1422: Brad Namdar

Cajsa Lilliehook1 Comment

Brad Namdar was a GOP primary candidate contending for US House District 32, He made trafficking his key campaign issue after already making a reputation as an anti-trafficking crusader. However, a sex worker reported he twice solicited her for sex and the second time, he didn’t pay her. He was also reported for touching a high school student on the bottom when he was working as a teacher and soccer coach. The girl did not report this until she graduated high school.

An anti-trafficking advocate soliciting a sex worker is hypocrisy, but would not put Namdar on this list. Except, he didn’t pay. Additionally, he is accused of inappropriately touching and harassing a minor student.

A teacher was at a football game when some students called him over. One young woman, a recent graduate, said that Namdar had contacted her on Facebook. She was uncomfortable and uncertain what to do. She reported two inappropriate instances, one asking her to meet him in the locker room on a Sunday evening. Another time he is alleged to have touched her inappropriately. She was a minor at the time.

Namsar sued, claiming defamation. He lost his case and he lost his appeal.

1421: Johnny Hunt

Johnny Hunt

Johnny Hunt was the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Woodstock, Georgia for thirty-three years. He was one of the pastors who supported Franklin Graham’s Day of Prayer in support of Donald Trump. During that time, he served as president of the Southern Baptist Convention. After retiring from his church, he served as a Senior Vice President at the North American Mission Board, an arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, until his resignation after he was named in an investigation of sexual abuse in the Southern Baptist churches.

During the investigation, a pastor and his wife came forward to report that Johnny Hunt had sexually assaulted her. Hunt admitted the incident happened, but claimed it was consensual. Even more than that, he claimed she seduced him and that he fondled her because she came on to him. The interview is unintentionally hilarious when his parsing of adultery and sexual abuse led to the interviewer asking if that meant Bill Clinton did not commit adultery and his lawyer objecting to the question.

Currently, he is suing the Southern Baptist Convention, Guidepost, the woman who reported her assault, and the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention. He sued for $100 million. A judge has dismissed all but one of his claims, leaving only a tweet that he claims is defamatory.

After his suit, the woman he is alleged to have assaulted came forward to recount what happened for herself and to speak to why so many abuse survivors do not come forward. “The risk is obvious, the chance for justice obscure.”

Le’Veon Bell

Le’Veon Bell is a former NFL player who endorsed Trump, threatening to leave the country if Kamala Harris were elected. His misogyny was on loud and open display as he insulted Harris while rallying for a serial adulterer, adjudicated rapist, and sexual predators. Bell joined Trump in being adjudicated a rapist in March 2025. Also someone found guilty of child sexual abuse and incest.

He and his brother La’Vonte were accused of sexually abusing his cousin, a crime of child sexual abuse and incest. She said they began abusing her when she was just six or seven years old and the abuse continued until she was seventeen, four years after Bell was already in the NFL. He and his brother refused to show up for the trial and she was awarded a default judgment. The jury awarded her $25 million from Le’Veon and $11 million from La’Vonte. He proclaims he is innocent and that no one told him he was being sued or due in court. He claims he had no idea and didn’t live where the certified mail was delivered even though he is registered to vote their and has been served by creditors there. The Columbus Dispatch did a thorough investigation of that claim.

The woman filed a complaint with the police in 2022, two years before she filed her civil complaint. The police did nothing.

Antonio Brown
after speaking at Trump 2024 rally

Antonio Brown is a former NFL player who spoke on behalf of Donald Trump for President and attacked Kamala Harris because women are too emotional. He was accused of sexual assault and rape by his former trainer. They reached a settlement but the terms have not been disclosed.

According to her complaint, he assaulted her twice, kissing her without consent, exposing himself, and ejaculating on her back while she was facing away from him. She quit working for him. After time passed, he apologized, asked forgiveness, and asked her to come back to work, promising he would not attempt anything of a sexual nature. She went back to work and claims he raped her violently while she loudly protested.

An artist was hired to paint a mural for him but she quit after he exposed himself and harassed her. In another incident, he was filmed exposing himself at a hotel in Dubai.

More recently, he is wanted for attempted murder but is not in the United States so he cannot be arrested.

Carlton Huffman

Carlton Huffman is a former GOP campaign consultant who worked for Republican campaigns in Wisconsin, Georgia, and North Carolina. He worked as the Grassroots Director for the Wisconsin Republican Party until December 2020, though, despite the likely effect on his career, he denied the voter fraud and stolen election claims that are now party dogma. In 2021, he moved on to work for an anti-choice organization in Wisconsin and, in 2022, for Herschel Walker’s campaign for Senate in Georgia.

While working for the Walker campaign, he sued CPAC Director Matt Schlapp for sexuallly assaulting him. Schlapp settled for $480,000. Ironically, two women, accused Huffman of assaulting them in February 2023.

According to the police report, they had all been drinking at Huffman’s home on Valentine’s Day. After midnight, the two women went upstairs to go to bed and Huffman followed them and, they claim, sexually assaulted them. He claims it was consensual, but they claim he had shown them a gun earlier, leaving it out downstairs. That, and his being twice their age intimidated them into compliance, but they then called the police who classified his actions as forcible fondling.

One of the two women, who was 19, was granted a one-year restraining order while the other, who was 22, was given a 10-day restraining order. No criminal charges were filed.

With Trump running again in 2024, Huffman left the GOP and became an Independent, though he is supporting Nancy Mace (R) for South Carolina Governor. He is another of the-party-left-me orphans of Trumpism.

The clipping below is about another story where Huffman exposed a very disturbing voter suppression tactic, but it also includes a bit of background that deals with the sexual assault charge.

1417: Scott Finkbeiner

Scott Finkbeiner

Derek Scott Finkbeiner was the Sheriff of Hot Springs County in Arkansas. While sheriff, Finkbeiner warned a local drug dealer that federal investigators were investigating the dealer, even pointing out where they had placed a surveillance camera. He is also alleged to have smoked meth while in uniform. He was also accused of coercing an informant to smoke meth and perform sex acts on him. He was arrested by the FBI in November, 2023. He remained in office during the ongoing investigation against him.

During the investigation, Finkbeiner repeatedly reached out to the investigation team for information. He told the investigation that they should stop looking into the dealer as they were impeding his own investigation. He said there was no drug dealing at the location of the dealer’s home.

Finkbeiner pleaded guilty to a federal charge of falsifying, concealing, misleading information in the FBI’s investigation into drug activity in his county. The feds dropped five other charges. They asked the judge to sentence him for up to ten years, far more than the usual sentence, but explained that his actions were “shocking and grievous” and said he did more for his drug dealer than he did for the people of Hot Springs County.

He also pleaded guilty to two state charges, misuse of the crime database and sexual solicitation (ignoring the element of coercion.) He was sentenced to six months for the state charges to run concurrently with the federal sentence which has not been handed down yet.

Mike Maroney

Mike Maroney is a former West Virginia State Senator who served from 2016 to 2024. He is also a radiologist. He lost his primary in 2024 due to his political courage, holding some medically sound but unpopular (with Republican voters) positions in support of vaccines and medical interventions such as hormone treatment for transgender people. He was removed from his position of chair of the Health and Human Resources Committee after his arrest for indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.

He was seen masturbating in the video game room at Gumby’s Cigarette & Beer World. He was seen to be breathing heavily when he came for change and this prompted the women to look at the camera on the game room where they saw him masturbating. They called the police.

He pleaded guilty in June, 2025. He was sentenced to time served and a $250 fine. He still has additional charges to address from a subsequent arrest for DUI.

Kurt Schenk

Kurt W. Schenk was a city councilman for Coatesville, Pennsylvania as well as pastor of a local church. A local blogger wrote up a history of his public activities wondering why local media like The Coatsville Times were not covering his arrest for sexually assaulting a woman who is intellectually disabled. It’s a valid question given his standing in the community as a pastor and former councilman.

Under the guise of driving her home, he is alleged to have taken her to his home, forced her to the ground, and sexually assaulted her in the garage. He was caught in the act when her sister interrupted him, having tracked the woman on an app and seeing she was far from home.

His trial is scheduled for September, 2025.

Timothy Thomas Christensen McGhee

Timothy Thomas Christensen McGhee was the Republican candidate for House District 45 in 2012 and for Senate District 30 in 2011.

In January, 2025, he was arrested and charged with stalking and taking liberties with a child.

According to police, he initiated an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student at the school where he worked as a substitute teacher. Police believe there may be additional victims as he volunteered with a church’s youth groups and also served as a sub in area school districts.

The victim was sixteen and he was forty-five when he began grooming her, working as her math tutor after school. He gave her notes citing Biblical references telling her she seemed the perfect kind of Christian woman to be his wife. She performed oral sex on him several times and he even took her on a trip out of state. She provided the police with photos, texts, and other documentation.

Trial is set for September 29, 2025.
