‘Thank You Jesus’ Sign Creator Lucas Hunt Charged with Child Exploitation

Lucas Hunt, co-founder of the popular Christian yard sign movement, faces allegations of receiving explicit materials involving minors.

Lucas Hunt, 25, was arrested in Asheboro, North Carolina, and charged with second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
Authorities allege Hunt received explicit video content involving two underage girls, following a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The investigation was conducted by the Invictus Task Force, a collaboration between local, state, and federal agencies focused on internet crimes against children.
Hunt, who co-founded the 'Thank You Jesus' sign initiative in 2016, has sold over 250,000 signs nationwide to support Christian organizations.
The Thank You Jesus Mission has removed Hunt’s name from its website, with its leadership emphasizing the movement’s broader mission beyond any individual.
