Ex-Minuteman Chris Simcox Meets The Rule Of Law: Guilty Of Child Molestation

At one time, about a decade ago, Chris Simcox was a political figure in high demand: As the cofounder of the nativist border watch operation known as the Minuteman Project, he was a popular guest on TV and radio programs – where he often held forth on the alleged dangers of illegal immigration, demanding that the government enforce “the rule of law” – and his endorsement was avidly sought by a number of conservative politicians. However, in the intervening decade, Simcox’s celebrity has been in sharp decline.

That fall was completed last week when a Phoenix jury of nine men and three women convicted Simcox, 55, of two counts of child molestation and a charge of providing pornography to a minor. Judge Jose Padilla scheduled Simcox's sentencing for July 5, when he faces a sentence of 17 to 37 years in prison under Arizona sentencing guidelines.
