Ohio Democrat Gerald Dixon was sworn in for a second term on the Whitehall City Council on Tuesday, only hours after he was released from custody following his arrest on child sex abuse charges.
Dixon, 64, denies the allegations. He has stated this year that he has been a Democrat since 1980, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
Dixon won reelection to the nonpartisan Whitehall City Council Ward 1 seat in November, receiving nearly 70 percent of the vote. Whitehall is a suburb of Columbus.
