McLEAN, Va. (AP) - Court records show a former president of the Virginia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is expected to plead guilty to charges stemming from child pornography possession case.
A judge in Alexandria today scheduled a plea agreement hearing for 51-year-old Charles Rust-Tierney of Arlington. It was not clear what charges would be included in the plea agreement.
A grand jury indicted Rust-Tierney earlier this month on one count each of receipt and possession of child pornography. According to federal sentencing guidelines, a conviction at trial on both counts could have resulted in a prison sentence of 11 to 14 years.
Rust-Tierney -- who also coached Little League baseball in Arlington -- has been in jail since his arrest.
At pretrial hearings, two judges refused to grant bail, describing the pornography in question as some of the most sickening they had ever encountered.
Want to bet he gets time served and some lenient form of probation?

Excerpt:
They say Rust-Tierney had video showing, among other things, the sexual torture of infants and toddlers. The judge said shed never heard of child pornography that vile and said because of that, Rust-Tierney would stay behind bars until his trial.
Rust-Tierney is a father himself and also a coach of Arlington-area youth little league and soccer teams. In court, dozens of his friends and family members voiced support for him. They say they have never suspected him of improper contact with kids.

Something like this deserves a life sentence.
This story WON’T be all the news for the next two weeks.
I doubt he will see GP.
he can still be gotten to though...careless hacks and whatnot
I thought that to be odd so I surfed. I don't know how much you trust Wikipidia, but there is an entry about him that describes the stuff found on his computer. It goes way beyond the fondling stuff you would think. Way beyond.
If this is his fetish, he is one sick unit and a menace to society. I understand why the judges refused bail.
It would be interesting to check where this 'officer of the court' donated his pro-bono hours
Hes accused of receiving and possessing child pornography, and investigators outlined what they say they found after searching his home. They say Rust-Tierney had video showing, among other things, the sexual torture of infants and toddlers. The judge said shed never heard of child pornography that vile and said because of that, Rust-Tierney would stay behind bars until his trial.
He’s done.
As ellis hennnican says every time some RAT gets busted, “So what! Who cares! Big deal! Don’t mean nothin!”
Anyone surprised that ACLU employees are perverts?
.
I haven’t heard of this story on the news. Are any local media giving this story any coverage? If not, why not?
“Something like this deserves a life death sentence.”
My son-in-law was brutally murdered about 15 years ago...my daughter told the PA here that she didn’t want to pursue the death penalty. She wanted the guy (and I quote) “to pick cucumbers all day and get b***f***ed all night.”
Put him in general population .He’ll wish he was dead soon enough .
No surprise to me.
His lawyer Hirschkop is a lawyer for PETA and represented sniper John Allen Muhammed.
Thanks for the link.

Looks like a history of working with socialists and commies.

Hirschkop, Of Counsel, Virginia -
On another note, hollywood should be held accountable for all the "images" they produce with young people in sexual situations. Our culture on the whole has been so sexualized that we now have little girls with the word "juicy" written across their rears- bought for them by their parents!
Funny how the media downplay this sicko, but went nuts over inappropriate emails between a Republican Congressman and almost legal adolescents.

Sadly enough it takes focus off of more concerning issues...The ACLU agenda in total.
As other posters have noted, don't expect any coverage of this in major media.
Probation and a promotion.

I’m sure he’ll claim he was doing “research” for one of the many cases the ACLU loves to defend.
they should be blinded and castrated-no anesthesia-and i am certainly not a muslim-the aclu is riddled with these scum-a staff attorney in their ny office named cunningham was recently disbarred after being convicted of trying to entice a minor on line the minor turned out to be a cop-i don’t think the judge will give him a walk considering the bail denial
adult-child sex is gonna be the next civil rights campaign
I hope not but witness the next minority group to cozy up to the Democrat Party, and vice-versa.
ACLU attacks anything that deals with "good character." I recall when ACLU went after the National Honor Society and forced it drop the "character part" at least in specific cases. It is a truly vile organization determined to do all it can to harm this country, especially the youth.
Something like this deserves a life sentence.
And an eternal sentence in the Sadaam Hussein wing of Hell.
On their forehead: "CP" for CHILD PERVERT.
From your Wikipedia link:
he has been an advocate for unrestricted use of the Internet in public libraries, and is a faculty member at the Benchmark Institute (an institution centering on social justice and "fostering change to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population").
Porno surfers in Public Libraries and NAMBLA ?
How about amnesty for child porn?
