Sentencing of Threatening Individual
A man from South Carolina, who acknowledged threatening to kill Congresswoman Nancy Mace, has received a sentence that allows him to avoid prison. Instead, he will face house arrest and probation.
Samuel Theodore Cain, identifying as a transgender woman named “Roxie Wolfe,” allegedly posted a message on X expressing his intention to assassinate Mace on April 26, 2025. In a report, he stated, “I’m going to assassinate Congresswoman Nancy Mace with a gun. I’m 100% going to die.”
Cain was arrested in May 2025 but was denied bail three times, which led to visible distress, as reported. Ultimately, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years; however, this was suspended in favor of 30 months of house arrest and five years of probation.
Additionally, the ruling included a restraining order against him, requiring GPS monitoring, psychiatric evaluations, a curfew, weekly drug testing, and a ban on using social media. As long as he fulfills these conditions, he will not serve time in prison, despite having threatened Mace multiple times while awaiting trial.
During a conversation regarding another incident, Cain made comments indicating he could still be a threat to Mace if the circumstances allowed it.
Mace noted the rising frequency of violent threats against public figures. She expressed concern, stating, “The fabric of our country is being torn apart from within. We are overwhelmed by violent threats against those we serve, but nothing will stop us from fighting for South Carolina.”
Following Cain’s arrest, it was highlighted that he was the first transgender activist charged with such a threat, despite a history of receiving threats himself. Mace commented, “Capitol Police and SLED acted quickly on this death threat, and we should. No one should receive death threats for criticizing radical gender ideologies.”
Another individual, Sheila Addison, faced charges earlier this year for sending threatening messages to Mace. She has since been sentenced to 27 months in federal prison.
Despite the dangers she faces, Mace remains resolute, declaring, “We will not back down. We will not stop fighting to protect women and children.”
