Nazifur sex offender keeps going in and out of jail while misleading furries to trust him
by Patch O'Furr
SERIES: Who runs your community? Five stories about predators with powerful friends in fandom.
Trust put a predator in a power position
In Colorado, Jacob Kovar was a nazifur sex offender who was convicted after his arrest warrant credited investigation by Dogpatch Press. Kovar did crimes as head of security for a furry convention, until they got tipped and fired him. After years in jail, Kovar returned to the community with friends in a regular furry group, while he was allegedly violating parole to be online. Kovar had his parole revoked and was arrested again in late 2025.
This is an update to a 2021 story. To review, Kovar first came to notice as right-hand man of notorious nazifur Lee “Foxler” Miller. Kovar was already a convicted sex offender when Miller made him admin for his Furry Raiders nazifur group. The Furry Raiders acted as a revolving door for numerous predators loyal to Miller. When Miller himself was charged with three child sex felonies, Kovar jumped in front of the bullet. His bright idea — while on parole — was to intimidate a witness in Miller’s case to get the charges dropped. Kovar briefly became a con head of security, and targeted Dogpatch Press with hope to cause false reporting against the witness. Instead it was reported to police, Kovar and a Furry Raider accomplice were arrested, and Kovar got a new sex offender record with jail he completed in 2024.
This update looks at what happened between Kovar’s return from jail and going back in 2025.
How did he get trusted again?
In 2019, when Kovar used a false cover identity, he became real Head of Security of a small new furry con. The con hadn’t started and he got no access to goers, but he used the title for influence for crimes. When a sex offender on parole can do that, and a reporter has to figure it out, what diligence are we getting from leaders? On the other hand, fandom and volunteerism built the new convention without established organizers, who were also misled by a predator. When the con got tipped about Kovar’s new arrest, they gave straightforward engagement and took action to fire him, so there wasn’t more criticism towards the con.
After Kovar spent several years of jail, he had his chance to do better, but in 2025, multiple sources made contact after reading about him. Some of them weren’t in the furry community and were noticing ongoing shady behavior.
Here’s what tippers believed. With Kovar’s parole conditions, he wasn’t supposed to be online, but had enablers who allegedly kept a fursuit for him and gave him an account under someone else’s name to get around parole conditions. Dogpatch Press reviewed a hobby group he used and found nearly 1800 posts by Kovar, and his identity wasn’t a well-kept secret. Members referenced knowing his workplace and shared photos with his face and tattoos. They apparently also made Kovar admin for over 150 members.
A tip was received about Kovar going back on an ankle monitor in July 2025:
Wanna laugh… read the first screenshot. The Furry Raiders have such a bad memory about their group admin Jacob Kovar and his recidivist felonies, some of them committed while using Foxler’s house. I was just tipped that Kovar is back on an ankle monitor.

Kovar was arrested again in September 2025:
Dogpatch Press was shown a private document with protected source that officially revoked his parole. A nonfurry source also sent a tip that police brought Kovar to his former workplace in the back of a squad car, to ask what contacts with minors he had at work.
Results of further investigation
Several points stood out about Kovar’s activity in a furry hobby group:
(1) The September arrest shows Kovar really was breaking parole like July tips said. Please send tips if you have more information about enablers.
(2) The chair of the con that fired Kovar in 2019 was interacting with him in the group. Reporter questions about it got straightforward engagement. The con chair said the furry group didn’t belong to him, he was using it for help with personal projects, and took action to make Kovar’s behavior unwelcome at the con.
(3) Why did the furry hobby group make Kovar an admin? Questions to the group owner found it wasn’t what it looked like. The owner said that the admin title was just a tag, and he wasn’t part of the actual admin chat. Kovar told them he was making effort to change and be a better person, while downplaying his charges to mislead about what they were. The owner was surprised to see legal records, said he was misinformed, and took action about it. (Updated below)
In personal life, sometimes people choose to stay friends with someone who got charges and give them second chances. In this case, it appears that a recidivist who manipulated trust and power hasn’t changed that much.
Furries may learn that fan-based loyalty can be vulnerable to manipulation. We can be understanding but ask for better. Some leaders who hide suspicious behavior can be criticized for corruption, but straightforward engagement makes a big difference.
UPDATE 11/25/25: Kovar’s illegal internet activity was a group effort
You just read sensitive handling of associates in the story. After it was complete, the appearance of straightforward engagement was taken back by the group owner Distortion with his car hobbyist group Chasing Tails.
Distortion claimed that Kovar was tolerated in the group because of a convincing story about doing better after “domestic” charges, which would clearly be a lie to cover up without accountability for his crimes. Distortion was shown legal documents of Kovar’s sex offending, did not deny the identity match, and said Kovar would be removed. Kovar was not removed from Chasing Tails. Distortion removed the messages from Telegram with a block to cover for Kovar.
It was already known that Kovar had friends helping him to weasel around limits, and now including this story in a series about corruption makes a lot more sense. That weaseling violated his parole, so these helpful friends are why he is back in jail — and that doesn’t solve the problem with the group itself.
UPDATE 1/20/26: Evidence of Distortion lying for Kovar
The Chasing Tails group helped Kovar to do illegal activity that he was arrested for. Now group owner Distortion is doubling down.
Distortion was contacted in September 2025. He saw proof of Kovar’s convictions, and claimed to remove Kovar from Chasing Tails, but he didn’t. This report about it was published weeks later on 10/23/25. Distortion still had Kovar’s account in the group at that time. On November 19, evidence of the account still in Chasing Tails was shown to a source inside the legal process.
(You can see that Dogpatch Press publicly reported Kovar going back on an ankle monitor, months before his new arrest, to verify that inside sources are speaking.)
The November 19 discussion with an inside source included the below screenshot of Kovar’s account in Chasing Tails. It was reported here on November 25.
Distortion is now claiming that he’s a victim of false reporting, and he did take action when notified. Remember, he was told in September.
The above proof of Distortion lying shows that more than ever, the community is at risk from groups who enable the behavior that put Kovar back in jail.

Hey, on the Distortion thing, you’re being unfair. I don’t want to get in the middle of this. Just so you know, when anyone reports someone is something like a Nazifur to an admin. The admin reviews the evidence and investigate. This can take a day because it’s done during free time off work. There’s been plenty of times of false identity, misunderstanding and even malicious reporting to try and remove a member. Not enough due diligence was done here. If the dude was still around weeks later, okay. But a day or two, admin is voluntary position and people have lives outside that demand attention to.
Distortion was contacted in September. The article and 5 others written over a month was published in October. Distortion allowed Kovar’s account Wrex in the group until at least November 19, almost a full month after this was published and 2 months after he lied about removing Kovar.
These things are in the article, the publishing date (see URL) and the screenshot you can see up there, which somehow you failed to check before commenting, if we’re being charitable, which we shouldn’t be based on the history of fucking cronyism here.
Are you really trying to pretend the poor victim owner didn’t notice for two fucking months after he said Kovar was removed?
Now that we established what how weak these defenses are, this is what happens every fucking time with this type of shitty management favoring friends. They say they’ll act then they don’t. When crimes come out, they didn’t see, didn’t have time, don’t know those people, after seeing and knowing them intimately for years… and then they don’t read the evidence in front of their eyes.
I’m so. Fucking. Tired. of it.
Also, hi, Distortion and anyone you may be sending here. Own up to what you did and stop sneaking around and weakly trying to counter-smear to hide it. Fucking coward. I’ve removed the smearing portion of your stupid comments because you don’t get a platform here to lie about people. You went first with removing my polite September contacts on Telegram, real honest to hide the evidence there, so don’t even try crying about it.
I know who you’re taking cues from, people in Kovar’s life talk to me, and you should take a cue instead from Kovar’s criminal conviction for behavior that was enabled by people urging you in your little crony circle to come do this.
Also use your shitty reading skills and notice that the link you tried posting before has a lie right in the title, saying that I was sued, but neglecting to mention that I won and got a thank you from another victim who won after me and got a NY Times profile for beating the same abuser I did. You want to smear me, try it in grown up court. Powerful people have tried and ended up losing their their career and I’ve never lost. That’s public record.
Kovar himself tried to stop me from reporting on his other friend (Foxler) who caught 3 felony charges, and caught his own 8 year jail sentence for it. It takes a real dumb ass to fail to connect the dots of you stepping in line to be the next chump to try protecting a guilty person.
You got fair and polite treatment at the start coming from a great deal of due diligence, which included my work being credited in Kovar’s arrest warrant for helping a victim to report abuse. You got a fair article that didn’t even name you or your group, giving charity you absolutely did not deserve for not knowing of the nasty people within who collaborated with Kovar. You threw that fairness in my face.
There is one other person who was consulted who still isn’t named because they didn’t fail at being smart and honest. I even had suspicions because they associated with a disreputable group like yours, but they haven’t shown their ass like you did.
How dare you pretend to be done wrong. FUCK YOU, you corrupt piece of shit, and fuck your crooked little group that enabled a recidivist predator and got you to double down on lying.
