A Democratic candidate who admitted to circulating revenge porn and who was charged at the age of 14 with threatening to shoot a high school student has won a state House seat in Kansas.
Aaron Coleman was the only candidate on the ballot in his district in Kansas City, Kansas, in Tuesday’s election, but he faced the veteran state lawmaker whom he defeated in the Democratic primary and a Republican candidate who ran as write-ins.
Unofficial results on Thursday show 3,496 votes for Coleman and 2,013 total write-in votes. Coleman was charged in May 2015 with making a criminal threat but he pleaded guilty to a lesser harassment charge.
