Unfortunately, some have conveniently forgotten that if Jefferson Parish's Sexual Predator-In-Chief Mike Yenni was a teacher, or a priest, or a businessman, or anything except a politically-connected Parish President with folks in high places still owing allegiance (and favors) to his uncle and grandfather, Yenni would have been fired, jailed, or, at least, ostracized.
So, as rumors continue to swirl that Yenni will be seeking re-election next year, is holding fundraisers and working behind the scenes to support candidates like Jefferson Parish School Board candidate Colleen Winkler (who will then owe him and overturn the "Yenni Ban" and allow him to attend public school functions), I thought it would be interested to post the names of individuals and businesses that are supporting Mike Yenni financially and have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Mike Yenni AFTER Yenni's sexting scandal with a teenage, high school boy was publicized.
To briefly recap, in October 2016, it was disclosed that Mike Yenni sent several sexually graphic text messages to a 17-year-old high school student. Yes, I know the "Age of Consent" in Louisiana is 17 but, just because that fact may not make it illegal according to our state, that doesn't make it right. I'm also relatively certain that, before he began sexting and calling the teenage boy, Mike Yenni didn't ask him for ID to verify his age.
In addition to frequent sexts and explicit calls, Yenni stalked the teenage boy at his job, bought him gifts, asked the boy to model underwear for him, followed the boy into a public restroom and fondled and kissed him, suggested that he and the teenage boy engage in a homosexual threesome with another teenage boy, suggested that he and the teenage boy drive to Mississippi and engage in homosexual relations, and, as Mayor of Kenner, suggested that the teenage boy take a job in the Yenni Administration so the two could be close without drawing suspicion.
And, while this teenage boy showed character by coming forward, unfortunately he did not want his life put into further turmoil and didn't want to put his college career on hold to appear at a trial.
Basic Psychology also tells us that, this clearly wasn't an isolated incident.
Yenni's own past reveals a history of sexually explicit texts and emails to several homosexual partners and at least one woman. These emails and sexts were sent on city-owned equipment while Yenni was Kenner's Deputy CAO under Mayor Ed Muniz.. The FBI investigated these emails and texts after Yenni claimed that he was being blackmailed by a political opponent. No charges were ever filed and, while the FBI claimed they would publicly release their investigation and the evidence (the emails and texts). 8 years later, they still have not - although many people in Kenner (myself included) have seen the evidence.
The rumors surrounding Yenni were so prevalent that Yenni's future father-in-law requested Yenni take a polygraph test before marrying his daughter. Yenni somehow managed to rig the test and the test administrator who conveniently was given a job later in Kenner's Code Enforcement Department, despite being 70+ years old and having no experience in Code or the trades that Code inspects.
So, after all this and the continued embarrassment that Yenni has reaped on Jefferson Parish, who could possibly support him and contribute financially to his possible re-election campaign? You may be surprised to read that your friends, neighbors, business associates, and companies you or your company may be doing business with are all lining up to give Mike Yenni money.
