Illinois Congressional Delegation Calls on State AG to Appoint Prosecutor to Investigate Alleged Rape and Cover Up

Washington, DC U.S. Reps. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), John Shimkus (R-Ill.), Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), Mike Bost (R-Ill.), and Darin LaHood (R-Ill.) today released this joint statement calling on the Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the alleged rape and cover up in Champaign, IL.

These revelations are extremely troubling and a thorough independent investigation needs to happen immediately. We are very concerned that the Champaign County States Attorney has determined she will not investigate this alleged crime. If these disturbing allegations, that were revealed this week, are true theres a victim out there that deserves justice and a criminal that should be prosecuted. Given the unwillingness of the local states attorney to investigate this alleged crime and ties to the governors campaign, we believe a special prosecutor is warranted.
