The Conservatives for Guilford County (C4GC) co-founders are featured prominently on the "straight only" dating website.

State criminal records show Riddleberger was convicted in 1995 for filming himself having sex with a 15-year-old girl when he was 25 years old. But while Riddleberger told local news station WRAL-TV that "I've already paid my debt for something I did 25 years ago," prison records don't show that he ever did jail time. His record for the past 23 years, however, shows no criminal activity since the 1995 conviction.
