Decatur City Councilor Hunter Pepper is getting pushback after he posted a laugh emoji on WAFF-TV 48′s Facebook page in reaction to a story about a Dutch man’s conviction for removing a condom during a sexual act with a partner.
A Decatur resident called for the removal of Hunter Pepper as a city councilman for “lack of competence and character” following another controversial public action by the young official, but Pepper said he won’t let “liberals” control him.
In response, Pepper posted, “Clearly if you’d read the article ‘it was consented’ sex. Obviously not sexual assault but...hey all of you individuals try to catch people in things that aren’t true. I don’t not believe sexual assault is okay ...
Sieweke was referring to court rulings involving social media accounts used for official purposes by a government representative.Pepper said he did not remove his post or remove or block the posts of anyone who responded to it. He said it’s possible that Facebook removed some posts. Council President Jacob Ladner told Sieweke that the council is unable to respond to Sieweke’s demand.City Attorney Herman Marks said the only recourse allowed under state law is for citizens to seek impeachment in the Circuit Court.
District 1 Councilman Billy Jackson said he’s voiced his concerns over Pepper throughout the young councilman’s tenure.
