ACLU exec busted for child porn

Former Virginia chapter president accused of downloading graphic assault videos

This is the same American Civil Liberties Union Goober, who once argued that Internet filters in libraries that limited children's access to pornography would interfere with their ability to learn and communicate.

Charles Rust-Tierney, 51, of Arlington, Va., who has been held in custody in the case since his arrest. Rusty admitted to authorities that he had downloaded videos and images from child pornography websites onto CD-ROMS, which reportedly depicted graphic forcible assaults on young girls.

Rust-Tierney, who served as president of the Virginia ACLU chapter for several years, was the lawyer who argued against Internet filters in libraries in the early 2000s when the ACLU was opposing the Children's Internet Protection Act.

The explicitness of the offending videos is evidenced by the reports that in one of the scenes a prepubescent girl is "seen and heard crying" and another is described as "bound by rope."

It is well known that the ACLU defends the most abhorrent and repulsive people, ideas and policies. Here is another one of their own who disgraces himself and the ACLU...............well done Rusty!
