Pedo GOP Candidate Who Pushed QAnon Conspiracy Theory Arrested For Child Pornography

Last December, Ben Gibson, a Republican who unsuccessfully ran for Louisiana’s 4th Congressional District, was arrested on child pornography charges on Wednesday, according to WGNO.

Gibson also embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory, which holds that President Donald Trump was secretly working to take down a network of Satanic pedophiles.

According to Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office booking records, 34-year-old Ben Gibson was booked into Bossier Max Wednesday morning on four counts of pornography involving juveniles under the age of thirteen (possession).

According to the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office, the arrest was a result of a joint investigation with the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation Cyber Crime Unit, the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office, Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, and the Bossier City Marshall’s Office.

Jared Kutz, 30, of Bossier City was also arrested as a result of the investigation and charged with two counts of pornography involving juveniles under the age of thirteen (possession). As of early Thursday afternoon, both had been released on bond.
