| RJ May faces up to 20 years in federal prison, a fine of $250,000, and at least five years of supervised release to follow any term of imprisonment. |
Anti Transgender South Carolina State Legislator and "Freedom Caucus" founder Republican RJ May, 38, pleaded guilty Friday to avoid a trial on charges that he distributed videos of child pornography.
Prosecutors say May exchanged more than 200 explicit files of toddlers and young children on the Kik social media app during several days in spring 2024.
May resigned from the South Carolina House of Representatives last month.
May told the House in January 2024 regarding transgender issues and children: "We as legislators have an obligation to insure that our children have no harm done to them"
In January 2024, the South Carolina House of Representatives debated and passed a bill prohibiting medical professionals from performing gender-transition surgeries or prescribing puberty blockers and hormone treatments to minors.
This as it comes to light that Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson would prefer a government shutdown than allowing a House vote on releasing the Epstein Files that could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump is a pedophile.
