Representative Chesney, now state Senator Chesney wrote the following:
"The crimes (he) stands accused of our heinous. I denounce him in the strongest terms. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. May their voices be heard and may justice be quickly served."
Fast forward five-years and Senator Chesney has not said a word about the Epstein Files.
The state senator either "denounces" sex crimes against children in all forms or he simply picks and chooses which horific events will get him the most and easiest press coverage.
If Senator Chesney's "thoughts and prayers" are honestly "with the victims and their families" why hasn't he protested the moving of Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice to sex crimes against children to a different and assumed more comfortable federal prison? The families of Epstein victims have spoken out on the move but Andrew seems to have lost the ability to hear.
If Andrew Chesney is truly interested in the "voices (of victims) be heard" and wants "justice quickly served" why has he completely ignored the issue of the Epstein files? He appears not to be that interested in the sexual abuse of children if the facts may implicate his hero.
The state senator has proven himself to be Stephenson County's most vocal hypocrite, and not just on the issue documented above, all the while touting something he calls "northwest Illiniois values." Perhaps Andrew Chesney will be willing to expound upon those values as they related to child sex abuse.
As always, yours in honesty,
John Samuel Cook
