So, while the right is all in a lather about bathroom assaults by transgenders..that never happened, this happened. I am very happy to see this sick bastard going to jail. To think, he actually ran for the US Senate in my state. :shock:

Ex-Minuteman Chris Simcox found guilty in child-molestation trial
Ex-Minuteman Chris Simcox found guilty in child-molestation trial
Megan Cassidy, The Republic
A Maricopa County Superior Court jury on Wednesday found former “border-vigilante” leader Chris Simcox guilty of two counts of child molestation and one count of furnishing obscene material to a minor.
He was found not guilty on three other counts of sexual conduct with a minor.
The jury had been debating the case since Monday afternoon.
Simcox, 55, was arrested in 2013 after two girls, ages 5 and 6, accused him of touching them inappropriately. He later was charged with two counts of molestation, three counts of sexual conduct with a minor and one count of furnishing obscene material to a minor.
Simcox, a former kindergarten and grade-school teacher with no legal background, represented himself throughout the three-week case in Maricopa County Superior Court.
The prosecution’s case hinged on the testimony of witnesses — in particular, the two young accusers named as victims in the case. The state presented no physical evidence.
On the first day of the trial May 18, one of the girls — now 8 — testified about how Simcox touched her privates “like a cup” when she was at his apartment.
“I couldn’t take it anymore and I really wanted him to stop,” the girl said when asked why she eventually came forward to her mother.
The state bolstered its case with two other witnesses who testified that Simcox had acted inappropriately with them as well. Another young girl said the defendant had bribed her with candy to see her genitals, and a woman said Simcox had molested her as a child several years ago.
Kindergarten and grade-school teacher. Nice.
I couldn't read the article. Does he have a family?
Yes, he is accused of molesting his kids too.
Bonus: He also beat his ex wife.
All the crazy RWNJ's loved him in AZ. Guys like Russell Pearce (who's other good friend JT Ready was a neonazi who killed his ex wife and 3 others, including a 15 month old), and JD Hayworth and Joe Arpaio. There is a good picture of Arpaio, Pearce and Simcox together on the web.
Seriously deranged dude, glad he is gonna die in prison.

i take it, OP, that you also judge all muslims when one of them beheads a rape victim? or all blacks when one of them murders a child? oh, wait, you don't, because that would conflict with your liberal programming.
nonsense bait thread taking advantage of a sad event to push a political agenda, typical.

I'm waiting to see the news article, "Ex-three-year old convicted of rape." How about "ex-ninth grader convicted of SS fraud." If a person is a member of some relevant group at the time of the crime it matters.
In our town a police officer was convicted of molesting children ten years after he retired. No evidence or claim was made of anything improper when he was a police officer. There was evidence that his actions were caused in part by some form of senile dementia. But, of course, the media hook was "ex-police officer". Just think, a man hired as a police officer and fired two months later as unfit will be "ex-police officer" for the rest of his life.
So, a founder of the Minutemen is a pervert. Apples and oranges.
I think you're ignoring all the other cases where right wing "values" have failed to exist. I came from a very conservative, christian family where pedophilia was a generational reality that got covered up by each new generation in order to save face. Conservative thinking demands the pretense of a higher morality and rarely delivers the actual product.
I've been waiting for this verdict for awhile, and good for it!So, while the right is all in a lather about bathroom assaults by transgenders..that never happened, this happened. I am very happy to see this sick bastard going to jail. To think, he actually ran for the US Senate in my state. :shock:

I get tired of someone who spent six months in the military and does something wrong suddenly becomes a "veteran" or "ex-marine". Or a man who was a teacher for one year suddenly becomes, twenty years later, ex-teacher. I don't care about the politics. What I care about is the dishonest media and their search for the sensational.

Simcox is an interesting guy. He's definitely smart and committed to the causes he believes in but he's not a particularly good judge of character (perhaps because his own is pretty ****ed up). He was part of the JT Ready crew that spawned Shawna Forde, the woman who decided that shooting a 9 year old girl in the head during a home invasion was a good idea. He'll probably be happier in jail and will definitely be there with folks he can identify with.
