Jason Yates, the former CEO of My Faith Votes, a Get-Out-The-Vote organization created to encourage “family values” and “biblical truths” by motivating Christian people to vote and to speak out in the public square.
In July, he wrote an op-ed for the Washington Times which has now been removed without explanation. In it, he claimed he and his son went to a robotics competition where people attempted to program his son into identifying as transgender. He claimed that the idea of separation of church and state left the public square open to deviance and unnatural programing. It’s available at the Internet Archive, the link is below.
Since then, he has been charged with eight counts of possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and fired from his position at My Faith Votes. When interviewed by the police, he informed them that he had a prior conviction for possession of CSAM that had been expunged.
A relative discovered a hard drive with hundreds of child sexual abuse materials of children under the age of fourteen. There were eight pieces involving children between ages five and seven. That person gave it to another relative who took it to police.
In July, 2025, he pleaded guilty to two of the eight counts against him in exchange for dismissal of the other six charges.

Again, the newspapers are incorrectly identifying child sexual abuse as something else! It’s CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE, not pornography! Are all these journalists morons or pedophiles themselves???
