MAGA lawmaker may have committed a felony by posting X-rated Hunter Biden pics: legal experts

Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers may have violated state law when she posted sexually explicit photos of Hunter Biden without his consent, reported Arizona's Family on Friday.

"Late Wednesday, Sen. Wendy Rogers re-posted a video containing sexual images of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, to her more than 300,000 followers on Twitter, a social media platform that allows adolescents as young as 13 years old to sign up but allows adult content," reported Dennis Welch. "In re-tweeting the video, Rogers wrote, 'It’s all here in black and white. Oh, and apparently in NBC living color.'"

According to the report, Rogers swiftly took down the video and Republican state Senate President Warren Peterson released a statement saying, “[Rogers] didn’t realize those images were in that video until it was brought to her attention, and she immediately removed the video from her feed.”

However, that might not be enough to keep her out of legal jeopardy. Arizona has a strict law against so-called "revenge porn," or the non-consensual posting of sexually explicit images. “It’s not a defense if she later took them down, which appears she has done,” Arizona attorney Tom Ryan told reporters. “Any more than it would be a defense if you robbed a Circle K and later gave the money back, you don’t get to wipe out the robbery.”

Releasing such images by electronic means is a Class 4 felony in Arizona, a category of offenses which can carry from 1 to 4 years for a first offense.

Rogers, a far-right pro-Trump lawmaker who has been accused of having ties to white nationalists and violent militia groups, is a prominent election conspiracy theorist who has defended conspiracy theorist webcaster Alex Jones, thrown a tantrum about Confederate statues and the Aunt Jemima brand being retired, and promoted content glorifying Confederate generals on Martin Luther King Day.
