Former Rep. Katie Hill gets restraining order vs. ex-husband

by City News Service • December 9, 2020

Katie Hill

LOS ANGELES – Former Rep. Katie Hill has obtained a restraining order against her ex-husband, whom she accuses of harassment and years of abuse.

On Tuesday, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered Kenneth Heslep to stay at least 100 yards away from the ex-congresswoman, as well as her mother and sister.

The couple officially divorced in October. Hill’s court filing for the protection order accused Heslep of choking her during sex multiple times and encouraging his dogs to attack some of her pets, according to the Los Angeles Times, which said attempts to contact Heslep were unsuccessful.

Heslep has previously denied allegations of abusing Hill.

Hill, a bisexual Democrat, resigned her seat in 2019 after nude photos of her were published and news emerged that she had a three-way relationship with her husband and a campaign staffer. She was also accused of having an affair with a member of her congressional staff.

The 33-year-old blamed her husband for the public release of the photos. Speaking in Congress in 2019, she decried a “misogynistic culture that gleefully consumed my naked pictures, capitalized on my sexuality and enabled my abusive ex to continue that abuse, this time with the entire country watching.”

The 25th Congressional District includes portions of the Antelope Valley. The seat had long been held by Republicans until Hill’s 2018 victory over then-Rep. Steve Knight, R-Palmdale. After Hill’s resignation, Republican Rep. Mike Garcia defeated Democratic Assemblywoman Christy Smith in a May 12 special election to fill the final 7 1/2 months of the term.

Garcia then beat Smith again by a razor-thin margin in November’s election for a full two-year term.

    Her husband is a jerk. I bet he voted for Trump.

    What else can explain his behavior?

        Of course I’m a Democrat. I’m intelligent unlike the current Republican Party and Ruby.

        The Republican Party is disintigrating before our very eyes.

        Since November 3, it’s been a flaming dumpster rolling down a hill headed for a cliff. Rudy Giuliani and his crazy law team have been a circus from the 4 Seasons Total Landscaping, dripping hair dye, Rudy got infected, and now the Supreme Court dismissed the last case in 1 sentance and the justices didn’t sign it because it was unanimous.

        Ouch!!! Donnie thought his 3 judges would save his a$$. Nope. He’s a LOSER.

        On January 20th at noon, the swamp will finally be emptied when the Trump Crime Family and its cult members are escorted out of the White House.

        Next stop, New York state prisons for the family. Tax fraud/evasion. Insurance fraud. Money laundering.

        I hope it’s televised. Now, THAT’S reality television at its best.

          Maybe Katie is up for another Throple, or a Hair Brush session with you.

        I recall there was once a horseless carriage called, the Humpmobile?

      She’s a Rambler! Two-toned, no less! Otherwise a collector’s item. You don’t see ‘um everyday. But, the gal’s got a few too many miles on her odometer, to be a reliable “daily driver.”

      • Beefcakes says

        Remember the Rambler Scrambler? Red, white and blue, just like our wonderful Katie, the ‘ol gal was mighty fast, a little boxy, kind of hard to handle.
