The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office says a woman contacted them and said her 15-year-old daughter had exchanged messages that were "sexual in nature" with Joshua Schopp, 20, on the platform. The victim reportedly lied about her age to Schopp initially, telling him she was 17.

But even after learning the victim's true age, Schopp continued to ask for nude photos and sent her a video of himself with his genitals exposed -- a video which the mother screen-recorded and handed over to police.

Police conducted a search warrant at his home and found clothing matching the person in the video. Schopp was then arrested and brought to EBRSO headquarters for questioning.

Schopp faces one count of computer-aided solicitation of a minor.

The Republican candidate reportedly told authorities that "he felt pressured to send the photograph but knew it was a mistake."

On his Facebook page on July 21, 2022, Schopp wrote: "It’s now OFFICIAL I am proud and honored to announce my running for Central Community School System-School Board of District 1!!!"

He then cited a Bible verse: “'And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.' Colossians 3:17."

"Listen folks, I'm very concerned for the children. If I, a good Republican, God fearing man am lusting after their child bodies, just imagine what those demoncrats are doing!!"

Disappointed I had to read five paragraphs down to confirm my assumption it was a Republican.

“CENTRAL - A man was formally charged with exchanging inappropriate messages with a 15-year-old girl just days after his campaign for a position on the Central School Board culminated with the Nov. 8 elections.

Joshua Schopp, 20, was initially booked into the East Baton Rouge jail on Aug. 17 for indecent behavior with a juvenile and computer-aided solicitation of a minor. Arrest documents said Schopp reportedly asked the girl for nude pictures of herself, suggested they meet up for sex and sent her pictures and video of his genitalia.

Schopp seemingly was never taken off of the Central School Board ballot.”

Funny they don’t mention how he did in the election…..

And they didn’t mention his party in the headline. I don’t even see it in the article.

I hate to be “that guy” but if it was a democrat it would have been in the headlines and on Fox News within the hour.
