U.S. Magistrate Judge Shiva Hodges said Thursday that the weight of evidence against May is significant. She cited his international travels and the danger he possibly poses to himself, his two young children and to other children.

May was arrested at his West Columbia home Wednesday, roughly 10 months after his house was raided in August 2024 by U.S. Homeland Security Investigation agents, who seized various electronic devices, such as cellphones, hard drives, a CD and thumb drives.

May, who was shackled at his wrists and ankles at his first federal court appearance Thursday in Columbia, entered a plea of not guilty.

    May was arrested at his West Columbia home Wednesday, roughly 10 months after his house was raided in August 2024 by U.S. Homeland Security Investigation agents, who seized various electronic devices, such as cellphones, hard drives, a CD and thumb drives.

    May, a married father of two children under the age of 10, last won reelection in November 2024. He was challenged by a write-in candidate.

    Apparently voters in his district didn't think having his home raided by Homeland Security was overly suspicious.

    I don't have anywhere else to mention this, but last night I looked up one of my old Republican acquaintances (not that I've kept in touch with many) on Facebook to see what they were up to, and it turns out they are now five years into a thirty-year prison sentence for making kiddie porn.

    Didn't expect that pattern to hit so close to home.

    Of course he's a pedophile, he's a MAGA. ALL conservatives are Pedophiles, no exception. If they aren't actively involved, they support those who are, and that's the same thing.

    All MAGA Nazis are PedoCons.

    castration is the only solution.

    A charge is not conviction. Also false convictions happen all the time. Castrating a man, guilty or not, is a punishment unfit for crime, as with physical mutilation or any kind or capital punishment. These sorts of punishments also leave zero room for rehabilitation as the punishment is permanent suffering.

    honestly, i think a chomo deserves much worse than castration but permanent suffering for them does sound fitting.

    That's interesting that that's what you took away from what I said. I'm not an apologist. Eternal suffering is what religious zealots believe wrongdoers deserve and I think lasting punishment is fuel rather than a deterrent. Do you think someone who had their testicles chopped off is going to find a consensual partner later in life? Or do you think they will have to resort to more SA to get laid?

    what’s interesting is the length you’d rather go to have a conversation about evil people. any and all nazis, rapists, and their apologists, deserve to be six feet under. that way they will never have to resort to anything and rather become fertilizer.

    but sure, keep running to the defense of monsters. i’m sure it will work out for you and your loved ones.
