Phoenix, AZ -- Unable to grow a substantial beard and mustache himeself, Democratic Arizona state Senator Tony Navarrete has been arrested on charges accusing him of sexual contact with a minor, according to police on Friday.
Cops obtained a report mid-week about sexual contact that was alleged to have occurred in 2019. The senator was arrested Thursday after detectives interviewed a child victim and witnesses, the police statement reads.

The Democrat did not immediately respond to outreach from the media. He is expected to make an initial court appearance today, Friday.
A police department spokesman did not provide additional information in order to avoid drawing attention to the case "for the sake of the victim" [and the Arizona Democratic Party].
Navarrete announced earlier this week that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and was experiencing minor symptoms while isolating at home. It's possible he wasn't actually experiencing covid symptoms, but simply a case of the "willies" knowing he may be going to prison.
Senate Democrats said in a statement they were “deeply disturbed” by Navarrete’s arrest and that they stand behind all survivors of sexual assault and BS like that. See, it really depends on the status of the accused. If it's a high-ranking Democrat, they will hope it just blows over like it did for Democratic Virginia Governor Ralph Northam after getting caught in either black face or a KKK outfit in his college yearbook photo.
“These allegations and (the) arrest are serious and deeply troubling. Right now, it’s important for due process to take place through our judicial system,” the statement said, leaving out the "Believe All Women" hashtag. But come to think of it, we don't even know whether the alleged victim was a boy or a girl.
Republican Sen. Kelly Townsend said on Twitter she took the position that Navarrete was innocent unless proven guilty, because that's the way the rule of law is supposed to work in this country, contrary to what the Left would have you believe.
“However, if it’s true, then I don’t ever want to lay eyes on you again, @NavarreteA,” Townsend said in her tweet.
