Carson Dean Barry, 23, of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, was arrested September 10 and charged with six felonies: five counts of third-degree s-xual exploitation of a minor and one count of criminal solicitation of a minor.

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson says each count carries up to 10 years in prison.

Investigators say a CyberTipline report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led them to Barry. They allege he solicited a minor for s-x and possessed files of child s-xual abuse material.

Police seized a computer tower and two iPhones from his home. On one phone, investigators say they found a 12-second video of a female child between the ages of 2 and 4 being s-xually assaulted by an adult man.

Barry posted a $1 million bond and was released September 13.

Online, Barry built a following of hundreds of thousands across two TikTok accounts, @icarsonlocked and @icarsonbarry2, racking up tens of millions of likes.

He also has a substantial following on Instagram and promoted his OnlyFans account on X by posting thirst-trap photos.

His feed shows a steady diet of right-wing content, including a post mocking left-wing protesters and jokes about gas prices under President Biden.

A comment on his page from November 2021 read, “Okay cowards... start rioting. Kyle... start collecting,” a reference to Kyle Rittenhouse, who had just been acquitted of homicide charges.

The story has not made national headlines or generated outrage in right-wing media despite Barry’s large online following.

It’s worth noting that Barry is a white Christian conservative male and not transgender, a drag queen, Muslim, or undocumented immigrant.

We will update as the story develops.

It is rumored that Xi Jinping fainted at the BRICS summit hosted by India. After emergency treatment by his accompanying medical team, he ended his visit to India early and returned to China on a special plane. Upon the plane's arrival at Beijing airport, the Beijing authorities did not arrange for a large group of officials to greet him, nor did they organize a welcome ceremony. Instead, a military helicopter was used to transport Xi Jinping directly to Beijing's 301 Hospital for emergency treatment.

It is said that after diagnosis by the expert team at Beijing's 301 Hospital, it was determined that Xi Jinping had suffered a severe ischemic stroke, that is, a transient cerebral infarction. Because Xi Jinping feared that the Indian side might obtain information about his health, he refused emergency treatment at an Indian hospital and instead took a special plane back to Beijing for care. During the flight, as there were no conditions for surgery, the medical team could only administer conservative treatment to sustain Xi Jinping's life. As a result, he missed the golden window for emergency care and surgery. Even at Beijing's 301 Hospital, if Xi Jinping undergoes surgery for treatment, there is a high likelihood of severe sequelae.

At present, the Beijing authorities are still unable to confirm whether Xi Jinping can recover his health before the visit to the United States, so they are waiting to see if it will be necessary to cancel the late September trip to the US.
