Former Diamondhead city councilman pleads guilty to sex crimes against minor
SUMMARY: Former Diamondhead city councilman, Alan Moran, aged 36, pleaded guilty to solicitation/exploitation of a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. This follows an incident where Moran inappropriately approached a 17-year-old male employee during a work trip on February 14, 2022. The minor reported feeling uncomfortable after Moran encouraged sexual activity and tried to touch him. Moran, having purchased alcohol for the minor, was later apprehended by the teen’s parents and police, leading to his arrest and charges. He is due for sentencing on February 16, with two charges dropped from the initial indictment.

SUMMARY: Republican Senator Roger Wicker has successfully defeated Democratic challenger Ty Pinkins in Mississippi’s U.S. Senate race. This victory marks Wicker’s fourth election win since he first assumed office in 2007. As the current ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Wicker could become its chair if Republicans gain a Senate majority. Pinkins, who ran an active campaign but struggled with financial backing, previously lost the 2023 election for Mississippi Secretary of State. He is a military veteran and Georgetown Law graduate, challenging Wicker after being unopposed in the Democratic primary election.
