The disturbing facts of a sexual abuse case that Oregon Speaker of the House Karen Minnis paid $20k to try and cover up and ignore. Time after time, the scandals of Karen Minnis are brushed under the rug. This is too much. When will the voters of East County see her for what she is?

Karen Minnis and her husband protected Tuck Minnis after he allegedly attempted to rape a 17-year-old girl--an employee at their pizza restaurant in Hillsboro.

Karen Minnis and her husband -- a police officer -- chose not to believe the girl's allegations. There is no indication that they reported their teenage employee's charge to proper authorities.

Then, Karen Minnis and her husband paid $20,000 to try to make the case go away.

They kept the alleged attacker -- Karen Minnis' brother-in-law--on their payroll for six more months. He was even living at their home when he was convicted later that year for public indecency and harassment.

Well Karen? What's your excuse this time? And you still support parental notification? Karen Minnis is a dirty, dirty hypocrite.

If you take a look at her campaign website, it states the following:

"Karen Works for Oregon Women. Domestic Violence, Health Care and Equal Treatment.

...Karen has continued working on these issues by sponsoring and supporting bills that protect women and children, strengthen the rights and protections of victims of domestic violence, toughen penalties for sexual predators and ensure access to critical health care screenings."
