Thank You Jesus Signs Creator Faces Exploitation Charges

Lucas Hunt, known for creating the 'Thank You Jesus' yard signs, has been arrested and charged with second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor after allegedly receiving explicit material involving underage girls. The arrest followed a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, prompting an investigation by the Invictus Task Force. Hunt, who gained recognition in 2016 for his signs supporting Christian organizations, has been released on a $75,000 bond and will appear in court on March 19. The 'Thank You Jesus' movement, which Hunt started as a teenager, has sold over 250,000 signs nationwide. Despite the charges, the organization has declined to comment on his status, though they acknowledge his contributions to the community. Hunt's family has stated his innocence, and the investigation is ongoing.
