Meet MAGAt influencer Nicholas John Sortor @nicksortor, a prominent conservative social media commentator who is currently classified as an active fugitive by the state of Kentucky. In September 2022, Sortor was booked by law enforcement in Franklin County, Kentucky, and was ultimately convicted of third-degree criminal mischief, a Class B misdemeanor involving intentional or wanton property damage. Following the conviction, a Kentucky court handed down a 90-day jail sentence, which was suspended in favor of active probation supervision.
By January 2024, the Kentucky Department of Corrections officially updated Sortor’s record to "Probation (Misdemeanant) — ABSCONDED" after he allegedly failed to maintain contact with his probation officer or notify authorities of his whereabouts.
The background details of his Kentucky record include graphic allegations of physical violence against a woman. In 2020, Sortor faced heavy legal scrutiny following a felony burglary arrest in Kentucky. According to police allegations and local public records from the incident, Sortor allegedly forced his way into a woman's apartment, grabbed her by the hair, and slapped her after she rejected his sexual advances, before unlawfully taking her dog. While he avoided a felony conviction by pleading guilty to the lesser criminal mischief charge, the violent nature of the original 2020 encounter remains documented in public records.
Because his 90-day sentence remains unserved, his current fugitive status means he faces an active bench warrant and immediate jail time if apprehended within the state of Kentucky.
