As Early Voting in party primary runoff starts today, it looks like more bad news for Brad Namdar is just beginning.
Namdar lost his race to represent the Texas Republican Party in the 32nd Congressional District of Texas race after reports that Namdar has solicited sex from an escort in May 2021. Namdar denied the reports including on Mark Davis’ radio show.
Based on recent reporting in Current Revolt, those reports appear to be true and leading to possible criminal investigations.
Moreover, his denial there is no video to see is now gone.
Brad Namdar Allegations
When these allegations surfaced, Namdar was suspended from Texas Secretary of State Texas Businesses Against Trafficking Program.
At the time, Namdar was running against five other opponents in TX32 had been defiant over the charges he was solicitiing sex from an escort last year in the time period he was also playing kingmaker in the Dallas City Council race of Barry Wernick.
Namdar responded to the Texas Secretary of State saying he “complied with all applicable Federal and State human trafficking laws and regulations.” He also said “I also have no personal involvement with illegal sexual conduct or participation in the commercial sex industry.”
That statement was filed accompanied by an affidavit to the Texas Secretary of State making the statement a lie under oath, i.e. perjury.
We have reached out to the Texas Secretary of State office for comment who states “PRSB, LLC remains suspended from the TBAT program indefinitely.”
In addition to the sworn statement issue are two issues surrounding the act itself.
Namdar has consistently said he did not pay anyone for sex, but this appears refuted by the video provided by the escort to local media. This constitutes prostitution.
One person noted that Namdar uses the name “Brad Namdar” almost as a stagename for his legal name, Bardia Namdarkhan. They went on to say “now we can just call him John” – the term used for those who frequent prostitutes.
As importantly, there is an additional question about the second encounter. Given “Belle” only consented to have sex with Namdar under the premise she would be paid, consent would theoretically be removed if he did not pay her, making the encounter a sexual assault, or rape.
While one retired, local police officer said this might be a stretch, they also allowed that he could be charged with theft by deception.
The Dallas District Attorney Press Office would not confirm or deny an investigation was going on into allegations of rape, prostitution, or perjury, but there are indiciations charges may be filed.
To date, the Dallas Police Department has not responded to requests for comments about a potential investigation into the crimes listed above, but one source with city police and another with city government both said Dallas authorities are considering how to proceed.
These allegations follow issues with Namdar while a soccer coach with Dallas Independent School District and in his professional life.
As a coach with North Dallas High School, a recently graduated student claimed Brad Namdar touched her inappropriately. The same student stated Namdar once tried to pressure them into going into a school’s locker room with him on a Sunday evening. At the time, the student was seventeen.
After our initial posts about Namdar, two families approached us asking we not name them about similar situations. One was for a student who was sixteen at the time. The other was seventeen, but we could not verify this was the same person as the initial allegation.
All of this has occurred as Namdar claimed to be against human traficking and the sexual exploitation of children. We will also note that in the video above the escort Namdar sought out appears to be wearing a short school girl outfit contribnuting to the theory this is a fetish he enjoys.
Additionally, Namdar has also had issues with a previous law firm he employed. In 2016, he was accused of not paying $70,000 in legal fees. The case then went to court and after multiple appeals, Namdar’s former firm was awarded $1.3M.
Future Politics For Brad Namdar?
According to Current Revolt, Namdar responded in a phone conversation to them asking if staying out of politics was the price for keeping their story silent.
However, according to his Twitter profile he is still very active with party races and his “candidate.” He has also doubled down in social media in showing himself being supportive of his wife. It is unclear whether or not he has admitted to his behavior with her or not.
Brad Namdar Editor’s Note
On multiple occasions we have received emails from “person(s)” claiming to be independent saying Namdar was innocent and asking why Other Side Dallas was engaged in “wall to wall coverage” of these accusations.
The most recent page comment was last Monday, May 9, 2022. Prior to today we haven’t published anything about Mr. Namdar since February 2022.
It is unclear if Namdar allies were preemptively trying to avoid this disclosure, but there comments necessitated further investigation. Namdar did not respond to texts sent to him about the allegations during his run in TX32.
