Leftist Icon, Caesar Chavez, Revealed as Rapist Pedophile
Reporting revealed incidents involving girls as young as 12.
New York Times has reported that Caesar Chavez, often glorified as a progressive civil rights icon, raped or sexually assaulted several underage girls.
The abuse allegations appear to be part of a larger pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Chavez, much of which has never been publicly revealed. The Times investigation found that Mr. Chavez also used many of the women who worked and volunteered in his movement for his own sexual gratification. His most prominent female ally in the movement, Dolores Huerta, said in an interview that he sexually assaulted her, a disclosure she has never before made publicly.
The NYTimes article features several statements by women who were assaulted by Chavez:
Ms. Rojas said she was 12 when Mr. Chavez first touched her inappropriately, groping her breasts in the same office where he’d meet with Ms. Murguia. When Ms. Rojas was 15, he arranged to have her stay at a motel during a weekslong march through California, she said, and had sexual intercourse with her — rape, under state law, because she was not old enough to consent. (Ms. Murguia said Mr. Chavez molested her but never had intercourse with her.)
In 1994 President Bill Clinton awarded Chavez the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Times article notes that President Biden honored Chavez by displaying a bronze bust of him in the Oval Office in 2021:
Several Texas streets are named in honor of Caesar Chavez:
Cesar Chavez Street (Austin - formerly 1st Street)
César Chávez Boulevard (Dallas - formerly part of South Central Expressway/Industrial Boulevard area)
César Chávez Boulevard (Houston - formerly 67th Street)
César Chávez Boulevard (San Antonio - formerly Durango Boulevard)
Cesar Chavez Memorial Highway (Corpus Christi - Texas State Highway 44)
César Chávez Border Highway (El Paso - part of Texas State Highway Loop 375)
UT Austin features a bronze statue of Chavez on their campus:
New York Times reporter, Lauren McGaughy, posted that UT Austin has declined to comment about the investigation into Chavez.
The age of consent in Mexico has historically been 12. In light of these recent rapey allegations, many people are questioning whether Chavez will be canceled. Chavez is seen as a champion for worker’s rights by the left, and someone who stood firmly against illegal immigration by those on the right. One could theorize that the ruling class has an interest in diminishing his legacy on both fronts.

Didn't the Reverend Doctor commit even more licentious acts? So not sure why anything would change.
