Overview
- The Perry campaign released a paid attack ad that displays a document labeled “AFFIDAVIT” and alleges Democrat Janelle Stelson exposed herself to a neighbor’s child.
- Local outlets reported the document is a notarized written statement from a neighbor and not an official law‑enforcement affidavit.
- East Pennsboro Township police confirmed officers responded to a summer complaint but declined to release records and no criminal charges were filed.
- The neighbor who made the allegation says she photographed the incident, but no photo has been produced publicly and Perry’s campaign says it does not have the image.
- Stelson denies the claim, is considering a defamation suit, and her campaign highlighted that the notarized statement was signed by a notary with Republican ties as evidence of partisan motive in a tight rematch.
