Republican SC Rep. RJ May charged with distributing child sex abuse material
U.S. Magistrate Judge Shiva Hodges said Thursday that the weight of evidence against May is significant. She cited his international travels and the danger he possibly poses to himself, his two young children and to other children.
May was arrested at his West Columbia home Wednesday, roughly 10 months after his house was raided in August 2024 by U.S. Homeland Security Investigation agents, who seized various electronic devices, such as cellphones, hard drives, a CD and thumb drives.
May, who was shackled at his wrists and ankles at his first federal court appearance Thursday in Columbia, entered a plea of not guilty.

Well would you look at that! They actually put Republican in the title.
I don't have anywhere else to mention this, but last night I looked up one of my old Republican acquaintances (not that I've kept in touch with many) on Facebook to see what they were up to, and it turns out they are now five years into a thirty-year prison sentence for making kiddie porn.
Didn't expect that pattern to hit so close to home.
Damn ... I just did the same thing, and hit a similar record on the second person I looked up.
Republicans and pedophilia, name a more iconic duo.
"Small government fiscal conservatives" and spending more on cops oppressing anyone who's not a rich white cishet man in one city than most countries do on their military.
Catholic priests and pedophilia.
Oooo good point that one is indeed more iconic.
Republicans are pedophiles?! No fuckin way. Couldn’t have seen that coming, not possible. Republicans being pedophiles just wasn’t on my bingo card. Fuckin pedos.
I remember this guy. What a username.
The party of family values, amiright?
But what about the drag queens?
Sure looks like the Republican party is the party of pedophiles.
Grand Old Pedophiles
Guardian of Pedophiles
It's in the name GOP
There's NOTHING Wrong with what he did!
-The People who called Epstein an American Hero, voted for Epstein's BEST FRIEND twice for President, are EXCITED for Ghislaine Maxwell to go OUT on Work Release AND support making the LEGAL AGE OF ADULTHOOD 14! AKA LITERALLY EVERY REPUBLICAN!
Another Republican pedophile? Weird.
Expect conservatives to rally around him. Sick fucks.
His friends don't seem particularly pleased with him. We'll see I guess.
He got caught, it invites more attention on them. If I was trying to hide smoking weed from my parents and my best friend got caught smoking weed, I wouldnt be too thrilled with them either.
They want him around so they don't lose another CP source.
Wow, another Republican who is a sex offender… who would have guessed that?!
And he will still be reelected.
I swear, Biden lives rent free in all Republicans heads
Still not a drag queen
The laws haven’t changed for non-billionaires.
Another republican pedophile bringing the percentage up from 99.9999999% to 100%
The GOP is the bubble.
Group of Pedophiles
Or Pedo Party
PedoCons.
Really fine person! 🫲🍊🫱
Oh look, it's always the ones you most suspect. Republicans.
Usual suspects
Damn these Repedophileicans.
It’s always exactly the ones you think.
Guild of Pedophiles
Another one.
Add him to the VERY long list of PedoCons.
LMAO
Of course he's a pedophile, he's a MAGA. ALL conservatives are Pedophiles, no exception. If they aren't actively involved, they support those who are, and that's the same thing.
All MAGA Nazis are PedoCons.
Was he just running a Lemmy or matrix instance or??
If he was called RJ Maybe it would be impossible to definitely charge him with anything.
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
castration is the only solution.
A charge is not conviction. Also false convictions happen all the time. Castrating a man, guilty or not, is a punishment unfit for crime, as with physical mutilation or any kind or capital punishment. These sorts of punishments also leave zero room for rehabilitation as the punishment is permanent suffering.
honestly, i think a chomo deserves much worse than castration but permanent suffering for them does sound fitting.
I'm glad you read and considered my entire comment.
i don’t care what SA apologists have to say. you deserve just as much hate as they do.
That's interesting that that's what you took away from what I said. I'm not an apologist. Eternal suffering is what religious zealots believe wrongdoers deserve and I think lasting punishment is fuel rather than a deterrent. Do you think someone who had their testicles chopped off is going to find a consensual partner later in life? Or do you think they will have to resort to more SA to get laid?
Barbarism begets barbarism.
what’s interesting is the length you’d rather go to have a conversation about evil people. any and all nazis, rapists, and their apologists, deserve to be six feet under. that way they will never have to resort to anything and rather become fertilizer.
but sure, keep running to the defense of monsters. i’m sure it will work out for you and your loved ones.
