Scott Soucek, the husband of a prominent Wisconsin GOP operative, has been accused of possessing child pornography.
Scott Soucek of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, was arrested on July 24 and accused of accessing hundreds of child porn images through a file-sharing system.Soucek isn’t just a Trump booster himself: he’s also the husband of a leading Republican Party operative in the state.
His wife, Stephanie Soucek, is the chairwoman of the Door County Republican Party. Last year, she represented Wisconsin as a delegate at the Republican National Convention.
In a Facebook post last October, Scott Soucek listed two dozen reasons why he planned to vote for Trump.
“I’m voting to fight against human/child trafficking,” Soucek wrote as one of the reasons.
More than 15 years before that post, Door County investigators analyzed his laptop, and he admitted to downloading child porn images in 2009. However, he was never charged with a crime.
The new criminal complaint filed against Soucek this month states that it “remains unclear” why the 2009 investigation into Soucek was not referred to the local district attorney’s office.
