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.

If it's just possession, that seems a bit excessive.

Besides, that was in 2009.

I suspect that their professed faith and conservative cultural convictions are mostly cover.

Dangerously close to the “no true Scotsman” fallacy, no?

These people are sick. But by sharing those files, they are supporting the people who make them by harming children. One thing to be sick, quite another thing to let it abuse kids. What's frightening is that those who are evil enough to prey on kids, are often to be found, posing as church people:
ST. LOUIS — It’s not unusual for “hard-core” child molesters — with more sexual-offense convictions, more victims and younger victims — to be well-respected members of Christian congregations, and to be actively involved as church leaders, warns Victor Vieth, executive director emeritus of the Gundersen National Child Protection Training Center in Winona, Minn.

In one study, 93 percent of convicted sex offenders described themselves as “religious.” Perhaps surprisingly, many sexual predators consider churches as “safe havens,” Vieth said, with trusting, forgiving adults and easy access to children.

Churches should be throwing books at these people once they perpetrate.
