Christian Talk Radio Host Josh Kimbrell Charged With Sex Crime Against 3-Y-O Boy; Supporters Defend Character
Josh Kimbrell, 29, a Christian talk radio host and chairman of the Palmetto Conservative Alliance Foundation in South Carolina, was arrested and charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a 3-year-old boy. His supporters, however, have shot down the charge, saying it stems from a bitter custody battle between him and his ex-wife.
Arrest warrants from Greenville Police accuse Kimbrell, who hosts Common Cents radio show weekdays on 92.9FM/660AM, of playing a game with the minor that involved inappropriate touching and fondling, according to FOX Carolina.
A statement issued by the board of directors of Palmetto Conservative Alliance challenged the accusations as a character assassination by Kimbrell’s ex-wife, who is currently locked in a custody battle with him over their 3-year-old son.
“In our experience with Josh Kimbrell, we know him to be a loving, devoted father to his son. Josh has a right to be presumed innocent. At this stage in the process, the allegations that have been made against Josh are only allegations, not proof, which must be determined by the legal system,” said the statement.
