Summary

Jason Yates, former CEO of conservative Christian nonprofit My Faith Votes, which promotes voter turnout among evangelicals for Donald Trump, was arrested in Minnesota on charges of possessing child sexual abuse materials.

The investigation began after a relative discovered over 100 explicit images of minors on Yates’ hard drive, which was turned over to authorities.

Yates, who recently published an op-ed condemning “sexually deviant” messaging towards children, stepped down from his role in early August.

His former organization encourages Christians to vote based on conservative biblical values.
