August Kreis has been a white supremacist, a Christian minister, a hater of Jews, a neo-Nazi and a Ku Klux Klan leader.
In a Lexington County courtroom, he became something else: a convicted child molester.
After a three-day trial, a Lexington County jury found Kreis, 61, guilty of one count of criminal sexual conduct involving a minor child and two counts of committing lewd acts on a child.
Three young women testified during the trial.
Circuit Court Judge Douet “Jack” Earley gave Kreis 50 years in prison — meaning he almost certainly will die behind bars.
Just before sentencing, Kreis declared, “I will always hate the Jew. This government is run by an evil group of people, and please — vote for Trump!”
The sentence caps a long career of extremism for Kreis, who has a Confederate flag on his Facebook page, a lengthy record of tangling with the law and advocating violence against the government and non-white ethnic groups.
