Also-ran gubernatorial candidate Ray McBerry is back in the news, via Fox 5 News, for inviting an 18-year-old to wear a bikini for him in a supposed modeling shoot -- sparking a confrontation with the girl's mother.

You may recall McBerry, 46, was accused of an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old during his 2010 run for governor. The full Randy Travis story is here, including a Facebook message exchange between McBerry and 18-year-old Kayla Gooch. McBerry found Gooch through an intermediary named Tara O'Neill -- who may not exist -- and a McBerry-created "Girls of Dixie Modeling" company.
