A former GOP state lawmaker who went by the screen name joebidennnn69 has pleaded guilty to distributing child sexual abuse material. Prosecutors say RJ May III, 38, who resigned from the South Carolina House of Representatives, "exchanged more than 200 explicit files of toddlers and young children on the Kik social media app during several days in spring 2024," Newsweek reports.
May changed his plea in the weeks ahead of his trial's scheduled start, signing court papers Friday. He acted as his own attorney despite not having a law degree, and has been in custody since June when a judge refused to grant him bond.
He reportedly learned that prosecutors planned to present the evidence in his trial, which was previously slated to begin next month. The former state representative asked the judge to throw out the warrant to search his residence, computer and mobile devices.
He will officially change his plea on Monday when he is scheduled to appear in federal court. May was elected in 2020 and helped found the South Carolina Freedom Caucus.

Don't believe me? Then find me one decent, honest Republican right now. Just one. I dare you.

This is why they can lie, steal, cheat, bugger kids...and it's all good in their world.

(53,166 posts)Just what, pray tell, did he expect them to do, perform an interpretive dance, stand mute before the court, expect the jury to pick up the vibes in the air? I mean, of course they were going to present evidence. My guess is the journalist meant the learned just what evidence was to be presented.

(160,898 posts)May signed court papers to change his plea several days after a hearing where prosecutors detailed how they will present their evidence at May's trial, which was scheduled to start next month. May, who does not have a law degree, is acting as his own attorney.
May asked the judge to throw out the warrant used to search his home, laptop and mobile devices. The judge had not issued a ruling on the request before May approached prosecutors about changing his plea.
The former lawmaker was also trying to keep out evidence about whether he used a fake name to travel to Colombia three times.
Prosecutors said he used Kik to ask for "Bad pre teens.
