About OnlyPhiles
OnlyPhiles is a public accountability database documenting Republican politicians, officials, and party-adjacent figures who have been accused, charged, or convicted of sexual offenses — particularly crimes against children.
This site exists because accountability requires visibility. These are public figures who sought or held positions of public trust. Their records should be searchable and accessible.
Data Sources
This database would not exist without the painstaking work of others who documented these cases long before we did. We are deeply grateful to:
📰 Daily Kos — Republican Sexual Predators, Abusers, and Enablers series
An ongoing investigative series published on Daily Kos
that has documented Republican sex offenders across dozens of installments since 2018.
The series is meticulous, sourced, and unflinching. It is some of the most important
accountability journalism being done on this topic.

🗂️ GOP Predators — goppredators.wordpress.com
An extensive WordPress archive that has catalogued over 1,500 individual Republican sex
offenders, each with their own post containing a summary, office held, and news source links.
The sheer scope of this resource is staggering, and the maintainer(s) deserve enormous credit
for keeping it updated.
The majority of entries in this database were sourced from their archive.

How it works
Each entry is categorized by status (convicted, charged, or alleged), political level (federal, state, local, party official, or adjacent), and crime type. Source links are included for every entry where available.
The "alleged" designation is used where charges have not been filed or a conviction has not occurred. Inclusion is based on credible news reporting.
