The former chairman of the Clark County Republican Party pleaded guilty today to criminal deviate conduct as part of an agreement that could result in two years behind bars.
Glenn Murphy Jr. was arrested after authorities said he performed oral sex on a sleeping man following a July 28 party at a home in Jeffersonville. The plea agreement calls for a six-year sentence, with four years suspended.
Murphy is free on a $25,000 bond pending his June 30 sentencing.
Murphy, who was also chairman of the Young Republican National Federation, resigned from both posts when the allegations were made public in August.
The allegations initially came to light when they were posted on the personal blog of Indiana Democratic Party spokeswoman Jennifer Wagner.
The 22-year-old man who brought the complaint told investigators that he and Murphy were among a group of people who spent the night at a home after a party there, according to an affidavit by Detective Randy Burton of the Clark County sheriff's office.
Murphy slept on a top bunk while the man slept on a lower bunk, the affidavit said. The man said he awoke at 6:40 the next morning and found Murphy performing oral sex on him, according to the document.
The man told Burton that he pushed Murphy away and left.
Two days later, the affidavit said, the man met with Murphy and secretly taped a conversation during which Murphy apologized and begged him not to report the incident to police.
