Jonathan David Reep is a popular comedian and comic podcaster. He also won Last Comic Standing Season Five and is known as the Hemi-Guy from an old Dodge Ram commercial. Although he is an unaffiliated voter, he is well-known for his “anti-woke” comedy.
He was indicted on several child sexual abuse material charges, one count of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and nine counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
A tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led to his home and arrest after a search warrant was executed. The police found material portraying children between the ages of one and thirteen being sexually abused and exploited.
