The images show young children, preteens, adults in sexual situations, as well as animals. The 12-page criminal complaint, according to The Daily Beast, contains horrifying descriptions of the explicit images.This isnt the first time Soucek has been investigated for possession of child sex abuse materials. In 2009, he was interviewed by investigators from Door County Internet Crimes Against Children for allegedly uploading such images, but the case was never referred to prosecutors. Investigators analyzed his laptop at the time, but they didnt find child sex abuse images on his computer. Instead, they found evidence that such images were on the computer in an index file associated with the peer-to-peer file sharing program Limewire and noted that Soucek himself admitted to downloading such material, the 2025 criminal complaint says. The complaint says its unclear why he wasnt prosecuted at the time, and Sturgeon Bay Police Chief Clint Henry says that the investigator in that case, as well as the then-district attorney, have since retired.I dont know where that communication fell through the gap, but obviously, if it looked like there was some evidence of a download, but we could not recover images, so I dont know if that was the hangup? Henry said. Keep in mind, back in 2009, the technology is not what we have today.Soucek isnt just a MAGA supporter; hes the husband of a local Republican party official, Stephanie Soucek, chair of the Door County Republican Party and a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 2024. She appeared on a Real Americas Voice broadcast with FBI Director Kash Patel during the 2024 election cycle, where she talked about how Republicans could win that state. Now she says shes divorcing her husband. At this time, my main concern is for my son, and I am asking for privacy at this incredibly difficult time, Stephanie Soucek told Fox 11 News.Scott Soucek was arrested on July 24 and is out of jail on a $10,000 cash bond. He is due back in court in August. He could get up to 25 years in prison on each of the 10 charges.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
