TOPEKA, Kan. — A Wyandotte County Republican leader has filed a battery complaint against a Republican leader in neighboring Johnson County saying he forcibly kissed her at an anti-abortion event in August.
Wyandotte County Republican Party Vice Chairwoman Stephanie Cashion told the Associated Press that she made a complaint to police last month accusing Johnson County Republican Party Chairman Fabian Shepard of grabbing her and kissing her without her permission. Cashion said the incident occurred at a Kansans for Life fundraising event in Bonner Springs.
Shepard did not immediately respond to a request for comment but told The Kansas City Star that he denies the allegations.
