The Dallas Morning News reports:
A woman who works as a professional escort says Brad Namdar, a GOP congressional candidate and anti-human trafficking advocate, solicited sex from her on two occasions last spring. The escort said she first met Namdar in May, as he was gearing up for his congressional run. She provided The Dallas Morning News with evidence, including videos, of the alleged sexual encounters. The News is not naming her because she fears retaliation from Namdar and his supporters.
The News also uncovered allegations through school records that Namdar inappropriately touched a student when he was a teacher and coach at a Dallas high school. Child Protective Services was notified about the alleged incident. Namdar, 33, denied all of the allegations. He said that text messages and video footage the woman provided of their alleged sexual encounters are fake and that he has been threatened in the past by people involved in trafficking.

I am not going to allow for false allegations towards me, my family, or anyone else to distract me from my campaign. Lies, fabrications, and attacks on my character have been done, but I will move forward. I’d like to thank our supporters during this time and let’s focus on TX32
