1100: Joseph “Oakman” Golinske

Child Indecency, Child Molestation

He has also been convicted of sexually abusing children in Michigan and Florida. The child in Michigan was under 13 but he pled down to 2 counts with a child under 17. He was charged in 2019 and in a plea deal that changed the age from 13 to 17. Incredibly, he was given two years probation in October 2022. Under the terms of his probation he was to avoid being with child, not allowed to date someone with children, not go to parks where there are children, and so on. So he moved to Florida and was arrested and pled guilty in a plea agreement in about six weeks with probation again in December 2022.

909: Kyle Broussard

Rape

Kyle Broussard is a member of Patriot Prayer. He was convicted of rape in 2021, but in March 2023, that conviction was reversed because the trial court excluded his roommate’s testimony that he was usually home, though uncertain if he was home the night of the alleged rape. That he was usually home implies that Broussard wasn’t likely planning in advance to get the woman alone and rape her. Will the state retry the case?

884: Joshua Barnard

Sexual Misconduct

Joshua Barnard is one of the Boogaloo Bois, an extreme anti-government group advocating for civil war without a clear ideology other than being pro-gun and pro-violence.

820: Jack Murphy

Uncategorized

Jack Murphy’s online persona is openly misogynist and xenophobic. There’s even a Twitter account archiving some of it because he’s worked to clean up his presentation. He claimed that feminists need rape, though perhaps he regrets that because this article is even gone from the Wayback Machine.

703: Greg Locke

Familial Abuse & Violence

Greg Locke is a Trump-loving internet pastor who pulls stunts like berating customer service people in Target over gender neutral bathrooms or having a meltdown because someone donated to Planned Parenthood in his name. Folks might remember him as the pastor who said there were witches in his church. He also said you cannot be a Christian and vote Democratic. His ex-wife shared abusive texts he sent her and alleged he was physically and emotionally abusive. His wife fled and lived in a women’s shelter. The print press is full of profiles of him that leave out his ex-wife’s claims and normalize his fanaticism.

509: Augustus Sol Invictus

Familial Abuse & Violence, Kidnapping, Stalking/Harassment

Augustus Sol Invictus is a white nationalist associated with the Nazi group AtomWaffen. He used to be a Libertarian but changed to Republican after Trump was elected. He participated in Unite the Right and has a long history of threatening violence. He is alleged to have strangled his ex-wife and threatened her life with a gun. He was, however, acquitted of all charges because she was terrified of testifying after threats against her life from him and from other people in the white nationalist movements.

317: Graham Jorgensen

Stalking/Harassment

Graham Jorgensen is a Vancouver, WA, Proud Boys member. He is also been convicted of domestic abuse and stalking. He took a picture of his ex-girlfriend in a Proud Boys sweatshirt and sent it to her and after they broke up, he sent it to a local paper exposing her ties to extremism. She was fired and he bragged about it. It is not good to have a right-wing extremist serving as a deputy, but his actions were still abusive.

316: Tyler Smith

Child Indecency, Solicitation of a Minor, Uncategorized

Tyler Smith, a member of right-wing militia group Patriot Prayer, was featured in the reality show in Season 3, Episode 4 of Doomsday Preppers, a show that amplifies the paranoid, reactionary, and the radical right. His group is called The Marauders because they plan to steal their supplies. They showed him with firearms which led to his arrest for illegal possession of firearms. He is not eligible to have weapons because he is a convicted sex offender.

National Geographic didn’t mention he was a convicted child molester but they did show him saying he was an apex predator. Perhaps he meant sexual predator. Is molesting a 14-year-old girl apex?
