Jeffrey P. Rosato: Pedophile Douchebag

Posted by: Tristan

Jeffrey Rosato, a senior aide to Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), was fired from his post last Friday, the same day he was arrested on charges of receiving and distributing child pornography.  He appeared in US District court on Wedneday in Alexandria, VA, but was released, on the condition that he stay away from children and computers.

According to an FBI affidavit, an unnamed person “distributed more than 600 files containing graphic images and movies of child pornography to an undercover detective that [the person] believed was a 13-year-old boy” over the course of more than 15 online chats during a three-week period in January. In that person’s computer, the FBI found information suggesting the person had exchanged pornography with Rosato.

Investigators also found pornographic photos and movies of children on Rosato’s laptop computer during a Nov. 4 search of his Alexandria home, according to the affidavit. “Many of the images and videos depict prepubescent boys engaged in sexual acts,” it said.

So that’s nice…

Rosato has retained criminal defense lawyer Patrick N. Anderson as his attorney. Anderson apparently specializes in defending sex criminals and terrorists.

If Rosato’s douchebag credentials were in any doubt, he started his work in the Senate working for certified douchebag Senator Robert “The Torch” Torricelli (D-NJ), who did not seek reelection when a campaign finance scandal tied him to a Chinese businessman with North Korean connections and was later caught using his campaign money to fund his post-Senate lobbying career.

In October, a Senate aide for Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), James Michael McHaney was sentenced to 3 years for Federal charges of child porn possessions.

Perhaps these two “rippers” can be cellmates…

*UPDATE*

Maybe they’re not pedophiles.  Maybe they’re actually terrorists…
