At least one Trump delegate wont be around for the Republican convention.
A Maryland delegate supporting Donald Trump’s presidential campaign was charged Thursday with making and possessing child pornography as well as owning illegal weapons and transporting explosives, according to shocking court documents.
Caleb Andrew Bailey, a resident of a tiny Washington, D.C. suburb and a Maryland delegate for the presumptive Republican nominee, allegedly engaged in sexual conduct with a minor and used the encounter to make child porn, federal authorities claimed in an indictment released Thursday.
The alleged conduct occurred between March 2015 and January 2016, the Justice Department said.
Bailey, 30, “knowingly attempted to and did employ, use, persuade, induce, entice, and coerce a minor to engage in any sexually explicit conduct … for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct, and the visual depiction had been produced using materials that had been mailed, shipped, and transported in interstate and foreign commerce,” the indictment, filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland, stated.
Bailey was also charged with illegal possession of a machine gun and illegally transporting explosives, including hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
