Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Arrested For Filing False Police Report Claiming Adult Book Store Was Sex Trafficking Children
Another day, another psychotic MAGA-QAnon freak obsessed with sexualizing children. This time, it was actually a candidate for the United States Senate in Maryland, and he was arrested for filing a false police report involving an adult book store. Via CBS:
Ryan Dark White, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maryland under the name Jon McGreevey, has been arrested and charged with filing a false report after he allegedly told law enforcement an adult bookstore in Edgewood was forcing a young girl to perform sex acts on men, the Harford County Sheriff’s Office said.
The sheriff’s office now says the story was made up.
“It is shameful that a candidate for public office would make up such a story and use it to further his own political agenda,” said Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler.
In April, a tipster provided information to detectives with the Harford County Sheriff’s Office that a man and a young girl between, 10-12 years old, entered an adult bookstore in the 3000 block of Pulaski Highway and the child was forced to perform sex acts on male customers, police said.
The source of the information was 54-year-old employee at the store, White, also known as Dr. Jon McGreevey, authorities said. White is a Baltimore resident.
White has appeared in a couple videos with Andy Kuhl, a Republican candidate for Baltimore County Sheriff, to detail how he exposed the alleged abuse.
He claims he got the job at the bookstore as part of law enforcement sting operation on the drug trade into Baltimore City.
“They started exploiting children,” he claimed in a video on Kuhl’s campaign site dated June 9. “There’s a child trafficking ring being run through there as well.”
Facebook and Twitter accounts purportedly for McGreevey’s campaign have only a handful of posts. But White appears to maintain an active presence on Truth Social, the platform founded by former President Donald Trump.
In recent years some far-right groups have embraced conspiracy theories about the exploitation of children, including QAnon, which alleges Trump was trying to expose an international cabal of traffickers.
A Yahoo/YouGov poll from 2020 found 50% of Trump’s supporters believed “Democrats are involved in elite child sex-trafficking rings” and 52% said Trump was trying to break them up.

McGreevy/White is one of 10 Republicans trying (and inevitably failing, come November) to unseat Democratic incumbent Chris Van Hollen in the state. While McGreevy/White worked in the adult book store, his occupation on the election’s Wikipedia page is listed as “QAnon Conspiracy Theorist.”
Here’s one of the videos McGreevy/White was in. He first appears and starts spewing nonsense at around the :40-second mark. At around 2:30, he tells a made-up story that the store was distributing videos of children being raped by men and dogs. While none of this ever happened, it’s reasonable to assume that these are McGreevy/White’s real-life fantasies:
