Aberdeen WA city councilman Riley Carter committed sex offense while trying to start an online vigilante group

This is Riley Carter who was elected to the Aberdeen City Council Ward 5 Position 9. I just cannot bring myself to feel sorry for Riley Carter. In addition to posting himself wearing a red Trump-style hate with the slogan "Make (P-word) Afraid Again," Riley Carter harassed and disparaged homeless persons on a regular basis, including referring to them as "tweakers" and the "walking dead."

But it gets crazier. Carter was trying to start an onlibe vigilante group he called, "Harbor Watchdogs LLC" and had even posted a GoFundMe to raise money for it. (No donations were made to the GoFundMe effort.)

On a related note, this clown bought the hat from one of a number of convicted criminals who spend an awful lot of time embellishing their prison lives on social media. This online seller glorifies biker gangs online and has been accused of lying about his time in prison. This online seller is apparently is upset about Riley's arrest while wearing a hat from his store (confirmed by seeing his online store logo on the hat), presumably because we all know that those who scream loudest about this issue tend to have something to hide.

ABERDEEN, Wash. — The Aberdeen City Council member charged with child rape resigned from jail, City Manager Ruth Clemens confirmed to KING 5.

Riley Carter signed a letter of resignation on Friday, Aug. 2, just a few days after his arrest. Detectives previously said Carter confessed to detectives, admitting he sexually assaulted a child known to him over the past two years.

Carter was arrested the night of Tuesday, July 30. According to documents filed in court Wednesday, July 31, Carter told detectives he needed help and expressed remorse toward his victim. Detectives said the victim is a child under the age of 12.

Grays Harbor Judge Vini Samuel ordered Carter held on $100,000 bail after charging Carter with one count of rape of a child.

Voters elected Carter to the Aberdeen City Council in December of 2023.
