Power and Control Addict? Leader of Minuteman Civil Defense Corps Charged With Child Molestation
Chris Simcox, the former leader of one of the largest militia groups patrolling the Arizona border during the peak of the nativist Minuteman movement, has been charged with molesting three young girls.
Simcox, 52, was arrested yesterday after detectives found probable cause that he had molested the girls, all under the age of 10, police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson told Reuters. The charges stem from incidents over the last few months. Simcox has denied all charges, according to a press release from the Phoenix Police Department.
He faces two counts each of child molestation and sexual conduct with a minor, and one count of attempted child molestation.
