Controversial Franklin mayoral candidate Gabrielle Hanson insisted she was being transparent when she took to social media Tuesday night to admit to having been arrested back in the 90s for promoting prostitution.
Hanson — who’s running a campaign with a morality-based, anti-LGBTQ message — posted the video hours after NewsChannel 5 Investigates texted her and asked her for comment on her criminal history.
But a NewsChannel 5 investigation discovered there appears to be a lot she left out of the story she chose to share with her followers — including suggestions that she was much more heavily involved with a Dallas escort service that police even knew her as having an alias.
Hanson’s version was that she was a naive young woman who took a job answering phone calls for what she thought was a modeling agency.
“I answered the phone. I took a name, I took a number and a date. At the end of my work session, I would call the owners and give them that information,” the Franklin alderman said in the video.
