman
answer “a series of personal questions, relating to sexual preferences,
positions, etc.,” according to a FBI complaint. He also informed at least two women that he was masturbating to their stolen pictures.
“I swear on all that is holy. If you fuck with me again I will send
these to your parents. I have no problem sending them to ur [sic]
parents, friends and sorority sisters unless you cooperate by answering
me,” he allegedly told one woman.
Some of the victims attended the same high school as Savader, according to the complaint.
The fact that Savader had also worked for Paul Ryan and Newt Gingrich
says a lot. It’s pretty obvious that his little game here was about
satisfying his sexual fetish for exerting control over women — which
makes campaigning for Romney, Ryan, and Gingrich sort of a natural
choice.
