Joseph Monteleone, Jr.
 |
Claims to fame: Republican Elyria, Ohio, city councilmember; owner, Master Pizza; convicted sex abuser
Moral apex: Asked a 15-year-old who worked for him for sex, twice, and touched three more underage female employees on the butt.
Convicted of: Two felony counts of importuning and three misdemeanor counts of sexual imposition, in 2007.
Sentenced to: Three years’ probation, plus either a $9,000 fine or a $7,500 donation to a domestic violence shelter.
What happened next: Resigned from the city council, sold his pizza parlor… and failed to pay his fine. So the ridiculously lenient judge ordered him to make payments of $100 a month, or spend two days in jail for every payment he misses.
Suggested Bible reading for Mr. Monteleone:
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.— Romans 6:12
