More Legal Trouble for Kent Hovind
- 1 view
According to an Oct. 21 federal indictment filed against Hovind and Paul John Hansen - a Nebraska man known for his vigorous opposition of government tax and property laws - the duo has been charged with mail fraud and criminal contempt for interfering with the sale of Pensacola properties Hovind was forced to forfeit as a result of the 2006 case.
The indictment says that in 2011, Hansen filed liens on nine of Hovind’s forfeited properties on North Palafox Street, Cummings Road and Oleander Drive.
In 2012 the government was granted an injunction ordering that neither Hovind nor any agent acting on his behalf file or attempt to file any “liens, notices, financing titles and claims of whatever nature…to cloud the title of the properties.”
The following year, both Hovind and Hansen reportedly mailed additional documents disputing the ownership of the property.
Both men were charged with mail fraud, attempt and conspiracy to commit mail fraud and criminal contempt. Mail fraud can be punishable by up to 20 years in prison and as much as $500,000 in fines when involving an organization.

Hovind has done great damage to the reputation of Christ and Christians. From his phony doctorate, which he insists upon wearing as it was a royal crown, to the years-long ridiculous battle of avoiding taxes, he has come to embody extreme fundamentalism and brought Phelpsonian (as in Westboro Baptist) levels of shame and scorn on legitimate Creationists and Christians. He somehow overlooks Romans 13 in his theological arguments.
If the data are there, throw the book at him. And, come to think of it, at Tim Geithner and Al Sharpton as well, both of whom are guilty of a lot of the same stuff as is Hovind.
Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
