Son of Far-Right Group Leader Charged with Child Sex Abuse
The son of an anti-government group’s leader is facing a dozen criminal charges for the alleged sexual abuse of a child younger than 12.
Richard Solon Mack, 44, is the son of Richard Mack, founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. The CSPOA, according to the Anti-Defamation League, “is an anti-government extremist group whose primary purpose is to recruit sheriffs into the anti-government ‘patriot’ movement.” The movement and its founder have rubbed shoulders with conspiracy movements like QAnon, which falsely alleges a widespread pattern of child sex-trafficking.
On Tuesday, the younger Mack was arrested on four counts each of incest, sodomy of a child younger than 12, and sexual abuse of a child younger than 12. He has since left a Warren County, Kentucky, jail on a $150,025 cash bond.
