Charles McArther Emmanuel[1] (born February 12, 1978), also known as Chuckie Taylor, is the son of Charles Taylor, the former President of Liberia.[2]
Raised by his mother in the U.S. until he was 16, Taylor Jr. traveled to Liberia in 1994 to live with his father.[3] During his father's presidency, he became the commander of the infamously violent Anti-Terrorist Unit (ATU), commonly known in Liberia as the "Demon Forces". After returning to the United States, he was arrested by the government for human rights violations committed by the ATU. He is currently serving a 97-year sentence.[4]
