Kelly Jay Carter

Kelly Jay Carter was a fire battalion chief for the Salt Lake City Fire Department until his recent retirement. He worked for the fire department from 2000 to 2025.

He was arrested in February 2026 for purchasing and possessing child sexual abuse material. He was charged with ten felony counts sexual exploitation of a minor.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children got a tip from a crypto company reporting an account that purchased something from a wallet known to sell CSAM. The information was forwarded to the Utah Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force who interviewed Carter.

Carter admitted to buying a subscription to a CSAM service for one month and viewing it while he was at work. He claimed this was for one month only.

However, when they reviewed his phone they found hundreds of images, some going back to 2020. He is being held without bail. For some reason, his case does not appear on Utah’s XChange Case Search yet.

Tony Gonzales

Tony Gonzales is a U.S. representative from Texas. He had a affair with his aide Regina Santos-Aviles despite both of them being married. Consensual affairs between adults, whether adulterous or not, do not make someone a predator. An affair with an employee, however, is sexual misconduct and sexual harassment. He gave her a raise after the affair began meaning she earned thousands more than her colleagues. Moreover, how consensual is an affair when it’s with one’s boss?

Texts released by her husband show him demanding intimate pictures, asking for intimate sexual details and preferences, and being demanding despite her refusal and claims that he was going too far.

Her husband is no prize either. When he learned of the affair, he exposed her texts and had an affair with her best friend. Gonzalez, showing his character, said she killed herself because her husband was gay and having an affair with her best friend.

As to what sort of responsibility Gonzales may take, he said, “I have reconciled with my wife, Angel. I’ve asked God to forgive me, which he has. And my faith is as strong as ever.”

However, after being forced into a runoff in the primary, he decided not to run for re-election.

Carter Miles Ledoux

Carter Miles Ledoux of Lake Charles, Louisiana, is a member of a white supremacist group that the Department of Justice has identified as a Nihilist Violent Extremist (NVE) organization. After a minor girl expressed support for interracial relationships on social media, Ledoux allegedly led a conspiracy with the NVE group he belongs to to stalk, harass, threaten, and swat her and her family.

They made a phone call to the police claiming that someone in the home had pipe bombs and would kill anyone who came.

He was arrested by the FBI and charged with stalking, threatening, and “swatting” her and her family.

After his arrest, federal agents found child sexual exploitation material on his phone, material that even included toddlers. A subsequent indictment charged him with possession of child sexual abuse material.

While Ledoux does not appear to be registered to vote, his membership in a white supremacist NVE makes him part of the support groups that threaten Trump’s opposition and apply pressure in response to his Truth Social posts. They are his “shock troops” that he used for the January 6th insurrection and whom he will use in the future when he fears losing power. He may not be in a position of power or truth, but he and the white supremacist NVE are integral to the MAGA movement.

Both indictments are below.

Craig Scott Valdez

Craig Scott Valdez was Alaska state Sen. George Rauscher’s Chief of Staff since November, 2025, and had worked for him since 2021. He was also the Chair of the Anchorage Young Republicans. He has been removed from all positions since his arrest on four felony charges involving child sexual exploitation.

Valdez has been charged with sex trafficking, child exploitation and production of child sexual abuse material, or CSAM — formerly referred to as child pornography — coercion and enticement of a minor, and receipt of CSAM.

He is alleged to have enticed a 15-year-old girl to his home to celebrate his birthday. Her sibling told her mother who used a tracking app to drive to his home and stop him. When she got to his home, she heard her daughter say she wanted to go home. She went in and found her daughter so drunk she had difficulty walking and remaining conscious. She slapped Vasquez and called the police but Valdez ran off before they arrived.

The mom took screenshots of the messages between the girl and Valdez. The police believe this was not the first time he exploited the girl. They also believe there are other children he has abused. The FBI identified eleven other possible victims whom he sought to engage in commercial sex and to create child sexual exploitation material at his direction.

He is being held without bail and has pled not guilty.

Paul Havsgaard

Paul Havsgaard is a former pastor at Harvest Christian Fellowship megachurch, of Riverside, California, a church closely associated with Turning Point USA, the arch-conservative organization founded by Charlie Kirk dedicated to recruiting college students to support MAGA candidates, particularly Trump. Erika Kirk kicked off a TPUSA national tour at Harvest Christian Fellowship in January, 2026.

He is alleged to have sexually abused and trafficked young children at orphanages the church operated in Romania. Twenty-two men and women allege they were physically and sexually abused while they were children under his care. They also allege Harvest Christian Fellowship failed to fulfill their duty to protect the children, waiting twenty years before telling the police about Havsgaard, despite being informed of the abuse by children, their family members, employees and visitors to the orphanages, and even other pastors.

Shawn DeRemer

Shawn DeRemer is the president of an anesthesia company in Oregon and the husband of Trump Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. He is currently banned from her workplace due to allegations that he has sexually assaulted women who work there.

One woman filed a police complaint of unwanted sexual contact and another woman has alleged that he sexually assaulted her. The allegations were surfaced during an investigation of Secretary Chavez-DeRemer’s behavior with her own staff.

The US Attorney’s Office determined there was “no evidence of a crime.” The US Attorney for DC is Jeanine Pirro

One of the incidents was captured on a security camera. DeRemer is seen given a woman an unusually long, extended embrace. I think most women will perceive that differently than most men.

Wesley Dingus

Wesley Dingus was the Republican Mayor of Butler, Ohio. He resigned in late February, 2026, shortly after his arrest for voyeurism. He was filmed sniffing a minor girl’s panties while rubbing himself. And not just once.

A video showing an adult man going through a child’s bedroom and sniffing her underwear was sent to Children’s Services and they called the Sheriff’s office to report it.

When the child was interviewed she said she was suspicious that he was going in her room and set up a camera to find out. She discovered he went into her room about fifteen minutes after she left for school. He did the same the next day, smelling her worn underwear and rubbing himself.

Another girl in the home believes he did the same in her room, though there is no video. She noticed her underwear moved from the bottom of the basket to the top. After reviewing the video, they charged Dingus with voyeurism.

He also has several charges for some vigilantism when he allegedly drove over a man who was wanted for violating parole

Wesley Dingus

Wesley Dingus was the mayor of Butler, Ohio. He resigned after his recent arrest for voyeurism. He was also arrested in August, 2025, for running over a person wanted for a parole violation.

Dingus was filmed sniffing at least four pieces of a minor girl’s underwear and touching himself. She had suspected him of going in her room, catching him there when she came back after leaving for school. She put in a camera that filmed him in the act.

A second minor girl in the same home claimed she suspected the same thing as her dirty laundry had been rearranged, her underwear no longer at the bottom, but on the top. She said she would feel safer if he were not in the home.

He has pled not guilty and is out on $10,000 bond, wearing an ankle monitor, and ordered not to contact the accuser.
