ACLU ex-president charged in child-porn case
THE WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | February 24, 2007 | Jerry Seper

Federal authorities yesterday charged the former president of the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia, who serves as a leader of youth sports organizations in the state, with receiving and possessing child pornography.

Charles Rust-Tierney, 51, of Arlington, was named in a criminal complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Alexandria and was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and Arlington County police...

Mr. Rust-Tierney, a former public defender in the District, was identified in court documents as having coached various youth sport teams in and around Arlington County...

ICE officials had no comment on the case. One agent said in a sworn affidavit yesterday that Mr. Rust-Tierney has subscribed to various child-pornography Web sites over the past several years.

The affidavit states that Mr. Rust-Tierney also admitted to an agent yesterday that he had downloaded videos and photos, which were found in a search of his home, from child-porn sites...

Speaking for the ACLU, Mr. Rust-Tierney was a leading proponent in the late 1990s for unrestricted access to the Internet, arguing before the Loudoun County Library Board that people would "continue to behave responsibly and appropriately while in the library" and that "maximum, unrestricted access to the valuable resources of the Internet" should be allowed...

Mr. Rust-Tierney also argued that parents should have the primary responsibility for setting rules for their children regarding Internet access, and that "older minors should have access to resources appropriate for their age group, even if such materials may be considered by some parents to be unsuitable for younger minors..."

Mr. Rust-Tierney's wife, Diann Rust-Tierney, is executive director of the D.C.-based National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty.

THis goes a long way toward explaining the ACLU defense of homos, pedophiles, NAMBLA, and other assorted deviants.

People in trailer parks would never tolerate the homopeds (homo pedophiles) which are representative of the gayly homosexuals chasing down children in schools, the boy scouts, and various other childrens organizations for deviant fun and now for profit too. This crap has been going on in the Bay Area of San Fran for decades but never gets the attention of the press. This is the sickening essence of gaydom which still hides in the closet recesses.

The only pic I could find on a Google search is of the wife Dian, who is a very attractive, apparently black woman. Don't know if this guy is black or white. Who is Rust and who is Tierney?
