…they still don’t realize it increases attention on themselves. He who complains the loudest is the most guilty seems to work time and time again.

Prosecutors said that May showed sexual interest in incest between young children and their parents, as well as an interest in children the same age as his own kids. Because some of the images featured children the same age as his own child — a seven-year-old — the 39-year-old was held without bail until his trial.

Yeah, you've got to wonder about HIS seven-year-old! I would hope they thoroughly investigated that.

Remember how the right wing spread that story of the cross dresser guy that stole luggage when Biden was President.

These things are even worse but usually it will be some local story and a few liberal learning places will mention it like here.

But it doesn't get the national attention that things like the Somali daycare thing got.
