811: Ryan White AKA Jon McGreevey

Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

Ryan White used the name Jon McGreevey when he ran in the Republican primary for U. S. Senate. He got 6% of the vote which is more than he deserved. He concocted an elaborate story about sex trafficking that was utterly false. He claimed an older adult male was in the business with a young girl, 10-12 years of age, forcing the child to perform sexual acts on male customers. He then made some video ads with a candidate for sheriff talking about how he foiled abuse. He claimed he worked at an adult bookstore as part of a law enforcement sting.

So, to create a phony persona as an anti-trafficking crusader, he slandered a man who came in to use the ATM, got people picketing the store, and wasted several hours of police time as they tried to verify his false claims.

False Allegations about phony sting.
20, 2022 | Sun, The (Baltimore, MD) | Alison Knezevich | Page 1 A Baltimore man running for U.S. Senate is criminally charged in Harford County after authorities there allege he made a false report about child sex trafficking at an adult store. Ryan Dark White, 54, who is known as Jon McGreevey, faces charges including making false statements to a law enforcement officer. Harford Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler's office announced the charges Friday. Officials said they received information April 13 about the store in the 3000 block of Pulaski Highway in Edgewood. "The information provided to detectives claimed an older adult male was in the business with a young girl, 10- 12 years of age, forcing the child to perform sexual acts on male customers," officials said in a news release. White, who goes by McGreevey on his campaign website, is an employee of the store, Gahler's office said. He was identified "as the source of the information." White, a Republican, has not responded to requests for comment. The sheriff's office said detectives with the county's Child Advocacy Center conducted an investigation and found "at no time were any sex acts performed or offered by any of the individuals in the establishment as reported by White." Detectives interviewed White on July 7. White was arrested Friday and has since been released on $5,000 bail, said Kyle Andersen, a spokesman for the sheriff's office. Gahler said his deputies' time was wasted by the report.

Gahler said his deputies' time was wasted by the report. "Fearmongering and antagonism caused wasted time and energy by our personnel, whose time would have been better served protecting the citizens of Harford County, instead of investigating lies," Gahler said in a statement. Andersen said investigators identified the girl and man in the initial complaint. He did not know the girl's age. They determined that the man, who is related to the girl, had brought her inside the store so he could use the ATM, Andersen said. He is not being charged with a crime. On Facebook, some people have promoted protests at the adult store, called The Mistress, because of the allegations of trafficking. A person who answered the phone at the store on Saturday said no one who could comment was available. The sheriff called it "shameful that a candidate for public office would make up such a story and use it to further his own political agenda." "It is even more appalling, that another individual, who is running for a law enforcement position, would embrace such an obviously false narrative in an effort to gain political traction - nothing more," Gahler said. While Gahler didn't name the other candidate, White - using the name McGreevey - has appeared in online videos with Andy Kuhl, a Republican sheriff's candidate in Baltimore County. "There has been a new system of child trafficking implemented when Covid began," Kuhl's campaign website states. "It is now across 26+ States! Jon McGreevey and I go undercover to expose these sick and heinous crimes against children. We must bring these criminals to Justice." In a phone interview, Kuhl said he had no political motivation in discussing trafficking allegations. "I'm already the Republican nominee," said Kuhl, who ran unopposed in the Baltimore County primary on Tuesday. Copyright (c) 2022 The Baltimore Sun Company
On April 9th, 2022, I went to work at The Mistress. When I arrived at work, I noticed a young girl and elderly male in the store near the ATM. I immediately recognized this as an opportunity to potentially obtain traction for my political career as I was running for US Senate. I used the opportunity to take photographs of a child and send it to my followers. I intentionally misled them to believe that child sex trafficking was taking place. This is a topic of serious concern amongst my voter base, and I intentionally brought attention to a situation that simply did not occur. I did the right thing by having the child and elderly male leave the establishment, but I perpetuated a sex trafficking lie. Upon my eventual arrest, I cause the arresting deputy, Sgt. Kalambihis to be slandered. I cause several internal affairs investigations to be conducted against. Sgt. Kalambihis based on lies. I liked about his name and perpetuated a fictitious relationship online between Sgt. Kalambihis and a known sex trafficker. Aside from that, I also posted photographs of him and his wife on my Truth Social accoun to have my follower base harass him. My biggest regret is lying about the child's involvement on the day of the incident. I created a heinous lie that could potential have led to the child being placed in imminent danger. Law enforcement detectives spent hundreds of hours investigating a crime that did not happen. I regret my actions and apologize for any inconvenience I have cause to all members of the public and to law enforcement.
