MAGA Influencer And Fox News Guest Indicted On Child Sex Abuse Charges

The right-wing personality known as Raw Ricci built his following by filming homeless people in San Francisco.

A MAGA influencer known for posting sensationalized videos of homeless people in San Francisco was indicted Tuesday on federal charges of producing child sex abuse material.

Ricci Wynne, 39, known as Raw Ricci to his more than 100,000 Instagram followers, was first arrested in November and charged with pimping and pandering by procuring, HuffPost previously reported. He was taken into custody alongside a woman shortly after arriving at San Francisco International Airport.



Ricci Lee Wynne has garnered more than 100,000 followers on Instagram and over 29,000 followers on X with his content complaining about crime in San Francisco.

The influencer was already being investigated by San Francisco police at the time of his November arrest and was named a suspect in the sexual assault of a 15-year-old, according to The San Francisco Standard. Authorities say they found evidence on Wynne’s cellphones and at his luxury apartment that indicated he was facilitating a sex work operation that spanned multiple cities.

Who has mental health issues and disabilities according to his lawyers.

They portrayed him as a child abuse victim with a learning disability who needed “sympathy,” not prison. Last December, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ordered Wynne released after nearly two years of “time served.”

He's a perfect poster boy for magats.

Enough of these sort of stories have happened to make that correlation. Folks who participate in cruel acts against other people are not going to have any empathy for anyone else but themselves.

Are all Republicans child molesters? Way to many to be a coincidence or random chance.

So for them, preying on children seems to be a natural result.

It was just the day before yesterday that there was a thread about Minnesota State Senator Justin Eichorn getting busted in a sting for trying to meet up with who he thought was a 16 year old girl. I posted that if we wait a month or two another story like that would break about another Republican, and here we are.
