The FBI arrested Michael Dolce, a 53-year-old West Palm Beach lawyer known for representing child sexual abuse survivors -- while he was actively downloading child pornography. Please note that this man, who had 1,997 images and five videos of child pornography on his computer, is not a drag queen.

LGBTQ Nation reports:

Dolce, who founded a group called Protect Our Kids First Inc., was allegedly lying in his bed and downloading sexually explicit images of children when agents broke down his front door.

According to an FBI affidavit, after Dolce's March 15 arrest, agents found 1,997 images and five videos of child pornography on his computer. The images were of male and female children ages five to 12, including several of a prepubescent girl in a subfolder titled "Sweet Pedo Stars." Dolce could receive a minimum of 20 years in prison if found guilty of possessing child pornography.

He is now a jobless perv.

At the time of his arrest, Dolce worked for the law firm Cohen Milstead. He led its Sexual Abuse, Sex Trafficking, and Domestic Abuse Team. However, the firm fired him two days after his arrest. Dolce's work representing child sex abuse victims won him awards from the National Center for Victims of Crime, the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence, and the Florida Justice Association.

Conservatives have been targeting the LGBTQ community by suggesting they can't be trusted around children. Republicans run campaigns on creating fear without any facts to back up their claims. Don't believe me? Ask them who won the 2020 election.
