Summary

John Jessup, a Republican politician in Indiana, pleaded guilty to attempted sexual assault and must resign from his position as county commissioner.

Despite winning re-election while under house arrest, Jessup’s conviction disqualifies him from serving in office.

The local Republican party will arrange a caucus to fill his position once his resignation takes effect.
