Moms for Liberty (M4L), the anti-LGBTQ+ “extremist group” that constantly vilifies LGBTQ+ people for “sexualizing kids,” hired a registered sex offender who allegedly had oral and anal sex with a 14-year-old boy to handle the religious outreach for its Philadelphia chapter.

The offender, Phillip Fisher Jr., was convicted in 2012 for the aggravated sexual abuse of a 14-year-old boy, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. He pleaded guilty to one count of “aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a minor between the ages of 13 and 17” in the case, even though a grand jury indicted him in 2011 for 12 counts of sexual assault and sexual abuse. Despite his guilty plea, Fisher “insists that he did nothing wrong,” the publication wrote.

I am not a lawyer: A guilty plea is an admission of guilt, so I believe you’re wrong about that, thankfully. Provided the specific crimes being discussed are the same ones that were plead to, I don’t think there is an issue here

I don’t know, that’s up for the journalists to sort out. They’re the ones using the “allegedly” language here.

I mean considering any normal person is basically going to be bankrupted by a non frivolous lawsuit, I wouldn’t blame them for erring on the safe side even if they’re sure they’re in the right
