Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign for Ohio governor has cut a man from a television advertisement after reports revealed he is a registered sex offender convicted of offences involving a child.
Vernon Edwards appeared in background footage of a property tax ad that centred on his wife, Patty, a farmer from Amherst. He pleaded guilty in 2006 to two counts of gross sexual imposition in a case involving a minor and was sentenced to eight years in prison.
