Apparently, the Democrats LOVE child molesters....

And this article even includes copies of the charging documents in the first case mentioned....



A bail fund promoted by Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris and many staffers on Joe Biden's campaign helped release an accused child abuser, documents obtained by Fox News indicate.


Timothy Wayne Columbus, a 36-year-old-man, is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly penetrating a girl in 2015 when she was about 8 years old. A warrant was issued for his arrest on June 25. But he was later bailed out of jail and according to a court document, filed to have his bail money returned to Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF), the organization Harris and many Biden staffers asked their followers to donate to during the rioting in Minneapolis earlier this year.


The allegations against Columbus are macabre. The arrest warrant in the case states that the girl Columbus allegedly assaulted lived with her grandmother, who regularly spent time with her friend "Tim," while the girl was seven and eight years old. When the girl was about eight, the victim told police, "'Tim' laid her on her couch and held her down as he unbuckled his pants and then pulled down her pants. Victim stated he then 'put his thing inside me.'"

The warrant continues: "Victim states 'Tim' told her not to tell anyone and continued to penetrate her. Victim did not tell anyone what happened at the time but years later told a family member."

The warrant also says that the grandmother said she has seen Columbus tell the girl "This is our secret" at one point and that the grandmother suspected Columbus had hurt the girl in some way. The girl's mother said 'she learned years later 'something happened.'"


The maximum sentence for the crimes Columbus is accused of is 30 years in prison. Columbus denied the allegations to police.

Bail money is essentially collateral to ensure a person shows up for future court dates. If a person pays bail, then appears for their court dates, that money is refunded. When bail funds like MFF pay bail for people, they have the defendants -- in this case Columbus -- sign documents requesting that the money be returned to the fund. This allows the bail funds to then use the money to pay somebody else's bail in the future, unless a defendant does not show up for their court date. Then the bail fund simply loses the money.

In Columbus' case, bail was set at $75,000 for conditional release and $300,000 for unconditional release. The document on which Columbus requests his bail money be returned to MFF does not indicate the amount. But a July 1 order recorded on the Minnesota courts website indicates that Judge Tamara Garcia ordered Columbus' conditional release.


Columbus is not the first alleged violent criminal MFF has helped secure the release of.

FOX 9 reported earlier this summer that MFF had raised $35 million in the wake of George Floyd's death in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department. A recent update on its website indicates that it has spent at least $3,475,000 bailing people out of jail in recent months, with just $210,000 of that being spent bailing out protesters and rioters who were arrested in the unrest immediately following Floyd's death.


FOX 9 also first exposed some of the non-protesters being bailed out by MFF, including Darnika Floyd, who was charged with second-degree murder after allegedly stabbing a friend to death, and Christopher Boswell, who is facing charges of sexual assault and kidnapping. The group put up $100,000 on behalf of Floyd and $350,000 on behalf of Boswell.

Boswell had previously been convicted twice on sexual assault charges and was prosecuted by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., when she was the Hennepin County attorney.

MFF has an official policy that it does "not make determinations of bail support based on the crimes that individuals are alleged to have committed."



"MFF believes that every individual who has been arrested by the police is innocent until proven guilty, and if a judge deems them eligible for bail, they should not have to wait in jail simply because they don’t have the same income or resources as others with more privilege," MFF says on its website.

The Biden campaign is in favor of ending cash bail on the grounds that it is discriminatory against those who don't have the financial means to pay their bail.


"Cash bail is the modern-day debtors’ prison," it says on its website. "The cash bail system incarcerates people who are presumed innocent. And, it disproportionately harms low-income individuals. Biden will lead a national effort to end cash bail and reform our pretrial system by putting in place, instead, a system that is fair and does not inject further discrimination or bias into the process."


In addition to Harris, numerous Biden staffers promoted the Minnesota Freedom Fund during the George Floyd riots.

"While massive criminal justice and immigration reform is needed immediately we have to do what we can now. Let's continue to support @MNFreedomFund. #GeorgeFloyd Who's Next?" one Biden organizer named Patrick McCarthy tweeted.

"Cash bail is discrimination against the poor and must be abolished Let's keep up this support for the @MNFreedomFund. Who's next?" another named Sal DeFrancesco said.

Reuters reported at least 13 Biden staffers publicized donations to MFF.

The Biden campaign did not immediately return a request for comment on this report.
 
Are you pro " debtors prison” ?


This has nothing to do with "debtors prison" at all. Just with getting perverts off the street.

The link between the Democratic Socialists and paedophilia is well established. Have you forgot how the 2016 nominee was putting national security secrets on a child molester's laptop? The FBI discovered it on convicted deviate Carlos Danger aka Anthony Weiner's machine.
 
Only scumbags would bail out these rioters, especially someone like this Columbus pedophile. It's established that Harris is partial to sexual deviants and Biden exhibits some creepy pedo tendencies, so I guess bailing out these kind of dangerous assholes should come as no surprise. The only smart thing to do is vote straight Republican. Either that or surrender all your rights and freedoms to China.
 
Are you pro " debtors prison” ?
Are YOU in favor of just releasing violent felons every time they're arrested, so that they can continue to victimize innocent citizens?????

Apparently they were already released, and Biden and Harris were not in charge in any releases.

So your OP gets a fat 0.
But they, along with their campaigns, are actively supporting the fund that's getting the violent felons released back out into the public....

That makes them complicit, and demonstrates that they are a serious risk to public safety.....
 
“Timothy Wayne Columbus, 36, faces up to 30 years in prison for allegedly sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl in 2015, court records show. He was released from a Minneapolis jail in early July on $75,000 bail, according to jail records,” the Daily Caller reported.
--------------------------------------
So the man sitting in prison for 5 years was not indicted.

You must be pro debtors prison, so the poor can't afford bail rot in prison without being indicted.

The Democrats (along with Biden's campaign) think child molesters and violent felons should be released where they can run amok....
