Meet Representative RJ May’s KIK co conspirator
‼️👇🏻‼️👇🏻
A metro nurse is in federal custody tonight, accused of possessing child pornography.
Last week, the FBI raided his southwest Oklahoma City home and uncovered disturbing videos on multiple devices. Neighbors are stunned and angry, and the investigation is stretching across state lines.
The investigation began in March, following a cyber tip. Investigators determined a lawmaker in South Carolina was responsible for sending the illegal videos to a traveling nurse in Oklahoma City.
Federal investigators swooped in last week, spending hours searching the home of Christian Soto.
"I saw a bunch of guys I thought were undercover because they confiscated lots of documents and lots of things," said neighbor Jared Bellah.
"They looked like they were bounty hunters but they were taking pictures," said neighbor Erik Bellah.
Jared and Erik Bellah later learned their neighbor was the subject of a federal investigation.
"We never had a conversation, just hi, how are you doing, waving as we come and go," said Jared.
Soto, a travelling nurse, is accused of receiving disturbing videos of child sexual abuse.
"Nobody really has a stereotypical look, especially for something like this," said Erik.
Investigators said Christian Soto received the illegal material from R.J. May, a South Carolina state representative who was arrested last month.
According to the FBI, using the Kik app, the conservative lawmaker distributed hundreds of videos to users, including Soto, who allegedly requested the material.
"He's trusted—up there with police and firemen, so he's definitely abusing that," said Erik.
Court filings show Soto was previously arrested on an unrelated charge in March. He's accused of abusing and kidnapping his then-girlfriend, a minor.
Jared, who has a 5-year-old daughter, said the experience has opened his family's eyes to the dangers that could be lurking nearby.
“I’ve talked to my brother, my family about things like that, how much we hate those kind of people, and they're right there across the street, we had no idea,” said Jared.
Federal investigators traced Soto's internet activity to his home and INTEGRIS Health Community Hospital in Oklahoma City, where he previously worked.
A spokesperson for the hospital said Soto was contracted by a temporary company and that his assignment ended in April 2024. The hospital added that safety is a top priority and that this type of behavior "will not be tolerated or ignored."
Soto's preliminary and detention hearings are scheduled for Wednesday.

Three Alabama men face horrific accusations of raping, sodomizing and trafficking six young children, including one as young as 3, in an underground Bibb County bunker for more than a year, according to court records.
William Chase McElroy, 21, Dalton Terrell, 21, and Andres Velazquez-Trejo, 29, were indicted last week by a Bibb County grand jury.
The alleged incidents happened for more than a year, beginning sometime around New Year’s Day 2024 and continued through April 29, 2025, records state.
Bibb County Sheriff Jody Wade said in a press release issued Saturday night that the investigation began Feb. 4 of this year “following concerns regarding the sexual abuse of children in an underground bunker located in Brent.”
The sheriff nor court records provide any additional information into where the bunker was located.
“Such abhorrent behavior will not be tolerated in Bibb County and .. offenders will face prosecution to the fullest extent of the law,” Wade said in the press release.
Charging documents show the victims were between the ages of 3 and 10. One of the victims was a 6-year-old boy and another was a 3-year-old girl.
The accusations alleged the children endured vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, and oral sex. Records state one of the suspects “sold” children “to various clientele for sexual pleasure.”
The grand jury on July 11 indicted McElroy on four counts of first-degree rape, six counts of first-degree human trafficking, six counts of first-degree sodomy and four counts of first-degree kidnapping.
He was initially arrested Feb. 11 on multiple counts of child sex abuse.
Charging documents from his initial arrest state he admitted to fondling the male victim and raping at least one of the young girls.
On April 25, Wade said, investigators identified Terrell as another suspect and he, too, admitted to sexual intercourse with a minor, according to court records.
The grand jury indicted Terrell with six counts of first-degree rape, 12 counts of first-degree sodomy and five counts of human trafficking.
Terrell, records state, paid at least two adults to use the children – who are now ages 8,6, 10 and 3 – for sexual purposes, including rape and sodomy.
After more investigation, Velazquez-Trejo was arrested on April 29. He is charged with six counts of human trafficking.
The criminal complaint states he sold nude images of the victims to multiple people and sold the children themselves.
The suspects, all from Brent, will be arraigned on the indictments in August.
Court records do not state how the three men may know each other but indicate they all lived in mobile homes approximately a mile from each other at the time of their arrests.
Disturbing new information has been released in the case of the prominent French left-wing LGBT activist who ran an international pedophile network. Pierre-Alain Cottineau, 32, was arrested in September of last year after being traced back to the horrific sexual torture of a 4-year-old disabled girl.
Cottineau first became a target for investigators after OFMIN, a branch of the French police specifically focused on crimes involving children, became aware of a violent child sexual abuse video being exchanged through Telegram. The video appeared to show a disabled girl being sexually abused by an adult man. Incredibly, investigators were able to ascertain the whereabouts of the young victim by tracing the sale and shipment history of a very unique medical bed seen in the footage.
The child was reportedly placed into Cottineau’s care after he obtained approval from Child Welfare services to become a foster parent just months before the filmed abuse took place. Disturbingly, Cottineau had specifically requested to foster children under the age of 6.
After being charged with aggravated offenses against a minor in October of 2024, including the abuse of authority and distribution of illegal material, the investigation into Cottineau’s actions widened in February, with authorities determining that he was not just a child rapist, but the head of an entire pedophile network that stretched across Europe. In messages posted on dark web forums, Cottineau boasted about having “children available” for sexual abuse.
Update:
In April 2024, social messaging app Kik flagged videos involving child sexual abuse from an account called “joebidennnn69.” Investigators identified at least 10 such videos shared through the account and tracked it to May’s house and mobile device, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Federal investigators seized electronics from the 38-year-old last August. Two months later, a court filing confirmed that they took a Lenovo laptop, an Amazon tablet, four cellphones, four hard drives, four SD cards, two DVD-Rs and 19 thumb drives.
If charged with a felony, May faces suspension from the House pending the case’s outcome. State law requires an officeholder indicted on a felony to be suspended.
May also faces up to 20 years in prison, with a minimum of five years, as well as a fine of up to $250,000 if found guilty.
The Freedom Caucus, which suspended May’s membership last year, called for him to resign his House seat.
May previously served as vice chairman but no longer held a leadership position after the caucus’ officer elections last July. His connections in Congress helped launch the state Freedom Caucus in 2022. He acted as de facto spokesman for the group as it battled with the main Republican Caucus until the federal investigation became public.
“These crimes are heinous and we expect that they will be fully investigated,” the Freedom Caucus statement read.
May has not been involved with Freedom Caucus activities since last August, said Rep. Jordan Pace, R-Goose Creek, the caucus’ current chairman. May attended this year’s session, he stayed quiet, not getting involved in floor debates and continuing to vote alongside the Freedom Caucus.
Originally from Virginia, May is married and has two children. He runs consulting firm Ivory Tusk Consulting.
The last legislator suspended while facing federal charges was Rep. Rick Martin in 2021. The Newberry Republican was charged with giving alcohol to a 15-year-old girl and trying to influence an investigation, which he denied at the time. 👀(strange thing to include but I’ll take it )
Martin lost a bid for reelection the following year, losing the primary election to Freedom Caucus member Rep. Joe White
I’m going to keep posting about this until everyone sees it
Across dozens of U.S. states, parents are losing their children based on drug test results that courts should never have trusted. From Alaska to Georgia, California to Ohio, laboratories have been caught falsifying test results, billing for unnecessary procedures, and engaging in illegal kickback schemes, yet their services are still being used in family courts. These labs, many of which have already faced Department of Justice investigations or civil settlements, continue to supply the very tests that child protective agencies and juvenile courts rely on to justify emergency removals and terminations of parental rights. In states like Indiana and Kentucky, parents have lost custody after being falsely flagged as drug users. In Missouri and Utah, courts have relied on unconfirmed positives to delay or deny reunification. In Ohio, even antacids were misidentified as narcotics.
The legal consequences are staggering. The Fourteenth Amendment protects a parent’s right to the care and custody of their child. Supreme Court precedent in Santosky v. Kramer (1982) and Troxel v. Granville (2000) affirms that parental rights are fundamental and require rigorous due process protections. Yet in case after case, these rights are steamrolled by faulty drug tests rubber-stamped by courts without challenge or oversight. Even more alarming is the constitutional violation under the Fourth Amendment. In Ferguson v. City of Charleston (2001), the Supreme Court held that drug testing for law enforcement purposes without informed consent was unconstitutional. In the child welfare arena, the same principles apply, ]yet thousands of parents are being subjected to testing under threat of losing their children, with no safeguards in place.
The legal framework is clear, when state actors violate constitutional rights using flawed evidence, they may be held liable under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. But for many parents, the damage is already done. Children are uprooted. Families are fractured. And in too many cases, these removals are permanent. This isn’t just a legal crisis, it’s a human one. Child welfare systems are using unreliable drug testing as a shortcut to remove children rather than a tool to assess actual danger. Until courts demand verified, scientifically sound evidence and allow parents a real chance to defend themselves, the system will remain dangerously broken
Read the full investigation and state-by-state breakdown of lab misconduct:
In recent years, drug testing has become a routine procedure in family court and child welfare cases. While the intent is to ensure child safety, the reality is that drug testing can sometimes lead to unwarranted family separations and violations of parental rights. Multiple drug testing laboratories across various states have been implicated in fraudulent activities, including false billing schemes, illegal kickbacks for referrals, and substandard or falsified testing practices. These issues have been documented through Department of Justice press releases, court records, and state investigations. Several of these laboratories provided services in child welfare and family court settings, causing significant concerns about the reliability of test results influencing decisions on parental rights.
Legal authorities and case law affirm that parents possess fundamental rights concerning the custody and care of their children. The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution safeguards these rights, ensuring that no state shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” In cases such as Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57 (2000), and Santosky v. Kramer, 455 U.S. 745 (1982), the Supreme Court has recognized the fundamental nature of parental rights. Therefore, courts that rely on faulty or unconfirmed drug test results as a basis for removing custody violate due process requirements, particularly when procedural safeguards are insufficient.
Government mandated drug testing engages the Fourth Amendment’s protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. The Supreme Court, in Ferguson v. City of Charleston, 532 U.S. 67 (2001), held that a state hospital’s policy of conducting involuntary drug tests on pregnant women for law enforcement purposes constituted an unreasonable search, thus violating the Fourth Amendment. This highlights the necessity for consent and reasonableness in drug testing practices, especially when such tests can significantly impact individual rights. Parents facing testing requirements should understand these risks before offering samples that could dramatically impact their family’s future. This report identifies laboratories in various states that have been investigated for fraudulent schemes or providing false results in drug testing operations.
