A former Arlington County youth sports coach and civil rights lawyer who once headed Virginia's American Civil Liberties Union chapter was sentenced today to seven years in federal prison for buying child pornography that prosecutors labeled sadistic and masochistic.
Charles Rust-Tierney, 51, pleaded guilty in June to downloading hundreds of pornographic images of children as young as 4. Authorities said Rust-Tierney used a computer in his 11-year-old son's bedroom to view the files, which included a six-minute video that depicted sexual torture of children, set to a song by the rock band Nine Inch Nails.

Well, he’d serve as the perfect compliment to Jim Webb as the junior Senator from Virginia.
ACLU and NAMBLA are in bed together!
They’re gonna just love ole Rusty in prison.
Through the Looking Glass: WaPo reporting on an ACLU Kiddie Porn Freak and an NYT Reporter saying Bin Laden has been reading Daily KOS.
Realpolitik or a rare moment of clarity? FR Reports, You Decide.
I think he's only going to a minimum security facility.
Some other reports say he was co-counsel for the husband of Terry Shiavo. Interesting if true.
I’ll be damned! The good guys still do win one sometimes! The aCLU and porn go so well together.
Not with that kind of felony conviction, he’s not.

From the first page of a simple Google search. Interesting.
Yeww! I hope Trent Reznor gets a financial piece of this guy.
Read the full article.
Yes he is.
Remember this guy was a prominent lawyer.
He is going to get every break the judge thinks she can safely give him.
The sick bustard escapes the despair in his life by watching the pain and despair inflicted on helpless children.
Somehow I am not surprised that he was a major player in the ACLU.
Reading the descriptions in the article just leaves my mind reeling.

Amazing. You’re right: let this play out, though I think the story pretty much has already.
This POS will end up in protective custody because he will become too well known too quickly, and the only way he might stay alive for 7 years is to use his legal expertise to help his fellow inmates with their own court appeals.
I feel sorry for his son, who may end up being known for ‘who’ his father is.
Did Senator Craig actually get caught in a sex act or was he merely tapping his toes?
I do not condone child abuse or homosexual behavior. It is wrong. I am not in favor of it or promoting or protecting it in any way. It is not right, it is wrong, it is wrong, it is wrong, it is wrong.
I also do not think the the government should be arresting people for tapping their toes or looking at pictures because of what they may do. Lets just say I value freedom and liberty, and think we need to keep the scope of the government limited.
If the Senator or the ACLU guy is caught doing something, fry em for sure. Lets not get them for what they may do.
I do not support child abusers or toe tapping homos.
I merely value freedom.
I consider him to be an accessory to the abuse of those children.
Looking at pictures has no effect on the children. The other day a kid was charged with being a terrorist for drawing a picture of a gun. I'm going out on a limb here and suggesting a picture of a gun is not actually a gun. Pictures are actually nothing more than what they are, that is pictures. Pictures are not the real thing they are images.
Lets put people in jail for the real thing. I have no problem with that.
NO, I DO NOT HAVE ANY CHILD PORN NOR DO I HAVE THE LEAST BIT OF RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO DO.
