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.
I thought it was pretty widespread information, I guess not.
It’s CSAM or child sexual abuse material, or just child abuse images. The article gets it right after the headline.
“Child porn” legitimizes/justifies it to the users and abusers and has connotation with consent.
I’ve never thought about it that way before, but I like your thinking, actually.
I also like using the term CSAM, because IYKYK & if any children are listening it ought to go right over their heads.
