According to Fox 13, Aberdeen Councilman Riley Carter, arrested on July 30 for the first-degree rape charges of an 11-year-old relative, has pleaded not guilty despite earlier confessing to the charges. Court documents detail the accusations, including testimonies and surveillance footage provided by the victim’s mother, who installed cameras to watch over her three disabled children. This case has shocked Aberdeen residents, not only because of the crime but also because Carter publicly opposed pedophilia, as shown in a selfie where he wore a hat with the slogan “Make Pedophiles Afraid Again.”
