“State Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, was arrested in Bloomington on suspicion of soliciting a minor for sex.

Bloomington Police led Eichorn, 40, to believe he was talking to a 16-year old girl and then met the senator and arrested him Monday near the 8300 block of Normandale Avenue, according to a Bloomington Police Department press release.”



In 2021 he objected to a bill requiring Minnesota schools to teach about sexual orientations and gender identities, saying “before you know it, they’ll be reading kids ‘50 Shades of Grey.’ This discussion is better had at a more mature age.”

Eichorn was first elected to the Minnesota Senate in 2016 and works at his family’s outdoor store in Grand Rapids.

Eichorn also co-authored a bill to classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness.

At least one Republican legislator has already called on Eichorn to resign — Rep. Elliot Engen, R-White Bear Township.

“Resign in disgrace. Prosecute to the fullest. Throw away the key,” Engen posted on X.



“This discussion is better had at a more mature age.”

So, 16 is mature enough for the discussion?

And maybe a show and tell?
