Joel Koskan, a Republican running for the South Dakota State Senate, has been charged with felony child abuse after he allegedly groomed & raped a young family member for years.
3/The abuse of the young girl began in 2014 & continued for at least 6 yrs. He could also face counts of rape, sexual contact w a child under the age of 16 & aggravated incest-related child, according to a probable cause statement shared by the Mitchell Republic.
4/"The Senate hopeful began grooming the child when she was 12 yrs old by having her sit on his lap, kissing her & giving long hugs, according to the court docs," The Post's report stated. "The child thought the behavior was “‘normal things’ that families were supposed to do,”
5/sound familiar? 
6/an investigator wrote in the document. She realized what Koskan was doing to her was abusive at a summer🏕 she attended at age 14 when counselors spoke abt inappropriate physical contact with adults."
7/Koskan even reportedly installed a camera in the girls room so he could watch her from an app on his phone. The girl said he regularly touched her inappropriately & began forcing sexual intercourse when she turned 17.
8/“These allegations concerning Joel Koskan are deeply disturbing, & he should immediately end his campaign,” party chairman Randy Seiler said in a statement. “While he will still appear on the ballot, the choice for the voters of District 26 couldn’t be clearer.
