Rocky Hayes was the Chair of the Jones County Republican Party in South Dakota. He was charged with possessing Child Sexual Abuse Material. He had a video in his DropBox and a conscientious employee alerted authorities. He was charged with 5 counts but now pleads no contest to just one count. Sentencing still to come. He is #990 on my list.
Here is an article on his plea: https://www.siouxfallslive.com/news/sioux-falls/former-gop-official-pleads-no-contest-to-possessing-child-porn-videos
Sen. Roy Holmberg of Grand Forks, ND, was one of the most powerful politicians in North Dakota. He served longer than anyone else and chaired the Appropriations Committee. Then a trafficker of child sexual abuse material was arrested for attempting to traffick a child. More than 70 text messages with Holmberg were discovered. He resigned and invented implausible reasons for the connection and retained his influence, hosting fundraisers, etc. Finally, though, he has pled guilty in an agreement that dismisses the CSAM and other charges while he pleads guilty to one charge of traveling a foreign country to sexually abuse a child.
He is 758 on my Republican Sexual Predators site.
I posted my 52nd Daily Kos diary of Republican Predators.
These are 1276 to 1300
