Alisha Marie George

Alisha Marie George was a middle-school teacher at a STEM-focused charter school in northern Utah. She also coached volleyball. She was charged with 22 criminal charges involving the grooming and sexual abuse of a former student who has since called her a monster. Other students have come forward so there may be additional charges.

At the time of her original appearance, she was charged with attempted rape and four counts of forcible sodomy, first-degree felonies; 12 counts of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony; distributing pornographic material, a third-degree felony; and four counts of unlawful kissing of a child, a class A misdemeanor.

According to the documents, the student was struggling as his mother was bedridden and George volunteered to help, driving him to and from school. She exploited this time with the child to groom and sexually abuse him. He was in 7th and 8th grade and saw her as a sort of ‘mother figure.’

She is being held without bail.

Scott James Rocky

Scott James Rocky was a border agent in Michigan for over seventeen years. He frequently reposted rightwing memes. Ironically, he shared a news story about Steven Hoffenberg’s death. Hoffenberg was Jeffrey Epstein’s mentor and banker. He pleaded guilty to possessing child sexual abuse imagery.

Scott has a forty-year history of serving with the National Guard, the Transportation Security Administration and Customs and Border Protection. Nonetheless, after his arrest for possessing and distributing child sexual abuse imagery, he was held without bail due to his efforts to delete files and hide evidence from FBI investigators. The prosecutor emphasized that Rocky had reason to flee and also lived next to two schools where he could pose a risk to children.

Investigators found over four thousand images of children between four and ten years old who were sexually abused and exploited to create sexual abuse imagery. He also distributed over five hundred files to the FBI’s undercover agent.

He pleaded guilty to one charge, with the others dismissed. His sentencing will be in March 2026.

Jeannette Garcia

Jeannette Garcia is a Republican member of the Avondale, Arizona, city council. She was also a staff member for Turning Point USA, the extreme conservative organization founded by Charlie Kirk. While she has not been criminally charged, she has been accused of kidnapping a man’s 14-year-old daughter after the man rebuffed her sexual advances.

The lawsuit has been filed anonymously. According to the suit, the plaintiff, Father John Doe, worked under Garcia’s supervision on a Turning Point USA team last November. After the election, the team went out to celebrate. There, the plaintiff alleges that Garcia made remarks suggesting they have sex and even dangled a job at TPUSA as incentive. As the drinking continued, she became more aggressive and he left.

When he got home, he discovered his daughter was missing. Deputies told him that Garcia had his daughter and she was safe. She had told his daughter that she was afraid he was going to be violent with her because he was so drunk, so his daughter went with Garcia. She is also accused of manipulating sheriff’s deputies to assist in the kidnapping. The suit claims Jane Doe, the daughter, is depressed, afraid to leave her room, and that her studies are suffering.

She denies this was kidnapping, claiming she acted out of concern for the child. She said, “The situation being referenced involved me helping a young girl. Anyone twisting an act of support into something malicious is spreading intentional misinformation.”

Krystal Shaina Hurd

Krystal Hurd was a Sanibel, Florida, city employee who worked as a camp counselor at Sanibel Recreation Center. She was trusted with the community’s children and exploited that trust. Four of her victims have come forward and police suspect there may be more.

A 23-year-old man told police that when he was eleven, Hurd began grooming him and kissed him. When he was twelve, she began sexually abusing him.

He had problems at home and moved into her home when he was thirteen or fourteen, living with her and her husband. She continued to sexually abuse him until he was eighteen and ended the relationship. He also named three other possible victims.

On of them was a girl who first met Hurd when in fifth grade. When she was sixteen, Hurd directed her and the first victim to have sex while she watched. The other two reported they were also encouraged to engage in sexual acts with other children, though the youngest was only part of Hurd’s group when she was nine to eleven. She was encouraged to “date” and make out with another child.

She is being held without bail.

She was reviewing her son’s social media and discovered Johnson had been sending inappropriate messages to her son on Discord. When she questioned her son if Johnson had sent other inappropriate messages, he told her that Johnson had molested him three times.

John Emanuel Banuelos

John Emanuel Banuelos is an insurrectionist. He brought a gun to the insurrection and fired it twice inside the Capitol. He was still pardoned in the mass pardon of January 6 participants, even the violent ones. He was arrested for the stabbing and killing of a man in 2021, though the DA decided he acted in self-defense and did not charge him. However, during interrogation for that offense, he bragged to detectives about being at the Insurrection, even pointing himself out on video. When indicted for that he was making light, telling the judge Trump would win the election and pardon him. Well, that happened. However, his DNA was collected and it matched a 2018 rape case, leading to his most recent indictment for eight counts of sexual assault and one count of kidnapping. These crimes happened in Utah, though he has since moved to Illinois.

According to the charges, the victim was newly houseless. “The victim recounted that the day she met the defendant was the first day she had experienced homelessness, and she was scared and vulnerable. She reported that she accepted the defendant’s offer of a house party because she knew it would provide her with a place to be. What she didn’t realize at the time was the defendant’s deception. The defendant lured the victim to his home, drugged her, and then sexually assaulted her for over 12 hours.”

Joseph Burkhart

Joseph Burkhart was a Republican at-large city council member in Bellevue, Ohio, when he was arrested in September, 2025. At the time, he was indicted on seven charges. In October, a grand jury indicted him on twenty-two charges, eighteen of which are felonies. At the time of his indictment, he was the Chair of the public safety committee. He remained on the November general election ballot in Sandusky County. Bellevue lies at the intersection of Erie, Huron, Seneca, and Sandusky counties. That is why he was arrested by Huron County deputies and is on the Sandusky County general election ballot. He got 11% of the vote.

Police were called out to a domestic incident where Burkhart is said to have broken in to a home. They called in the Huron County Sheriff’s Office as Burkhart was on the City Council and this created a conflict of interest, or at least the appearance. The original charges included strangulation, burglary, and drug possession. (He ran from police who saw him tossing drugs as he ran.) The current charges are:

  • Three counts of menacing by stalking, a 4th-degree felony;
  • Three counts of drug possession, a 1st-degree misdemeanor;
  • Two counts of tampering with evidence, a 3rd-degree felony;
  • Two counts of aggravated drug possession, a 5th-degree felony;
  • Two counts of telecommunications harassment, a 1st-degree misdemeanor;
  • One count of aggravated burglary, a 1st-degree felony;
  • One count of strangulation, a 2nd-degree felony;
  • One count of grand theft when the property is a firearm or dangerous ordnance, a 3rd-degree felony;
  • One count of strangulation, a 3rd-degree felony;
  • Strangulation, a 4th -degree felony, for one count;
  • Theft of Drugs, a 4th-degree felony, for one count;
  • One count of obstructing official business, a 5th-degree felony;
  • One count of theft, a 5th-degree felony;
  • One count of drug trafficking, a 5th-degree felony; and
  • One count of assault, a 1st-degree misdemeanor.

The charge for strangulation notes that the person was either a family member or a romantic connection. The menacing by stalking charged noted he has a history of violence.
