A former leader of the Aryan Nation was charged this week with sexually assaulting a young girl and providing obscene material to her.
WIS-TV reported that authorities in South Carolina arrested 59-year-old August Byron Kreis on Wednesday after the girl’s mother filed a report with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department.
Sheriff Leon Lott said that investigators discovered that Kreis shared pornography with the girl and sexually abused her for a three month period from September to November 2013. He was charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor under 12 and disseminating pornography to a child 12 or younger.
More charges were expected in Kershaw and Lexington counties.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, described Kreis as a “hot-tempered, longtime white supremacist and Christian Identity minister.”
