Furry Raiders “Foxler” sex crime case: Jacob Kovar pleads guilty in scheme to frame witness

by Patch O'Furr

Jacob Kovar, and his friend Lee “Foxler” Miller, founder of the Furry Raiders. Dogpatch Press has an exclusive copy of Kovar’s conviction documents, after being targeted by the crime, reporting it to police, and being cited as a source for Kovar’s arrest. This is a story of justice through journalism — with a strange twist.

The continuing story of nazi furries and their gang-like crimes. (Updated 2025)

In 2017, Dogpatch Press broke news that made national headlines. Fringe hate groups in the furry community were grabbing for control of groups and conventions. Nazi-furries are a mutation of mainstream culture war; neither accepted by their alt-right influences, or by regular furries. Nazifurs exist as a two-faced cult that overlaps both areas.

The news focused on the Colorado-based Furry Raiders, a nazifur group founded to infiltrate and troll the furry community, with origins in Griefer culture on Second Life. They peaked at around 200 online members in 2021, and still tread water at that level in 2025. (See timeline at bottom). 

In 2016 the Furry Raiders emerged under the real-life influence of Lee “Foxler” Miller, a troll with a history of sex predator and neo-nazi association. The first report by Dogpatch Press covered how they killed Denver’s Rocky Mountain Fur Con in 2017, using threats and hostile power grabs, while collaborating with a CEO who was a convicted sex offender. Followup stories covered associated groups and their crimes, and their victims who need vindication from hate and harassment.

In 2019, Denver police arrested Furry Raiders founder Lee “Foxler” Miller. He was charged for three felony sex offenses with a child that took place in 2015 at Rocky Mountain Fur Con. It was a pattern dating back to Miller’s posts about preying on children and dogs in the 2000’s on Livejournal. The 2015 offenses were uncovered by community members who helped police investigate in secret, until they informed Dogpatch Press after Miller’s arrest.

Exclusive court documents show how Miller’s inner circle reacted to undermine the case with a scheme to intimidate a witness. They planned to lure the witness into a trap, bait him for blackmail material, and use doxing, harassment and extortion to force him out of Miller’s case. The scheme had dual targets, with Dogpatch Press baited with false info about the witness, in hope of getting it repeated to hurt both targets.

The intimidation was led by Furry Raider Jacob Kovar while he played right-hand man to Miller. Kovar managed the group as admin, and at times operated out of Miller’s house. Kovar was shielding the group with retaliation at reporting, and had his own criminal history, known to Miller but not others until his arrest.

Repeat offenders.

The Furry Raiders plan proceeded until Dogpatch Press caught on, by due diligence and questioning suspicious cover identities who sent false “tips”. The investigation detected lies while they were being told. Kovar was told he was doing something illegal and proceeded anyway.

Police were alerted, and behind the scenes, they traced a threat sent by VOIP with a Furry Raiders source. Police also received a forged document mailed to them by Kovar, asking to cancel prosecution against Miller. These tactics echo the first Dogpatch Press report in 2017 about Furry Raiders doing intimidation with a fake legal letter, and anonymous threats received by Rocky Mountain Fur Con that Furry Raiders tried to blame on their enemies.

Two Furry Raiders were arrested in early 2020; Kovar and an accomplice who tried to destroy evidence. (The accomplice learned a costly lesson, and his lawyer told Dogpatch Press that he would have nothing more to do with the group.)

When the plan unraveled, it earned 8 felony charges for Miller’s right-hand man. Jacob Kovar was a Furry Raiders admin under the names Flare, Sneps, and several other false identities. He used “Dodger” to infiltrate a new convention starting in Wyoming, Furever West, and become Head of Security. Using a Furever West security position was Kovar’s tactic to seek the trust of Dogpatch Press. As soon as Dogpatch Press sent proof of his arrest to the con chair, Furever West dropped Kovar from staff. (Who got their first con canceled with a bomb threat in 2021 – and why is the con chair once again trusting Kovar in his circle in 2025?)

On top of all of those cover identities, it would later come out in court records that Kovar posed as 14 and 16 year old boys to lure the witness. It was a sexual crime. While he criminally impersonated young boys, Kovar was already on parole for a past sex offense while he worked out of Miller’s house.

Furry Raiders committed new sex crime, while already on parole for old sex crime, in an attempt to remove sex crime charges on their leader.

We don’t know more about Kovar’s past record that may be sealed, but this is officially in his new conviction document.

Kovar’s conviction for the intimidation scheme.

In 2021, a Colorado court resolved charges for Kovar. Evidently a deal was reached, and he pled guilty for felony Attempt to Influence a Public Servant and Invasion of Privacy for Sex Gratification. Those would be for the forged document and luring. The D.A. dismissed charges for Witness/Victim Retaliation, Stalking, Extortion, and Criminal Impersonation.

Kovar was ordered to stay away from the victim, get a new sex offender evaluation, and faces years in jail on top of penalties for violating parole. Sentencing is set for April 2021. Update: Kovar was sentenced to 8 years in jail, served several years, and is back out mingling with furries again including the con chair of Furever West.

Here’s 28 pages of legal docs (with redacted witness ID). The arrest warrant shows police recognizing the furry community and reporting by Dogpatch Press.

See the bizarre forged document sent to mislead police and try to get Miller out of charges… it might entertain lawyers.

A strange twist — that doesn’t remove implications about the Furry Raiders.

In mid-2020, Miller’s own sex offense charges were dropped; but he did not prove innocence by winning acquittal. The decision came during a trend of dropping many cases to reduce court work during a pandemic where all of the courts were strained beyond capacity. That’s lucky timing. Resting with Kovar’s case may have also met an expected conviction rate without taking chances on using court resources for another one.

Miller has not shown any official statement from a judge to clear him. By all appearances, he escaped by having a follower take the bullet.

It’s all consistent with reporting since 2017. The Furry Raiders are a threat to critics and kids by using gang-like tactics, and despite single members taking the fall, the entire group is complicit with crimes of their leadership.

There’s a key rebuttal to claims that their reputation suffers from false reporting by critics, or “both sides are to blame”. Miller was only charged in 2019 for offending at RMFC 2015, which was long before he was known to Dogpatch Press or the public. The crime report wasn’t seen here until after his 2019 arrest, because police learned from private sources and the witness was protected. The witness only made contact after being intimidated.

Lee “Foxler” Miller’s sex offense charges arose independently from attention on him, from pre-existing behavior.

So here’s the big question:

If Furry Raiders aren’t a group that preys on kids — why did they need a convicted sex offender like Kovar to shield them by intimidating a witness?

The witness was not intimidated to retract any claims. Furry Raiders now tell each other that the witness lied and Lee “Foxler” Miller won his innocence by proving it. That never happened and has no source except Miller himself.

Between those who take the charges seriously, and those who don’t… Let Kovar’s conviction tell you which side to believe.

REVIEW: Timeline of Furry Raiders emergence and nazifur controversy.

The Furry Raiders have always been the instigators of their own bad reputation. They were guilty from the start of public notice about trolling Rocky Mountain Fur Con by spreading nazi “dogwhistle” imagery, making threats and interfering with hotel room booking. Some RMFC board members were complicit enablers for it, and their mismanagement helped to kill the con. With the pattern continuing to now, it shows the consequences of tolerating nazifurs the first time they show up.

Here’s how this nazifur saga started:

  • April 2016 — Furry Raiders grab a block of rooms for RMFC before the official opening. That’s like hoarding pizza at a party and doling it out just to friends instead of having it shared by the whole party. The first provocation was theirs.
  • Through 2016 — Furry Raiders provoke controversy with nazi dogwhistle activity, including appeals to alt-right hatemonger Richard Spencer.
  • January 2017 — on Twitter, anti-nazi critic (DeoTasDevil) references a big headline that week: Richard Spencer getting punched.
  • The same day — RMFC bans “offensive imagery”, implying nazi dogwhistles; but Deo gets scapegoated for causing the problem with her tweet that referenced the mainstream news about Spencer.
  • February 2017 — VICE gives early mainstream notice to furries opposing nazis and the Furry Raiders.
  • March 2017 — Controversy leads to RMFC’s hotel requiring the con to provide expensive security, due to threats from unknown sources (the sources aren’t hard to guess when all subsequent threats come from the far-right.)
  • Soon after — Deo gets an illegitimate SovCit-style threat letter from RMFC’s CEO, Kahuki. It’s written by his board member friend Scorch (who is an active Furry Raider, corrupting the con.)
  • April 2017 — Dogpatch Press publishes the letter with “intimidation” headline, and evidence that CEO Kahuki is a registered sex offender.
  • The same day — RMFC is canceled, and mainstream news reports nazi ties; but Deo is scapegoated for years after in the fandom.
  • In an interview, RMFC’s Chair says threats kept coming from unknown sources (and they came before and after Deo’s tweet.)
  • RMFC owed taxes that weren’t paid for years; Kahuki had stepped down as chair 8 years earlier due to being a sex offender, but stayed CEO.
  • Followup finds complicity between CEO Kahuki, board member Scorch, and Foxler/Furry Raiders, all suspiciously tied to child sex offending.
  • RETALIATION: May 2017 — Califur convention is targeted with “swatting” calls to their hotel by nazi furries, as defiance to critics.
  • Through 2017 — Nazi furries are active with alt-right organizing, including Richard Spencer’s Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
  • More interference with events by Nazi furries, Furry Raiders are banned from events, and the Denfur convention is planned to take RMFC’s place.
  • RETALIATION: Late 2017 — Denfur is targeted with a scheme to falsely book rooms so the con will fail; room booking is forced to restart. It’s suspiciously similar to RMFC and Califur receiving threats.
  • An ex-Furry Raider comes out to name Foxler for leading the scheme, which cost Denfur $40,000 with stolen credit cards and ID’s (possibly obtained from RMFC’s registration list).
  • Early 2018 — Discord bans nazi servers where Unite the Right was planned, and sweeps out members; Nazi furries are banned along with them.
  • March 2018 — a prominent alt-right troll (Weev) joins Furry Raiders, hoping to bring Foxler to Richard Spencer events. Weev’s associates at nazi blog The Daily Stormer coordinate trolling with him.
  • May 2018 — FurAffinity bans numerous nazi-furry accounts, with a new policy against promoting hate groups.
  • August 2018 — Denfur breaks attendance records, while their security marches Foxler out.
  • April 2019 — Foxler is arrested for a child sex offense that coincided with RMFC 2015, but was previously unknown.
  • RETALIATION: Fall 2019 — Furry Raiders team up with a prominent alt-right troll (Milo Yiannopoulos) to troll Midwest Furfest.
  • Followup finds ties between nazi furries and a violent gang (the Proud Boys). Milo wanted street fights at MFF, with sympathizers hoping it would turn into the fandom’s own J6-style riot; but Milo was stopped from going.
  • RETALIATION: Late 2019 — Dogpatch Press is targeted with intimidation scheme in hopes to neutralize Foxler’s sex offenses; reporting to police leads to arrests of 2 Furry Raiders.
  • Through 2020 — A Dogpatch Press story about threats by nazi furries collects the most evidence yet about their ties to terrorism. It includes FBI reports of swatting schemes, violent hate groups recruiting kids, and murders in Charlottesville and Texas.

2019: Kovar (as Sneps) and Milo plan for MFF.

Joining or supporting a nazifur group is an inherent threat. Nazifurs chase power even with constant consequences for being toxic, and they’ll resort to crime before they ever stop being a nuisance. More than ever, this story is evidence for why to keep them out. Don’t give them a single opportunity; ban them on sight.
