Candidate: Rival sent topless dancer
SUNLAND PARK, N.M. (AP) — Scandals and dirty politics have long defined this dusty border town. So when a woman started dancing topless in mayoral candidate Gerardo Hernandez’s office, he says it crossed his mind it could be a setup.
It all started, Hernandez said, after a Mexican national offered to assist his campaign. During a meeting, Hernandez said, the man turned on some music and indicated the woman who was with him liked to dance. The dance turned sexual, Hernandez said, but there was no sex — just a dance.
“As any gentleman would know, it was a lap dance,” he said.
Hernandez says he was taped without his knowledge.
