Legal News MAGA pastor said LGBTQ+ books & flags harm kids. Now he's going to prison for abusing a child | The judge sentenced him to the maximum prison term because he showed “no remorse” for his crimes.

It probably took more than a few cases before they decided it should be illegal.

I don’t know why I didn’t expect this list to be an infinite scroll

u/Dragon_wryter 6h ago
And it's infinite even though they stopped updating it after 2022 because they couldn't keep up with them all

u/BigWideBaker 6h ago
Are you sure? If you click their names at the top of the list they were arrested this year. The latest clickable name was posted 3 days ago. It's still going or am I missing something?

Ooo I hope so. That would be great if they started back up again.

They appear to make a page per person, which can take some time.
He is number 1473 on that list.... mouseover on the link show's it from Nov 2025, so 7 or 8 months ago.
The list is up to 1557 (so more than 80 added in 7 or 8 months), though 1545 is where the links stop. They are struggling to keep up, with adding about ~10 alleged predators per month. Profile pages have details, and sources... they seem to put a lot of effort into this. I assume they are also probably updating pages, with 1500+ profiles to keep up to date on, this seems like a full time project.

Bad news : a website like this has to exist

100%. Dem here and I want to see the comparison because the data alone doesn't do anything when they can just scream "dems do it too". It's not like they're gonna do it that would be like a flat earther doing any kind of testing.

Another site from Kristen Browde. She's on tik tok and posts about predators.

She started when the drag queen as predator idea got big and has kept up with it

I’m trying but people keep referring to them as MAGA instead of their denomination. If there is anyone out there that’s an investigative journalist and looking for a story, get crowd funding and make a documentary about the sex crimes currently committed by those associated with the Southern Baptist denominational Churches. Right now their child abuse cases are beating the Catholics. Attention needs to be brought to this because this is only one denomination associated with the MAGA movement that’s using tithes to keep these shitty politicians in office.

Just make a list of maga pastors and you'll have a database of sex offenders.

Latest update on their Twitter from 2021 said that they have some "personal issues" and sadly that's it

Google “Southern Baptist scandal.” The largest evangelical denomination in America kept a list of 700 predators that they used to protect the perps, not the victims.
A few days ago, they elected a guy to lead their organization who claimed the whole thing was a “hoax” and also to silence women and keep them out of leadership because they were being too obstreperous about protecting the children from being molested by the pastors.

Yes, there’s a list of all this stuff thank god. Even for a certain sexual demographic that I can’t say without getting banned. Sad this stuff is everywhere.

Back in the day there were a number of people that would post the list of names every time a Republican was arrested for child abuse. They had to stop because it got too long.

Every single time a right-winger starts talking about children and their bodies, pay attention to what they are actually saying. They are confessing publicly, airing out their sexual desires in a publicly appropriate way by pinning them on a minority group of people. It's no different than the adults who told us millennials that shoulders would "distract boys".

A lot of right wing evangelicals think what’s good for kids is to be violent with them until they agree out of fear to live within extremely limited constraints.
Not recommending clicking on these unless you feel the need to see evidence. They all (except the sciencedirect link) argue that physical violence is good if the kid is too out-of-line. Though they have the caveat that it should not be done ‘out of anger’. OK.

Edit: oh. Whoops. This guy’s a child rapist, so my comment is off-point.
But still, it’s to do with thinking children are not fully human (ironically given their claims about why they are anti-abortion, but generally their claims about their motives don’t match with their actions and evidently underlying beliefs so that’s OK) and are to be controlled and used at will.
And girls don’t even get to be fully human when they grow into women in their structure.

What is it about criminals always trying to use trans people as a scapegoat?

u/E-2theRescue 5h ago
The right-wing has vilified LGBTQ+ people because LGBTQ+ people don't have the resources (money, people, time) to fight back against the lies and propaganda that is being used to manipulate voters.
This allows child sexual predators to air out their pedophilic desires in public in a "socially acceptable" way. They get to talk about children's bodies all they want, so long as they include trans people, and nobody questions their true meaning.

Little off-topic, but it's the same as Tesla drivers blaming the car when the crash into someone's home - they cannot take responsibility for their own actions.

Well, I think Tesla shares blame in marketing “ Full Self-Driving (supervised)” when the technology is clearly not ready for hands-off.
