Wisconsin: Veterans Affairs Board chairman resigned Monday after being charged with possession of illegal porn

Empower Wisconsin:

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers’ embattled state Veterans Affairs Board chairman resigned Monday more than two months after Milwaukee County prosecutors charged him with three felony counts of possession of child pornography.

Curtis Schmitt Jr. had refused to resign from his leadership post, even after he told police that he was addicted to adult pornography and sometimes received and downloaded child porn, according to the criminal complaint.

Evers’ office claimed the governor sent Schmitt a letter the day after the charges were filed, asking him to step down. But the Veterans Affairs Board chairman and his representatives ignored the letter. Evers —  as he did when the public called on him to remove Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm from office following the Waukesha Christmas Parade massacre — said he could not look into the matter until he received a complaint from a taxpayer.

Just two hours before Schmitt reportedly resigned, veteran and Republican gubernatorial candidate Kevin Nicholson sent Evers a  letter demanding the Democrat remove his 2019 appointee from office. If the governor needed a complaint to move, Nicholson said, he could consider his letter the complaint. MORE

  1. John Chisholm? Milwaukee County? Don’t expect a tough jail sentence. You thought that idiot waiting to be confirmed to the SCOTUS is soft on pedos? You ain’t seen nothing yet.

  2. Child porn is EVIL!!!
    Having said that, it is almost impossible to surf the web without some website linking to one of these odious places.
    Hang the bastid. And hang all of the sites with links to sites that encourage child porn. Even if that means 90% of the web gets put on death row.

  3. I lost a real good (or so I thought) friend who I had known for most of my adult life to child porn. I don’t know what happened or why he did it but he’s now in prison for the rest of his life and he lost his wife of 30 plus years and his 4 adult kids because of the evil attractiveness of child porn. A lot of us have struggled with porn because it’s so readily available now on the internet and but for the grace and mercy of God go I. If you pay with fire you’ll get burned every time, guaranteed.
