Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that John Podesta’s Friend, Slade Sohmer, freed on $100K bail after he got arrested as he told schoolkids he’s gay and was caught with 1,300 pornographic images of toddlers.
On Monday, Slade Sohmer, 44, was charged with owning and distributing child pornography, according to Berkshire authorities.
Sohmer served as the editor-in-chief of The Recount, a left-wing news outlet, until last month. According to the report, he was accused in a Massachusetts court of possessing and sharing “hundreds of child pornography images and videos.” However, he was released on a $100,000 bail on Monday.
According to Sohmer’s LinkedIn page, he had also previously worked as a managing editor and editorial director for a company called BeMe, which is “a mobile mental health platform — made for and With Teens In Mind™ — to improve teen well-being by bringing together the best aspects of digital media, live support, and clinical care,” the website’s About Us section reads.
Sohmer was initially arrested at his residence in Otis, Massachusetts, on Friday, weeks after law enforcement officials discovered material on his electronic devices after they had acquired a search warrant.
It was about him telling schoolkids that he was gay.
“I just don’t know what today’s 4th graders know about love & sexuality & gender & all its modern permutations.”
Investigators have a high degree of confidence that more than 50 videos allegedly pulled from Sohmer’s devices show undressed children engaged in sexual activity, and at least eight victims have been identified by police and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), an advocacy group that works with law enforcement to combat child sex crimes.
