Politics | Alvin Greene Greene's Indicted, but Not Disqualified Apparently giving porn to a college kid doesn't preclude one from being a senator By Polly Davis Doig Posted Aug 14, 2010 6:01 AM CDT Copied Alvin Greene was indicted Friday, August 13, 2010 on two charges, including a felony charge of showing pornography to a South Carolina college student.

Greene meets the two main criteria to run, Democrats say—he is of age and he is a resident—and the rest will sort itself out, Politico reports. “This is not grounds for him to be removed,” says a former state Democratic chair. “Being indicted in no way affects his eligibility to run. If he were to be elected, it would be up to the US Senate.” Read These Next See the best BBQ cities in the US. Iraq's national game of deception brings out the best bluffers.
