The senator has put out a video admitting to it after DailyMail.com asked for his comment, blaming the media for the revelations. The child they had, Tony Bouchard, 36, is currently awaiting trial in California on five sex-related felony charges involving a 51-year-old woman. Bouchard has filed his candidacy to replace controversial U.S. Congresswoman Liz Cheney and has already raised $400,000.
According to his arrest documents, Tony was arrested by police shortly before Christmas 2018 and has been held on a high bond since. He is accused in the violent rape of a 51-year-old woman on Dec. 7, 2018 in Porterville, Calif.
His original bail was $2.5 million, according to records, but it's been reduced to $500,000 since. The Tulare County Sheriff's website shows Bouchard is still incarcerated while awaiting trial.
He faces charges of sodomy by use of force, oral copulation by force, sexual penetration with force, assault and false imprisonment.
