Federal prosecutors charged Dr. Stephen Andrew Leedy, a Tampa-area physician, with producing harmful materials involving a child and attempting to incite the minor to engage in sexual activity. Leedy, 59, faces life in federal prison if convicted. He allegedly exploited and victimized about ten minors online using the username “maximumuncle#9112.” In November 2021, one minor victim was found deceased, having hanged herself following Leedy’s instructions.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has made protecting children a priority, signing legislation to bar sexually explicit materials from grades K-3. He discussed the influence of “wokeism” on American institutions with Mark Levin, criticizing its impact on government agencies and advocating for a return to their core missions. DeSantis expressed hope that President Trump’s return would help refocus these institutions on their intended purposes.
