A South Carolina Republican lawmaker — who once preached about the importance of safeguarding children from unnecessary harm — is accused of distributing more than 200 files of child pornography online while using the screen name “joebidennnn69,” federal prosecutors alleged.

Robert “RJ” May, 38, a member of the House of Representatives in the Palmetto State, was arrested at his Lexington County home Wednesday on a 10-count indictment charging him with distributing child sex abuse material, court documents showed.

The married father of two used “joebidennnn69” and several other user names to exchange 220 obscene files containing extremely graphic footage of children and toddlers engaged in sex acts on the messaging app Kik over five days last spring, federal prosecutors alleged.

    Circus shit. Dude used multiple names but the headline is Biden and they even have a picture of him. Plus this rag hijacks my back button so it’s harder to come back to Lemmy on my phone.

    Also:

    May allegedly kept several videos of himself on trips to Colombia engaging in sex with three women who appeared to be underage and were paid, a DHS official testified.

    I like that they included a picture of Biden. Him having the same name as the guys username really makes a meaningful connection. I had forgotten what biden looks like. /s

    Ugh. I dont say this often, but I make an exception for pedos getting caught:

    Yay for law enforcement catching this guy and I hope he is sentenced to the longest prison term the law can hold him to. If they wanted to use their armored vehicles and military assault tactics to raid his house and haul this guy in with ankle chains, today I’m not going to complain.

      I just find it amazing that they always manage to arrest republican pedophiles calmly, respectfully, without any harm or escalation.

      But random peasants pulled over for no reason and following every unhinged command and order from Sgt.Steroid Overdose have a very real, very possible chance to be brutalized or be murdered.

      If they only get to use their toys in specific cases, they’ll pretend it’s always that case.

      Right now the key words are “insurrectionist” and “terrorist” and “illegals”. They say the keyword, they suddenly get the loopholes.

      It wouldn’t be a stretch to say they suspected “illicit” materials just so they could gear up for their hero LARP.

    At first I misread that as “RJ MAY Distribute hundreds of child porn files” as in, he was allowed to because of some loophole

    What? A republican pedo? I am shocked. Who knew that republicans were sick child molesters. This is so out of character, and a complete anomaly. /S

      Listen, I hate to defend republicans here, but your comment implies that all of them are pedophiles and that’s just not true. They all may be fucked up in some way or another, but even republicans dislike pedophiles.

        I think the comment is just calling out that one political party seems to have a lot more pedos than the other based on who has been arrested over the past … Idk let’s just say decade or so.

        Obviously we all know not all Republicans are pedophiles but they sure as hell seem to harbor way more of them than Dems and it’s not even slander it’s just true.

    Anyone know that massive list of the Republican pedophiles that was being compiled? Was it Slate that was doing the list? I’ve forgot and long lost the link. It was huge though. Like a 1000 names at least at the time.

      I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: I believe in due process, so any Republican making a lot of noise about protecting children should in, a just world, at least be probable cause for a search warrant.
