Did State Senator Carlos Uresti really diddle two teenagers, and then cover it up? (See background stories below.)

He won't talk about it, but well connected insiders are making book that he will be indicted for the shocking accusations.

The rumors have been smouldering a long time, and now The Snitch can reveal that a story we first broke in late February -- one which drew the ire and fire of longtime political lackeys -- may become a full fledged torch job.

And soon!

The arson squad is on standby, and the emergency vehicles are lining up, as tattlers claim to the Snitch that a Grand Jury is set to hear, and quite likely to indict, the San Antonio Senator who is well known as a shady lady chaser.

Currently, Carlos is in the midst of a messy divorce, and is dating a woman who is NOT under age.

Estranged wife Yolanda is livid, of course.

Two weeks is the date most often mentioned, and Carlos is lobbying powerful friends in an effort to stave off the quite possibly inevitable.

A top legal team is said to be assembling, and strategies are being sketched out.

Carlos is offered free unedited space in this publication to respond.

  DEFLECTING THE FLACK
Defending Carlos Uresti
PR Firm Aids Senator In Sex-Scandal Allegations;
Still Mum On 'Love Child Issue'

A local PR firm is defending State Senator Carlos Uresti as more rumors and details surface in a potentially explosive sex scandal involving two alleged, separate affairs with teenagers. (See story below.)

TJ Connolly, of Connolly and Company, fired off an email to members of the news media taking the Lightning to task for publishing the allegations. The firm's letter head was attached.

Claiming he is not authorized -- or paid -- to speak on Uresti's behalf, Connolly none the less spoke on Uresti's behalf.

Excerpts:

Clearly, the Senator and his wife have issues to deal with…as any couple married nearly 20 years would. They have asked for some level of privacy to work on things. Unfortunately for them, they have to play their challenges out in broad daylight because he is an elected official.

Ironically, the idiots using you and your site don’t understand that they have overplayed their hand.

I am not authorized to speak on Carlos’s (sic) behalf...nor have I been asked to do so. But I emailed you back during last falls (sic) election when I thought you were unfairly beating up on Rep. Joaquin Castro over that stupid toll road sign issue. But I’ll give you this much, you did have facts, pictures and witnesses over the horrendous murder of that anti-toll sign. Everything you don’t have in the Uresti story. (Click for complete email.)

Connolly is referring to a scandal involving one of Joaquin Castro's paid campaign workers, who was caught vandalizng property belonging to opponent Nelson Balido. (Click for story.)

Connolly, at one time, was an occasional writer for the Lightning.

POLICE REPORT

  The story surfaced in the wake of a "domestic disturbance" last month when wife Yolanda called police and claimed she was being abused by the Senator. She also said he had a gun.

Carlos did have a firearm, but unloaded it before police arrived. Yolanda retracted her accusations, saying she was getting "revenge" for an extra-marital affair.

Carlos told police he had been drinking. He said he and Yolanda had been to a party.

So far Uresti has refused to comment on the "love child" rumors.

PR man Connolly also stopped short of calling the story false.

New rumors of sexual escapades involving State Senator Carlos Uresti are being batted around by South Side in-the-knowers, and may explain why cops had to handle a blowup at Uresti's homestead last month.

It was in late February that Yolanda Uresti called San Antonio police and said her husband was armed and abusing her.

According to a quoted police account in Express-News:

A caller identified only as Yolanda phoned police at 12:45 a.m. Saturday from the couple's home address.

Her husband was abusing her, she told the dispatcher. She identified him as a senator, and said he had a gun, according to two police sources who'd read the electronic dispatch report.

According to the police report, Yolanda changed her story when officers arrived. She said she was seeking revenge "due to him having a possible affair."

Turns out Carlos was packing heat, but claimed he had unloaded the weapon. He didn't say when.

No charges were filed. No, not even for making a false report to a police agency.

Uresti has denied having an affair, and his political handlers suggest that previous rumors may have been politically motivated.

Spokesman James Aldrete told E-N that the "allegations of an affair have been around since Carlos challenged Frank Madla."

Uresti shocked the political community when he easily defeated then State Senator Madla in the primary.

As a State Representative in the 90's, whispers of a "love child" and affair with a young lady named Brandy circulated widely through Austin and San Antonio.

In an exclusive telephone interview with the Lightning Yolanda Uresti confirmed the affair, and said "I thought everybody knew that."

* * *

Now, a similar story has surfaced at a recent event which rumor-zoomers were atwitter over the supposed liason between Carlos and a "Laredo teenager" who claims she is pregnant by Uresti. The delivery date is said to be just a few months away.

Truth or false rumor?

Carlos isn't saying. A call to his offices -- both in Austin and San Antonio -- failed to produce a promised statement.

The Urestis are offered free, unedited space in this publication to respond.
