Prosecutors also allegedly found videos on his laptop of him having sex with three underage girls from Colombia, none of whom were his wife. May allegedly used an account on the social media platform Mega to send messages to these girls that “consisted largely of arranging ‘meet up’ dates, time, price negotiations, and rules regarding the videoing of sexual encounters, all of which are indicative of sex work,” the court indictment against him stated.

Yo what the fuck? Why would the headline mention the lesser crime (unless there's an agenda)?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 8 hours ago

Holy shit. I scanned the first several paragraphs and didn't see this. Thanks for pointing it out!

I got this far and thought I had the meat of it:

The three-term, 38-year-old Republican allegedly used the screen name “joebidennnn69” to exchange 220 different files of toddlers and young children involved in sex acts on the Kik social media network during spring 2024, the Associated Press reported. He allegedly uploaded the explicit images and photos using his home wi-fi network and cellphone.

~~Fuck Joe Brandon~~ Fuck little children.

mega is a social media platform?

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 6 points 14 hours ago

Yes, because apparently you can purchase "social services" there

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, the headline is a bit... mild.

[–] breezeblock@lemm.ee 24 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Every accusation is a confession

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 5 points 14 hours ago

That's not really how it works, mate. He's still innocent until proven guilty.

After all, he's not gay, black or an opponent of Trump.

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Cue "Biden crime family" bullshit as well.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

used the screen name “joebidennnn69”

There it is! There's that pre-pubescent middle school energy I've come to expect from every male over the age of 18 in the Republican party.

Republicans are what I call the Peter Pan Party. Full of boys that never grew up.

And looking at the state of young men in this country, it's only going to get worse.
