Re: Democrat sex offender Jack Franks.

Illinois State Police recently executed a search warrant at Illinois 
House Speaker Michael Madigan’s Capitol offices as part of a sexual 
misconduct and stalking investigation of Jack Franks, a former state 
representative who now serves as McHenry County Board chairman, the 
Chicago Sun-Times has learned.

In February 2019, the speaker’s office determined the harassment 
allegations were “credible,” and the speaker asked Illinois 
Secretary of State Capitol Police to ban Franks from entering the 
Capitol without an escort, the speaker’s office said.

The allegations date back to 2016, according to the speaker’s 
office. When the initial complaint was received, several speaker’s 
office staffers said they witnessed Franks and the alleged victim 
speaking privately, a conversation that left her shaken “to the 
core.” That was reported to senior staff at the speaker’s office.
