1461: Mike Pruitt

Mike Pruitt

Michael D. Pruitt is the Johnson County, Indiana, coroner. A 17-year-old girl who cared for Pruitt’s pigs and showed them at fairs through 4-H has gotten a protective order against him for stalking, sending unwanted texts, and providing her with alcohol and gummies. The girl’s mother sought the order when Pruitt would not stop sending texts.

Five deputy coroners have resigned in reaction to the restraining order and the state investigation of Pruitt’s alleged stalking the minor. There are no allegations that he had any sexual contact with her, just that his seeking to meet her and be with her was inappropriate as were his constant, repeated, unwanted texts. Though he did film her and her friend while they were drunk. He provided the alcohol. He also said he liked watching boys watch her. That’s creepy.

Indiana does not allow partisan registration for voters, but candidates do declare their party when they run for office.

1460: James Gosnell, Jr.

James Gosnell, Jr.

James Benjamin Gosnell, Jr. is a South Carolina Magistrate Judge, currently suspended after his arrest for possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) as well as creating CSAM. Gosnell previously drew national media attention when he presided over Charleston Church shooter Dylann Roof’s initial court appearance, after mentioning the nine people he murdered, Gosnell then claimed there were also victims on the other side. He’s been officially reprimanded in the past for showing favoritism when a fellow judge was arrested for DUI and for using a notorious racial epithet when talking to a Black defendant.

He came to the attention of the F.B.I. through a tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children provided by PayPal who noted payments to a known purveyor of CSAM in the United Kingdom. The investigation found transactions via PayPal with other distributors of CSAM.

He not only possessed CSAM, which he admitted to federal investigators, but he is alleged to have posted pictures of himself holding an infant and a toddler and bragging about abusing them. He also boasted about traveling abroad to abuse children and made plans with another predator to abuse an infant. This makes his long career volunteering with his church and with the Boy Scouts as a scoutmaster alarming. The US Attorney made a plea to Charleston area parents: “To the parents of the community, our investigation has revealed that Gosnell claims to have abused very young children. If you have left your child alone with Gosnell, even letting him hold your child, please email the tipline,” Stirling said. “I stress please, please reach out to this tipline.”

I don’t post trigger warnings because I assume that you know what to expect when you go to a site called Republican Sexual Predators. That said, some cases are more sick-making than others. This one is sick-making. Be aware that the details in this news stories are vomitous.

1459: Terry Steinwand

Terry Steinwand

Terry Steinwand was the Director of North Dakota Game and Fish, appointed to the position by three different Republican governors in the last fifteen years of his career. He was arrested on September 5, 2025, and charged with gross sexual imposition with a person under the age of fifteen.

A child told a counselor at Bismarck Children’s Advocacy Center that they had been touched by Steinwand, both over and under their clothing. Police from Mandan interviewed Steinwand and he claimed that he did it to calm the child down and that it was merely tickling. On a side note, has anyone ever heard of tickling as a calming technique?

He is out on $5,000 bond. A trial is scheduled for Feb. 17, 2026.

1458: Adam King

Adam King

Adam King is the Sheriff of Johnson County, Texas. He recently went to court to be allowed to return to work in spite of his four criminal indictments for sexual harassment, retaliation, and now, perjury for lying to a grand jury. The investigation is in the hands of the Texas Rangers so his own deputies are not put in the awful position of having to investigate their boss.

In August 2025, King was indicted on one count of sexual harassment and two counts of using corrupt influence to retaliate against a witness. In October 2025, he was indicted for perjury, lying to a grand jury. He is out on bail and ordered to have no contact at all with seven people, mostly his colleagues where a judge has ordered that he can continue to work in spite of his indictments.

This began with a woman coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment, particularly making comments about women’s appearance, weight, clothing, and their makeup. To give one example, he demanded a woman remove her sweater before he would sign documents she needed. When the investigation began, he allegedly retaliated by suspending her and one of the witnesses the Rangers spoke with. He chose to testify before the grand jury and it’s alleged he lied.

1454: Scott Soucek

Scott Soucek

Scott Soucek is a MAGA activist who campaigned for Trump saying he was voting for Trump because he would fight child trafficking. His wife was a Republican convention delegate and the chair of the Door County Republican Party.

On his Facebook feed, he wrote “I’m voting to fight against human/child trafficking.” That is strange since he had already caught downloading child sexual abuse material in 2009. For some reason, that case was never prosecuted.

In addition to pro-Trump messages and memes, Soucek has posted accusing Biden of groping children.

Soucek was arrested in March 2025 for possession of child sexual abuse imagery.

UPDATE 6/1/2026

The Green Bay Press/Gazette reported on May 28, 2026 that Scott Soucek was sentenced to three years in prison and placed on lifetime supervision for possessing child pornography.

More than 300 images of child sexual abuse material were uploaded by Soucek’s IP address on March 12, 2025, including depictions of bestiality, according to the complaint.

The Sturgeon Bay police officer investigating Soucek in 2025 wrote that “it remains unclear as to why the 2009 case was not referred to the Door County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.” Ironically at the time Republican J. B. Van Hollen was Wisconsin’s Attorney General.
