Man on dating website for Trump supporters is a convict: report


A man featured prominently on a new dating website catered to Trump supporters turns out to have a felony conviction for taking indecent liberties with a child, according to a report.

William Barrett Riddleberger and his wife Jodi Riddleberger posed for the Trump.dating website, proudly sporting their “Make America Great Again” hats.

Just hours after the dating site went viral on social media, Riddleberger’s criminal history emerged, WRAL reported.

The couple has since disappeared from the homepage and Riddleberger, who was 25 when he videotaped himself having sex with a 15-year-old girl, told the local news station, “I’ve already paid my debt for something I did 25 years ago.”

He said he’s been married for 22 years, and his wife is the founder of the “Conservatives for Guilford County” PAC based in North Carolina.

“Although not officially designated as a ‘Tea Party’, we identified with the Taxed Enough Already movement that began growing after the elections of 2008,” according to the PAC’s website.

The dating site, which aims to match fellow Trump supporters, states, “We're wrecking the dating game and giving like-minded Americans a chance to meet without the awkwardness that comes with the first conversation about politics.”

“Wouldn't it be refreshing to already know that your date roots for the same team?”

The website, which was created under the riends Worldwide umbrella of dating services, has come under fire for only allowing heterosexual men and women to sign up.

Others have noted the dating site allows users to choose between “happily married” or “unhappily married” options.
