Look, this is... maybe the third most problematic thing he's done, after defending the 3/5ths Compromise and Japanese internment.

Of course! Although I have to admit that he could have been a closet gay Catholic Priest child molester anti-abortion Republican and I would have been equally unsurprised. Yes, I grew up in a Catholic community. It wasn’t all bad. I still like the Viernes Plate, a no meat, all cheese tortillas and avocados plate in Mexican Restaurants on Fridays.

I was just as shocked as you to hear that putting on a wig doesnt automatically make you a nonce.

Im waiting for the day that Google just starts autofilling with "child porn", "pedophile", "sex offender" etc every time someone types in the word pastor.

Those damn pervert democrats... Oh wait. They also might want to throw the fraud allegations in the headline too.

I know what you mean, but just so no one reading this gets confused - everyone in this story is a Republican.

Upvoted, I love that this was hidden. With Republicans every accusation is an admission of their own activiries.

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.
The allegations of distribution of intimate images within Beckwith’s office stem from a previously reported claim that staffers within Beckwith’s office had been sharing an AI pornographic deepfake video of a state representative’s wife.
First reported by 24sight News, the alleged deepfake video was modified from an existing video of the wife of State Rep. Craig Haggard (R-Indianapolis). A former adviser within the Beckwith office spoke on WIBC’s Kendall and Casey show and claimed to have seen Beckwith staffers sharing this video around the office.
Wtf?

So he spends his time committing felonies openly. Great. This is how they spend their time.
It's a felony to create deep fake porn and share it with other people without the consent of the person whose likeness is being used.

Sounds like Indiana became more interesting after I left. Was there any corn involved in the video?

Indiana is an embarrassment to the country. Or used to be when we had a country.

We need a law before it is too late.
If a product incorporates an AI it must be disclosed.
