Schlapp’s Mother Hints He May Settle Groping Lawsuit

The Wichita Eagle reports:

Former Wichita City Council member Sue Schlapp adamantly defended her son Matt Schlapp against accusations of sexual battery while speaking to a Republican women’s group. “There’s nothing that’s more devastating than being the mother of somebody who’s falsely accused,” Sue Schlapp, 82, told attendees at a Republican Women United meeting.

“Any of you who knows my son knows that it’s total BS,” Schlapp said. “He may have to pay something financially just to get everybody off his back,” Sue Schlapp said. “Sometimes you have to do that if you’re going to carry on with your world. It’s not admitting guilt but it is saying ‘I’m busy. I’ve got to carry on here. Take this.’”
