Ex-Boxer aide gets five years for child porn

ALEXANDRIA, VA. -- A former aide to Sen. Barbara Boxer was sentenced today to five years in federal prison for receiving child pornography.

Jeff Rosato, 32, of Arlington, Va., who was remanded into custody after pleading guilty in January, must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III said at a hearing in Alexandria, Va.

"He lost everything he worked so hard to achieve up to this point in his life. Rosato is keenly aware of the consequences of his actions and the new choices he must make for himself and his future from this point forward," Lavonda Graham-Williams, an attorney for Rosato, wrote in a sentencing memorandum in which she asked the judge to impose the minimum sentence of five years.

Federal prosecutors sought a sentence of between 6 1/2 years and just over eight years.

Rosato was arrested in November and was promptly fired by Boxer's office.

...

The case is one of two federal investigations with connections to Boxer.

Boxer's nephew, Noel Gillett, 44, of Oakland was indicted by a federal grand jury in San Francisco on April 14 on charges that he threatened to kill an FBI agent and hurt an employee of Boxer who he believed was plotting to have him killed. Gillett has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail.

Gillett also said he believed Oakland police were trying to kill him and that he would be protecting himself if he killed police officers, authorities said.

Yup, good ol’ Bernie Ward, the spittle-flicking corpulent leftist of KGO radio, now cooling his heels in the California corrections system.
