It really is the little things.

Phillip Hinkle: Craigslist Encounter A 'Shakedown': Report

First Posted: 8/12/11 03:38 PM ET Updated: 8/12/11 03:43 PM ET

An Indiana Republican state lawmaker is under scrutiny after reportedly arranging to meet a young man online and allegedly exposing himself when the pair subsequently met in person, according to the Indianapolis Star.

The AP reports:

The Indianapolis Star reported that emails suggest Republican Rep. Phillip Hinkle arranged to pay Kameryn Gibson up to $140 for “for a really good time.” The paper published emails between Hinkle and Gibson detailing a plan for them to meet at a downtown Indianapolis hotel.
The pair reportedly connected on Craigslist. Gibson indicated in a listing to which Hinkle responded that he is 20-years-old. According to the Star, however, Gibson says he is actually just 18.

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, a Republican, called the situation "a tragedy."

The Evansville Courier & Press reports:

Hinkle, who is 64 and was first elected in 2000, voted this spring for a constitutional gay marriage ban. Several years ago he also was the House sponsor of the measure that created Indiana’s “In God We Trust” license plates.
Hinkle is not the first politician to find himself in hot water over an alleged sex scandal involving Craigslist. U.S. Rep. Chris Lee (R-N.Y.) resigned earlier this year after finding himself embroiled in controversy. The AP reported in February:

Lee, a 46-year old Republican and married father, resigned his Buffalo-area seat ... after the gossip website Gawker published e-mails he sent to a woman he met on Craigslist, including a photo where he is shirtless and flexing a biceps. Lee released a statement apologizing to his family and constituents for letting them down.
Hinkle did not deny being complicit in the situation uncovered by the Star when the local outlet contacted him for comment. He said, however, that he's "aware of a shakedown taking place."

Peter Nugent, an attorney for the Republican lawmaker, told the Associated Press that his client would not publicly discuss the accusations he faces and that a private investigation looking into the matter is underway.

Q: How many Republican politicians can you fit in a closet?
A: Apparently, all of them.

Blow by blow of the entire exchange:

Eighteen yr old Kamryn Gibson got "freaked out" after learning that Hinckle was an Indiana lawmaker and tried to leave. Hinkle attempted to forcibly detain the young man. What a POS! Gibson called his sister who came to get him. It sounds like she raised Holy Hell. She sounds awesome.

It's amazing to me that a conservative lawmaker with so much to lose would use his home e-mail address and his known phone number to arrange any kind of illicit hook-up, much less a gay hook-up with a barely legal young man. Do they feel so entitled that they're somehow immune, or do they just want to get caught?

Thanks, Dapper. I LOVE this story.
