A Philadelphia-based outreach leader for Moms for Liberty - the conservative parental rights group that is pushing to exclude discussion of gender and diversity from school curricula - has been exposed as a registered sex offender.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Phillip Fisher Jr - a pastor and local Republican ward leader who volunteered at Moms for Liberty's national summit in Philadelphia this year - pleaded guilty in 2012 to a charge of aggravated sexual abuse involving a 14-year-old boy when he was 25 and living in Chicago.
