A Republican member of South Carolina's state house who prosecutors say used the screen name "joebidennnn69" has been arrested and charged with 10 counts of distributing sexual abuse material involving children. RJ May was arrested at his Lexington county home after a lengthy investigation and was ordered on Thursday by a federal judge to remain jailed until his trial. The three-term Republican is accused of using "joebidennnn69" to exchange 220 files of toddlers and young children involved in sex acts on the Kik social media network for about five days in spring 2024, according to court documents that graphically detailed the videos. During that timeframe, Joe Biden was in the final year of his presidency before May's fellow Republican Donald Trump won the November 2024 election to return to the White House in January. |

He also helped the campaigns of Republicans running against the party's house incumbents. "We as legislators have an obligation to insure that our children have no harm done to them," May said in January 2024 on the house floor during a debate on transgender care for minors. Comments
