Duggar also worked for the Family Research Council, a sanctimonious anti-gay organization. He molested five girls and his parents knew and covered it up, even though some of those he molested were his sisters.

David Stringer was a Republican state representative in Arizona when it came out that he had reached a plea deal decades earlier that cleaned up his criminal record, a record with child pornography and child molestation.
When the story broke that he had a criminal record that had been expunged, he claimed he made a plea agreement even though it was an unjust, false arrest.

The police records show he was arrested for child pornography and molesting two children.
