Missouri House member recommended for expulsion for sexually abusing own children
Missouri Rep. Rick
Roeber’s children and former wife testified to disturbing allegations of abuse, alcoholism and animal cruelty.
Earlier this year, three children of Missouri Rep.
Rick Roeber testified against their father for the physical and sexual abuse they say he committed.
On Monday, following an investigation by the Missouri House of Representatives, the Missouri Ethics Committee unanimously agreed to expel Roeber from the House. Later this week, that measure to expel will go to a vote in the Missouri House, which needs a two-thirds majority to pass.
