Let’s dissect this, shall we?

To the right stands former Virginia delegate Joe Morrissey, 57, a Democrat running for a Virginia state Senate seat as an Independent after Democratic Party officials rejected his attempt to seek office. Joining Morrissey are his 19-year-old receptionist, Myrna Pride, and their 9-week-old son Chase, a child Morrissey publicly acknowledged as his son for the first time Wednesday.

The image shows Morrissey, who is white, and Pride, who is black, in what some reporters have described as “period” dress — without mention of the fact that said period would appear to be the antebellum South or that said photo was taken in Virginia Beach, a city that sits about two hours from Richmond, the onetime capital of the Confederacy.

The picture also depicts Pride seated with Chase in her arms, gazing up at Morrissey. Morrissey returns Pride’s gaze from several feet above, with a hand planted firmly on Pride’s shoulder.

While a biracial family's antebellum-themed photo may raise eyebrows under any circumstances, this one carries additional meaning. On Wednesday, Morrissey told a Richmond radio show audience that Chase was conceived when Pride was 18. Last year, Morrissey pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor in connection with his relationship with Pride — while she was 17 — but denied the original charges. Prosecutors initially charged Morrissey with multiple felonies, alleging that he had sex with Pride while a minor and shared nude photos of her.

In December, Morrissey agreed to a plea deal on a misdemeanor charge in which he admitted no guilt and avoided conviction on the felony charges.

He agreed to serve a six-month jail term that was reduced to a 90-day work-release sentence. Morrissey resigned from the House as a Democrat and later declared himself an independent candidate for his old seat. After easily winning back his seat, he left office this year to run for state Senate.

The Post typically does not identify victims of sexual crimes, but Pride, who is now 19, gave The Post her permission to be named.

The family photo first became public when Morrissey shared it with a Richmond-area television reporter May 14. When asked whether the photo amounted to confirmation that Chase is his son, Morrissey offered a definitive, “no.” Then, on Wednesday, during a discussion about the image on WLEE (990 AM) radio, Morrissey described Chase as his son.
Yes, that’s W ... L-E-E radio, in Richmond.

On Thursday, Morrissey also distributed copies of the photo at a news conference and informed reporters that he and Pride plan to marry.

Enough said.

Wow.

I wonder if he was being blackmailed with that photo and just decided to leak it himself. Her family is planning to sue him. Her mom had to have been known about their relationship. I'm assuming there's no father in her life..

"The heart wants what it wants! We're consenting adults (now)! It's no one's business..."

Hey read this exchange between the two and let me know if you see something that is ironic or otherwise stands out in the exchange to you the same way it struck me:


Evidence of the following text message exchange between the 55-year-old Morrissey and the 17-year-old victim early the following morning:

Victim: “I woke up this morning and got in the shower and I was thinking about last night, which was wonderful. Now I’m laying here completely naked water dripping off my body and my hair dripping just fantasizing about what you would do to me right now.”

Morrissey: “I wish I was there NOW! Your right, last night was great. Btw, how much time do you want me to spend caressing n luck inking you before I put my —- inside you?

Morrissey: “a pic you lying there fantasizing about me f—–g you… send me a pic and then I’m gonna call you.”

Victim: (attaching a nude photo of herself) “You got me with a fresh face (no makeup) and a fresh body.”

Morrissey: “GORGEOUS… simply GORGEOUS!!I could eat you… but then again I did already!”

I think most readers understand that Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy, but I don't get why that passage reads so awkwardly to me. Where the pictures were taken seems irrelevant as well.

The pictures aren't even the issue. It's everything else. And to be so brazen about it. Is this another obvious case of WP?

i'd feel like i failed her as a father

and

she failed herself as a young lady

and

that 57 year old man is disturbed on multiple levels and he need hsi ass whooped...not that it'll change him. the ass whoopin is just for GP


***
I'm tryna be better off, not better than...

>i'd feel like i failed her as a father

Absolutely.


>she failed herself as a young lady

Word.

>that 57 year old man is disturbed on multiple levels

This one.

Let's simplify this an assume that the girl was 18 since there is some disagreement about her age at the time they started the affair and we all agree that a relationship with a person who is not the age of consent is a bad thing and people should go to jail for it. Let's also agree that it's a bad thing to abuse a position of authority like a boss, teacher, clergyman, etc.

But generally speaking is a guy really crazy for lusting after an adult woman who is decades younger than him?

Listen, I agree it's a terrible idea. Will probably end badly. Not something I would want to do. Definitely creepy.

I am just saying....I kind of get it. That's all.

lusting after and pursuing are two different things.
there are some genuinely grown looking beautiful young people out there
grown people need to do better and not go after them.
yes it is sick for grown ass adults to go out of their way to chase children
no matter how grown their exterior.

I'm so disgusted.

he originally went to morisseys house and got him arrested. That's why he got that weak 6 month sentence. Guess now she's 18 he can't do shit.

Now the Moms might go to jail on some perjury mess. Can you imagine the shit storm if this dude was black with some 17 year old white girl? Gotdamn!!

dude caught up

pops came to the house & caught her there

such a mess
