One of thousands of patrons of the crowdfunded anti-child trafficking film Sound of Freedom was recently arrested and charged for child kidnapping, according to a court filing and social media posts.

Fabian Marta was charged with felony child kidnapping in July, while since-removed Facebook posts appear to show the same person revealing their pride in funding the film. Marta's name appears in the movie's credits among the "investors [who] helped bring Sound of Freedom to theaters."

This needs to be verified. It sounds like something the detractors would make up.

Definitely need legit info on this, not some they said report or witness. Is there a child custody issue involved that they are trying to use to smear her? Interesting as well, Google sourced, that can be trusted about as far as you can throw Meta.

Sounds suspicious. I wouldn’t put it above the pedo-tariat to get a funder arrested on a made-up charge involving the harming of children.

Given what I’ve seen so far, it’s likely false or waging lawfare against funders (charging them with fake crimes like Trump is charged with crimes).

Lol. You couldn’t write a better script. “Do gooder” gets nabbed at what’s he’s trying to prevent. Now it’s clear why some didn’t get on the bandwagon.

The movie Sound of Freedom is a must see.

The pedo industry has put out lots of false information to discourage people from going, because they know what a good movie it is.

There were thousands upon thousands of “funders.”

DailyMail has the story.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12374217/Fabian-Marta-Sound-Freedom-donor-arrest.html
He was released on personal recognizance after bail was set at $15,000 and is scheduled to appear in court on August 28.

Police have not released additional details regarding the criminal charges.

If found guilty, Marta could face 10 years in prison.

When reached my DailyMail.com on Friday, Marta directed all questions to his lawyer.

‘There is a ton that is wrong here,’ he said.

Marta’s lawyer Scott Rosenblum told DailyMail.com Marta will be entering a plea of not guilty.

‘The charges are ill founded and we expect a very favorable outcome,’ he added.

Complete bogus non-story.

The company said in a statement: 'Angel Studios adhered to the requirements of federal and state laws and regulations in allowing 6,678 people to invest an average of $501 each into the launch of Sound of Freedom.

I'm waiting for the piece "Newsweek stockholder arrested for murder", which has exactly the same relevance.

Well that’s it then! The whole thing is a big fraud. There’s no child trafficking! Everyone can go home now.

Do not know who grabbed the info, but the crowd funders should be anonymous. This is one of the reasons. Not this guy in particular, but invading the privacy of thousands of crowd funders is a bad idea. Leaking to employers, or whomever, is over the top.

When you take money from the public, for anything, you are going to find that some of them are shady.. this is the law of averages.

If they took money from thousands or tens of thousands of people, it should surprise no one that there are bad actors among them

I’ll reserve judgment until all the facts are laid bare. Everything I’ve read about this is strung together like Swiss cheese.
