Stacey Abrams' Brother-In-Law Arrested In Tampa… On Charges Of Human Trafficking, Attacking Teen

Bad news has come for the family of former self-declared Governor of Georgia and erstwhile President of United Earth Stacey Abrams, as her Brother in Law has been arrested in Tampa, Florida on charges of human trafficking as reported by WFLA News in Tampa: Stacey Abrams' brother-in-law arrested in Tampa for human trafficking, attacking teen: police -- Gardner is married to Abrams sister Leslie Abrams Gardner, a judge on the bench of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia since 2014 when she was appointed by then President Barack Obama. Tampa Police say they arrested the 57-year-old Gardner Friday 'for allegedly attempting to engage in sexual acts with a 16-year-old girl' which… hoo boy.

This isn't Gardner's first run-in with the law on these types of matters; in 2016 he was exonerated of a rape conviction that had seen him imprisoned for the previous 27 years. Two years after his exoneration Gardner married Judge Abrams and began a career as a 'motivational speaker and emotional intelligence trainer for students and people who were formerly incarcerated'. That's great to hear that his day job includes working with kids, yeah. Just swell.
