U.S. Magistrate Judge Shiva Hodges said Thursday that the weight of evidence against May is significant. She cited his international travels and the danger he possibly poses to himself, his two young children and to other children.
May was arrested at his West Columbia home Wednesday, roughly 10 months after his house was raided in August 2024 by U.S. Homeland Security Investigation agents, who seized various electronic devices, such as cellphones, hard drives, a CD and thumb drives.
May, who was shackled at his wrists and ankles at his first federal court appearance Thursday in Columbia, entered a plea of not guilty.
I don’t have anywhere else to mention this, but last night I looked up one of my old Republican acquaintances (not that I’ve kept in touch with many) on Facebook to see what they were up to, and it turns out they are now five years into a thirty-year prison sentence for making kiddie porn.
Didn’t expect that pattern to hit so close to home.
Damn … I just did the same thing, and hit a similar record on the second person I looked up.
