A high-level aide to California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer has been charged in federal court with receiving and distributing child pornography.

The aide, Jeff Rosato, 32, was arrested last Friday. Boxer's office fired him that same day, as soon as it learned about the charges.

Rosato appeared in federal court in Virginia on Wednesday and was released to home detention on condition he not interact with children or use a computer. He was not required to post any bail or bond money but was being told to undergo medical treatment.

Boxer seems to have a knack for finding these kinds of guys.

Bernie Ward was an aide to Boxer when she was a congresswoman.

Bernie Ward, the most prominent liberal voice on Bay Area talk radio for more than two decades, admitted Thursday to distribution of child pornography by e-mail in a plea deal that will send him to federal prison for at least five years.

Ward worked as a schoolteacher, served as legislative assistant for then-Rep. Barbara Boxer for three years and was hired by KGO in 1985.

Still, Boxer hired this puke and tolerated him in the office for quite a long time.

She knew!

She knew!

I'd be surprised. There's nothing to be gained by knowingly keeping a kiddie-porn collector on your staff, and a lot to lose. From a purely pragmatic point of view, any politician is going to fire a guy like this as soon as they find out his predilictions.

[muawiyah]

So, Barbara Boxer has made herself the CENTERPIECE of a gang of child pronography criminals?

Maybe this is why Hillary's brother wasn't paying her daughter child support? Worth investigating in more depth to see what the Boxer women are really into with those young children.

See Post #15.

This woman has a track record of employing this kind of guy ~ so let me say it again SHE KNEW.

[ridesthemiles]

She only fired him because he got caught- NOT because he did something vile that Boxer didn’t agree with.

[tiki]

Seriously, as much as he probably needs to be horsewhipped, he is only charged with a crime, not convicted. Can you got fired just for a charge?

Between Jan. 2-Jan. 23, 2008, during more than 15 online chats, Rosato sent the detective more than 600 files of graphic images, according to the affidavit by FBI special agent Chad Gallagher. An analysis of Rosato's computer revealed he was also trading child porn with other Google Hello users.

Why did they wait 9 months later to charge him?

[NRA2BFree]

Just another "Faithless Liberal" screwing their constituent for the good of all.

More like he's screwing their children for the good of all perverts.

Who knew?

Apparently the FBI did. He's just another liberal freak who needs to be sent to prison for the rest of his life so that he will never get the chance to harm another child!

No innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?

Are Dem's going soft?

[LtKerst]

No Bail ...No Bond...kind of like William Jefferson....
90 thousand in cool cash...caught red handed....
never Prosecuted.
Democrats walk every time....

America is Dead.

Senator Boxer has zero tolerance for crimes against children
Such irony.

But it's TRUE! Senator Boxer is a defender of ALL children, except for the ones murdered in the womb by the knife of the abortionist, THOSE children aren't really children in Boxer's pathetic little world.

a bit off topic, but in the same line: Anyone watch O’Reilly last night? Dennis Miller was on and what he said almost made me spit soda all over the screen- Him and Billy were talking about AIG- Dennis said AIG should probably go to prison for corruption, and Billy said Yup- and probably Barney Frank should go to prison too- Dennis then said “Yeah, but I think maybe Barney might not mind going to prison”

I bout lost it on that one- Everyone in the studio including camera people were laughing

[soycd]

Democrat culture of corruption and law breakers.

Not a peep of this on the lame media.

[Betty Jane]

So, Barbara Boxer has made herself the CENTERPIECE of a gang of child pronography criminals.

Exactly. If she didn't know she should have. How can we trust her to make good decisions for the country when she makes awful decisions with her own staff. Did these guys ever babysit her grandchildren? Barbara Boxer either supports this behavior or is too incompetent to hold office?

Which is it, Babs?
