Cheney primary challenger admits to impregnating a 14-year-old when he was 18: Report.

A Wyoming Republican challenging Rep. Liz Cheney for her seat in the U.S. Congress admitted that he impregnated a 14-year-old girl when was 18.

State Sen. Anthony Bouchard broke the news in a Facebook live on Thursday.

“So, bottom line, it’s a story when I was young, two teenagers, girl gets pregnant. You’ve heard those stories before,” he said. “She was a little younger than me, so it’s like the Romeo and Juliet story.”

He did not specify the age of the girl in the live stream but later told The Star Tribune that she was 14. He said he wanted to get ahead of the story after learning that people were investigating it in opposition to his candidacy.

Bouchard said he married the girl when she was 15 and he was 19. The marriage was legal in Florida at the time because Florida law stated that people could marry at any age with a judge’s approval if a pregnancy was involved and a parent consented, according to the Star Tribune.

“A lot of pressure. Pressure to abort a baby. I got to tell you. I wasn’t going to do it, and neither was she,” he said. “And there was pressure to have her banished from their family. Just pressure. Pressure to go hide somewhere. And the only thing I could see as the right thing to do was to get married and take care of him.”

The couple would divorce three years later.

Bouchard’s ex-wife committed suicide when she was 20 and he and their son seem to have a rocky relationship.

“Sadly, he’s made some wrong choices in his life,” Bouchard said of his son. “He’s almost become my estranged son. Some of the things that he’s got going on his life, I certainly don’t approve of them. But I’m not going to abandon him. I still love him. Just like when he was born.”

Bouchard has risen in prominence since he became the first Republican to announce a primary challenge to Liz Cheney after the congresswoman voted to impeach Donald Trump in the second impeachment trial for inciting an insurrection.

He plans to stay in the race even after the bombshell revelation.

“I’m going to stay in this race,” he said. “We’re going to continue to raise money because my record stands on its own.”
