Democrat Mayor Pleads Guilty to 140 Child Pornography Charges
Free Beacon ^ | 8/3/2023 | Ben Wilson

Posted on 08/03/2023 11:50:54 AM PDT by Right Wing Vegan

A Democratic former mayor pleaded guilty to 140 charges for child porn possession and distribution.

Patrick Wojahn—who served for nearly eight years as mayor of College Park, Md., before his arrest and resignation in March—pleaded guilty to 60 counts of distribution of child pornography, 40 counts of possession of child pornography with the intention to distribute, and 40 counts of possession of child pornography.

Wojahn, who listed his pronouns in his Twitter bio, said in his resignation letter that he was stepping down to address his "mental health."

The ex-mayor also has connections to the Biden administration. Wojahn in a 2019 interview called then-South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg (D.) his "buddy" and credited Buttigieg's "mentorship" for advancing his career, the New York Post reported. Wojahn has also posted pictures of himself and Buttigieg and said the two repeatedly spoke on the phone. Buttigieg is now President Joe Biden's transportation secretary.

"This is a horrific case," Prince George's County state's attorney Aisha Braveboy said. "I am truly pleased that Mr. Wojahn has pled guilty to and accepted responsibility for his actions and these horrendous crimes."

Wojahn is the latest Democrat to be caught with child pornography. Former Democratic New Hampshire state representative Stacie Laughton, who identifies as transgender, was arrested in June for child pornography charges. It was at least the fourth arrest for the Democrat, who was jailed in 2022 for stalking a woman. That arrest prompted Laughton's resignation from the legislature.

Former Biden campaign surrogate Jerry Harris last year received 12 years in prison for sexually assaulting a minor and soliciting sexual images from a child.

The last decade has seen a rise in child pornography, according to the Demand Project, a child-abuse prevention group.

"Nationally, there has been a 2,500 percent increase in arrests in the past 10 years," the group reported.

This is what I don’t get. Why, when one of these pedophiles is investigated and caught, aren’t a thousand tentacles of law enforcement reaching out to ALL of his contacts involved in the child porn sharing? It ought to result in a HUNDRED arrests and trials, not just one.

Joe Biden's daughter used wait until late at night to shower because she hated it when her daddy would hear her shower and slip in with her. Of course President Sniffer has a "D" by his name so nothing will happen beyond condemning Project Veritas from having the diary. Lucky for Biden 'the press' will also give him a pass.

Listing “his pronouns” in his bio should have been a giveaway.
Who does that?

The only way to deal with this abomination: death — for both the trafficker and the customer.

There was a reason why sexual perversions were capital offenses in the Old Testament; He knew that when people are consumed by their own lusts that society becomes unfit for human habitation and has to be completely and utterly destroyed because the land itself becomes polluted and can only be cleansed by burning.

I can't agree with you more.

We heard screeches about homosexual sodomy being just a minor infraction in the laws of many states prior to the flawed Lawrence v. Texas decision, but look at where that opinion has led us? Decriminalizing all homosexual behavior has led to a proliferation of it, including in our children's faces.

It should have remained criminal.

Pizzagate was real. I am convinced there are many in power participating in human trafficking. For some, the human trafficking is why they pursue power, to be able to act above the law.

When are we going to have Heroin Addict Pride?
Or Serial Killer Pride?
Perhaps Wife Beater Pride?

They are all alternative lifestyles. How dare anyone judge!

Sorry, but that would be possible only in a truly civilized country where government actually fulfills its primary responsibility which is the protection, safety, and welfare of its law-abiding citizens.

Why? Because sexual weirdos and monsters are protected by democrats and the corrupt press...
