The late Senator Graham was accused of having an affair with a minor
Three men accused the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (listed as an extremist and terrorist by Rosfinmonitoring) of using escort services (the LGBT movement is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation). One of them claims that he was underage at the time of the meeting with the politician. This was reported by Newsweek magazine on October 22.
"The CLOSETocracy <...> features testimony from men who claim that Graham paid them for sex in Arizona and Washington, D.C. <...> One of the men, who appears in the film under the name Kelvin, claims to have met Graham in 2001 in Arizona, when he was 17 years old. According to him, Graham paid him $120 for a sexual encounter," the article says.
The publication notes that the charges have not been independently confirmed.
It is noteworthy that Kelvin said that Graham asked his age several times, and he insisted that he was 18 years old. Two other men, identified as Cory and Jesse, also described alleged sexual encounters with Graham—in Arizona and at a Washington hotel in 2012. Jesse claims to have received $260 for the meeting.
Newsweek recalls that in Arizona, the age of consent is set at 18 and minors cannot consent to sexual contact. Depending on the circumstances, such actions may qualify as a serious criminal offense.
Graham died on July 12 at the age of 71. The official cause of death was complications of cardiovascular disease. On July 28, the majority of US senators supported the bill on sanctions against Russia during a preliminary vote — it is called the main legacy of the deceased.
