ACLU Pervert - Update 2

Some months ago, a former president of the Virginia ACLU was arrested on child pornography charges. He had argued, earlier, that Virginia libraries shouldn't put any sort of filtering software on their computers. He was caught after using his credit card to buy pictures over the 'net (duh!), which he viewed on his ten year-old son's computer.

I'd forgotten to watch for the outcome. Apparently, he was back in court over two weeks ago.

A former Arlington County youth sports coach who once headed the Virginia ACLU pleaded guilty yesterday to charges that he purchased child pornography so graphic that prosecutors called it "sadistic."

Charles Rust-Tierney, 51, admitted that he accessed more than 850 pornographic images of children as young as 4, including a six-minute video depicting the sexual torture of children set to a song by the band Nine Inch Nails.

Rust-Tierney, a public defender in the District and a past president of the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia, faces up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced Sept. 7. His attorneys and prosecutors agreed to recommend a sentence of 8 to 10 years.
