Former South Carolina state lawmaker Robert John "RJ" May III has agreed to plead guilty to distributing child sexual abuse material. Prosecutors say May used the screen name "joebidennnn69 on the social media site Kik as he exchanged 220 images of very young children being abused over a period of five days in spring 2024. The 38-year-old Republican, who is married with two children, served the 88th District from November 2020 until his resignation last month. He faces 20 years in prison for each of the five counts with which he is charged. In addition, he must register as a sex offender and must pay a fine that could be as high as $250,000.
