Former SD Legislator Arrested On Sex Charges


A former South Dakota legislator has been arrested. Republican Ted
Klaudt faces several charges including stalking and second degree
rape.

Klaudt is charged with eight counts of second degree rape, two counts
of sexual exploitation of a minor, one count of sexual contact with a
child under 16, two counts of tampering with a witness, and one count
of stalking.

Klaudt turned himself in this morning to the sheriff's department in
McIntosh.

These cases are being prosecuted by the Corson County States Attorney,
the Hughes County States Attorney, with the Attorney General's Office
assisting.

From Klaudt's voting history, to reaction from his former constituents
and the state, our news crews are working to cover all angles of this
developing story.
