Indiana Lt. Gov. Beckwith investigated over allegations of payroll fraud, deepfake porn

INDIANAPOLIS — A grand jury in Marion County is taking a closer look into allegations within Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith’s office.

A report filed by the Marion County Grand Jury confirms the grand jury heard testimony on Aug. 18 and Sept. 30 “in the original investigation into the distribution of an intimate image(s) and ghost employment in the office of the Indiana lieutenant governor.”

No additional details have yet to be provided on the specifics of the grand jury’s hearings, as the files are currently under seal. If charges are filed in relation to the grand jury investigation, these files would then be unsealed.

The grand jury’s report is the first mention of allegations of ghost employment within Beckwith’s office. Ghost employment is most often used as a term for payroll fraud. A public servant can also be charged with ghost employment as a Level 6 felony for assigning employees duties not related to their government position.

For over 15 years, I’ve served in Hamilton County as a Worship Pastor and Campus Pastor. This experience has deepened my passion for helping people unlock their God-given potential. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I stood up for Hoosiers being forced to take the vaccine against their will. I wrote 1,400 religious exemptions to ensure that people didn’t lose their jobs or education for standing by their beliefs.

I don’t just sit on the sidelines—I take action. When I saw the woke agenda threatening our schools, I stepped up and began teaching History and Constitutional Literacy, spending countless hours helping to shape the next generation of Americans and instilling a love for our nation's founding principles.


And much more barfworthy crap
