RJ May, a state representative in South Carolina, voted for anti-trans legislation, and then piously declared that
We as legislators have an obligation to insure that our children have no harm done to them.
He was declared Legislator of the Year in 2023 by Moms for Liberty, and was vice chair of the Freedom Caucus. He was a true conservative hero.
Unknown to everyone, though, he had set up an account on KiK, an instant messaging app popular because you don’t have to provide email addresses or phone numbers to sign up, which gives a nice illusion of anonymity. However, if someone uses the service for criminal activity, the police can get the IP addresses used by posters and trace them back to the person.
Guess who was swapping hundreds of images and videos of child pornography under the username joebidennnn69
? You guessed it, I’m sure.
RJ May was arrested at his Lexington County home after a lengthy investigation and was ordered Thursday by a federal judge to remain jailed until his trial.
The three-term Republican is accused of using “joebidennnn69” to exchange 220 different files of toddlers and young children involved in sex acts on the Kik social media network for about five days in spring 2024, according to court documents that graphically detailed the videos.
Each charge carries a five-to-20 year prison sentence upon conviction and prosecutors suggested May could spend over a decade in prison if found guilty.
The files were uploaded and downloaded using May’s home Wi-Fi network and his cellphone, prosecutors said. Some were hidden by the use of a private network but others were directly linked to his internet addresses.
He is claiming that he didn’t do it, that someone stole his wifi password. Except…
Prosecutors said they also investigated whether May used a fake name to travel to Colombia three times after finding videos on his laptop of him allegedly having sex with three women. An agent from the Department of Homeland Security testified the women appeared to be underage and were paid. U.S. agents have not been able to locate the women.
Prosecutors said May created a Facebook account with his fake name and his internet history showed him switching between his real account and the fake one and even searching his primary opponent from the fake login.
He is currently being held without bail.
Prosecutors asked that May, 38, not be given bail because he lives at home with his wife and young children, and some of the files he is accused of sharing feature children of about the same age as his.
Every accusation is a confession.
So he cheats on his wife, uses child porn and has sex with under-aged foreign persons. Right-wingers don’t care. We’ve been through this again and again. They just don’t seem able to process the concept of hypocrisy.
So focus the story on the likelihood that he is a secret liberal.
He manages to tick all the boxes for hypocrisy, meaning… he might be in the primaries for the next Republican presidential election. Nominally you cannot run if you are a felon, but who cares about “rules” anymore?

Mike Lee would claim that RJ May was always a Marxist.
Next up, the GOP begins advocating to reform “age of consent” laws to protect such wonderful people from prosecution.
If you don’t sin, Jesus died for nothing. Checkmate atheists!

I would say it was 3 girls then.

Republicans have had a history of opposing raising the minimum age for marriage.

Sulphur exchange? Brimstone exchange?

You don’t need to be a railway worker to know where this train is going. Also, here’s nice friendly chart of Republican pedophiles caught this year.
Nobody says “think of the children” unless they’re really “thinking of the children.”
drew, you just now said it; it follows that if your claim is true, you’re really “thinking of the children.”
(If not, it was a falsehood; bad claim either way, for you)
@12. drew :
Maude Flanders? (Under a minute long.)
John Morales@13,
drew didn’t say “think of the children”, he wrote it. Really, you’ll lose your pedant’s licence if you’re not careful :-p
