Richard Mack faces charges of alleged sexual abuse of a child—but his father, who heads up an anti-government sheriff’s association, says the accusations are bogus.
, “is an anti-government extremist group whose primary purpose is to recruit sheriffs into the anti-government ‘patriot’ movement.” The movement and its founder have rubbed shoulders with conspiracy movements like QAnon, which falsely alleges a widespread pattern of child sex-trafficking.
Mack’s lawyer, Travis Brown, said the charges were based on false allegations. “These charges and allegations against Mr. Mack are preposterous,” Brown told The Daily Beast.Reached by phone, Mack Sr. claimed his son’s ex-wife had filed false charges, leading to. Brown gave a similar account, accusing Mack’s ex of making unfounded claims over the course of a long custody battle. Brown said police had investigated the sex abuse allegations in 2019, but had not pressed charges at the time.
“He’s been falsely arrested before and he sued the agency that arrested him and he won an out-of-court settlement,” Mack Sr. said. “This has really gotten way out of hand and the indictment was an entire joke. He was not allowed any due process. He was not to even participate and he was not allowed to present any evidence whatsoever.”Mack Sr. and his movement gained popularity with local governments that opposed anti-COVID measures like masks.
