Minnesota GOP operative charged with sex trafficking minors claims feds targeted him

[TexasTowelie]

MINNEAPOLIS — Anton Lazzaro, the Minnesota GOP strategist charged last year with sex trafficking of minors, is arguing in a court filing that he's being singled out for prosecution due to his wealth and public profile and that the case against him should be dismissed.

Lazzaro also argued in the motion filed in U.S. District Court that he was not paying females for sex, but merely giving them expensive presents before they "hooked up."

Prosecutors have yet to file a motion in response to Lazzaro's arguments for why the case should be thrown out.

The 31-year-old Minneapolis entrepreneur, whose political ties sent a shock wave through the Minnesota GOP after his arrest last year, faces 10 charges related to trafficking minors and obstruction of justice.

4. Roses are red, Daisies for plucking

It’s when they’re eighteen, They’re ready for (CENSORED!).

If Lazaro had lived by that maxim, he’d be in a lot less trouble.
