COJ #134 - Horrific Details of SC Legislator’s Arrest in Pedophilia Case Should Be Turning Point + Michael Colucci Retrial

Investigative journalists and co-hosts of True Sunlight Podcast Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland discuss the heinous details contained in court documents about what suspended South Carolina Representative RJ May has been accused of doing and why it was important for the U.S. Attorney’s Office to get so graphic. Over the course of five days in 2024, RJ May is accused of sharing 220 different child-sex abuse videos — including videos of babies being raped, bestiality with children and sex acts between toddlers and grown women and men. He shared those videos 479 times with other “like-minded pedophiles,” according to court records. Even more stunning is that while the FBI conducted its investigation, RJ May remained a lawmaker and even got re-elected — despite the powers that be allegedly being aware of the nature of that investigation. RJ May’s case should serve as a wake-up call for everyone. Also on the show, Michael Colucci’s retrial is this week. Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about the incredible accusations made in the motion to dismiss that Colucci’s team filed Friday, accusing SLED and South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson’s Office of sitting on “conclusive evidence” that Michael’s wife, Sara-Lynn Colucci — whom Michael is accused of killing — had plans to hang herself. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Will RJ May be expelled from SC House?
