Following leads in an investigation of Paul Reubens, Jones was arrested in 2002 for possession of child pornography and soliciting a 14-year-old boy to produce sexually explicit images between September 2000 to May 2001.[37][38][39] Jones photographed the child, and paid him to pose nude on multiple occasions wearing a cowboy hat, with stuffed animals, and dressed as a Native American.[40] Jones surrendered himself and was released on bond prior to arraignment.[41] Jones pleaded not guilty to the possession charge[42] and no contest to a charge of soliciting a minor. The victim initiated a separate civil action against Jones seeking damages and compensation.[43] The misdemeanor charge of possession of child pornography was dropped following the no contest plea.[44] His attorney emphasized that there was no allegation of improper physical contact. His punishment was five years' probation, counseling, and the requirement to register as a sex offender.
I agree with the Idea that being in a position for too long increases the possibility of corruption. But, I'll counter with two thoughts:
1.) Shouldn't people have the ability to vote for who they want to represent them? If the people of Vermont want to keep on ~~rejecting~~ electing Bernie Sanders, why should they not be able to? (Valid counterpoint- Dianne Feinstein)
2.) This is the less trivial one - I fear that term limits would invite more corruption, as the representatives understand they only have a limited amount of time to grease as many palms and make as many connections as possible in their limited amount of time in office. We already have issues with the lame duck period, and those are currently measured in weeks. I can only imagine what I'd be like if a large portion of reps had full lame duck sessions.
