South Dakota GOP state Senate hopeful charged with child abuse after allegedly grooming, raping family member
Joel Koskan, a Republican running for South Dakota state Senate, was charged with felony child abuse after he allegedly sexually abused a child family member.
Joel Koskan, who is running for state Senate for the third time, was charged Thursday in Mellette County with exposing the child to "sexual grooming behaviors" after Assistant Attorney General Mandy Miller reviewed an investigation conducted by the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation. He allegedly groomed and abused the girl for at least six years starting in 2014, when she was 12-years-old.
He has since deleted all of his social media accounts and gone into hiding.
