A homeless former choirboy has claimed that then Baptist minister Mike Huckabee had oral sex with him in exchange for food, blankets and ‘hugs’ in the winter of 1985, the Mexican media reported today. Ernie Belmont, now 38, says that Huckabee ‘would show up after church and offer Kinder Surprises to let him suck us off’. Experts say that although closet paedophiles often use such techniques to lure children into performing indecent sexual acts, it is uncommon for them to be the ‘giver’, as opposed to the ‘receiver’. “We could have gotten him to give us whatever we wanted, even Transformers,” says Belmont. “He even asked for us to remove his glass eye and have sexual intercourse with his eye socket, but we refused.” The effects of this information on the upcoming US presidential primary elections is not yet known and neither the Huckabee nor the Ron Paul campaigns have commented.
