Maricopa county assessor arrested

[338lapua]

for smuggling in pregnant women from Marshall Islands and selling their babies. Sounds like he was getting 35K per baby. Sounds like he was operating in multiple states which is probably turning this into a federal case at some point.

And he had a woman working for him helping the women to get Medicaid probably making tax payers foot the birth bill.

And he had a woman working for him helping the women to get Medicaid probably making tax payers foot the birth bill. Sounds like he stuck the state with 800K worth of bills. Bet most of his adoptions were to mormon couples since Utah was where most went.

Another crazy politician story that just flabbergasts me. Why would you get into office knowing you had all these skeletons. The greed and power hungry political machine just continues to new levels of crazy.

I’m outraged. $35K for a baby is way too high.

I gear they found new charges and raised his bail amount. Hearing there may be kids from other countries he sold.

Now in federal custody awaiting transfer to Arkansas.
