AP: Muschany indictment to be discussed at Republican weekend retreat

The indictment of Rep. Scott Muschany on a felony charge of deviate sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl will be a major topic this weekend at a Republican weekend retreat, according to an Associated Press article:

House Republicans this weekend will be at the Lake of the Ozarks for an annual summer meeting. House Speaker Pro Tem Bryan Pratt said that Muschany's indictment will be one of the major subjects to be discussed.

Pratt, R-Blue Springs, said in a Thursday interview before Kinder's resignation call, that if there is an "air of truth to the allegations" then Muschany should resign.

"This is a very severe felony allegation, and one of the most heinous crimes you can commit," said Pratt, who is the second-ranking House Republican.
