Former Aryan Nations leader charged with sexually abusing young Midlands girl | Crime | The State

A bit more background information on Kreis,,,

Kreis, a self-proclaimed white supremacist, once sought out national attention, appearing on The Jerry Springer Show on an episode called "A Racist Family." According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, he once headed one of a handful of competing splinter factions of the once-mighty Aryan Nations.

Because of widely publicized comments made after the 9/11 attacks that he and his followers wished to join al-Qaida, Kreis came under the scrutiny of federal law enforcement. During an examination of his financial records to investigate whether he had given material support to al-Qaida, officials discovered unreported income.

He served six months in jail in 2011 after pleading guilty to taking $193,000 in a need-based military pension, but failing to report other income. When he pleaded guilty, he was in a wheelchair because of several amputations from diabetes and told the court he had seven children under age 17.
