Gross. Just gross. Henry Rayhons, a longtime Republican state senator from Iowa had already been warned by a judge that his wife did not have the cognitive ability to consent to sexual activity.

Unfortunately, he didn't heed the judge's warning:



A longtime Iowa legislator was charged with sexual abuse Friday after being accused of having sex with his wife despite being told she lacked the mental capacity to consent. On May 23, Henry Rayhons went into his wife's room and pulled the curtain closed, the complaint said. Donna Rayhon's roommate told authorities she heard noises indicating Henry Rayhons was having sex with Donna Rayhons, the complaint said. Surveillance video showed Henry Rayhons leaving his wife's room and discarding undergarments into a laundry bag, the complaint said.

He will not be seeking re-election in November.
