Rent-a-Husband founder Kaile Warren, who faced charges of securities fraud that were ultimately dropped, is looking to serve on the Windham Town Council.
Warren previously served on the council from June 2007 to December 2008 and now is seeking to fill a spot left vacant by the death of Peter Busque, according to the Portland Press Herald. Warren in 2009 was indicted on three counts of securities violations related to his handyman business, but the state dropped the charges earlier this year when he agreed to repay investors $2 million. Warren then sued Portland law firm Preti Flaherty, which at one time represented him, as well as law firm Marcus, Clegg & Mistretta and Ace Hardware.
Warren told councilors his legal troubles should not be a consideration on whether he can serve again as a town councilor. If appointed, Warren would serve from January until November.
