Charles Rust-Tierney, Former President of the VA-ACLU (currently a Youth Coach), Charged With Child Porn Possession

Youth Coach Charged With Child Porn Possession

Feb 23rd 2007- 6:27pm

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - A youth sports coach in Arlington County who is also a past president of Virginia's American Civil Liberties Union chapter was arrested Friday and charged with receiving and possessing child pornography.

Charles Rust-Tierney, 51, of Arlington, made an initial appearance Friday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria and was detained pending a preliminary hearing Wednesday.

It was unclear Friday whether he had an attorney. A call to his home went unanswered.

A federal agent said in a sworn affidavit Friday that Rust-Tierney has subscribed to various child-pornography Web sites the past several years.

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

Arlington police are continuing their investigation and seeking information from the public on the case.

Newsletters on the ACLU chapter's Web site indicate Rust-Tierney served as president from 2002 through 2005.

Liberals will not be at all outraged at this man's admission of buying and possessing child pornography and will most likely defend him, make excuses for him, or dismiss this arrest as "another one of those things."

Is this why The ACLU fights so diligently to protect the "rights" of pedophiles and pornographers? Is Rust-Tierney the reason? To protect him? And others in the ACLU like Rust-Tierney? Perhaps this is something to consider.

Prognostication: The liberal media will, in no way and at no time, depict this man as the monster he is and will downplay the arrest at every opportunity.

Because he is the former president of the VA-ACLU, this story will be relegated to the "lesser" pages of the printed media and will most likely be glossed over in a 15-second sound byte, if mentioned at all, on the television news.

Because his wife is someone of import, Diann Rust-Tierney of The National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty from the Capital Punishment Project of the American Civil Liberties Union, which she has directed since 1991, and as she is sympathetic to child predators, molesters, and rapists and assists them in avoiding the death penalty, it is even more important the liberal media "hide" this arrest from the public at large.

Mr. Rust-Tierney was found to have, and admitted having, pornographic videos of very underage girls that were tied up, crying and screaming, and being forcibly raped. The most heinous and hideous of acts.

Of course, the ACLU will creatively argue that buying pornographic videos of underage children is a matter of, and is protected by, free speech; on the part of the maker of the video and in Mr. Rust-Tierney's right to find his sexual gratification by repeatedly watching the brutal rape of screaming little girls that have been tied up.

Just the current facts, little background.

NBC's Story:
Youth Sport Coach Charged In Child Pornography Case
http://www.nbc4.com/news/11096703/detail.html
In which they are completely dishonest by not stating the fact that Mr. Rust-Tierney was a former president of the VA-ACLU. Why would they leave out that important fact? It's more than relevant in a story involving child pornography and abuse. Isn't the ACLU the champion of such victims in upholding their rights? The former Chapter President of the ACLU admits upon arrest he owns, subscribes to, and downloads to disc pornography of underage children. Interesting. NBC makes him out to be "a regular guy and sports coach from the suburbs." Bias? In this article?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

The Washington Times Story:
ACLU ex-president charged in child-porn case http://www.washtimes.com/metro/20070223-104642-1644r.htm
Straightforward and fact-driven, including background.

Let's go back and see how the press handled similar stories:

Ex-Boy Scout official faces child porn charges
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/29/scouts.charges/index.html
CNN, in its headline, says the offender is an Ex-Boy Scout leader.

Homeland Security official arrested in child sex sting
http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/04/04/homeland.arrest/index.html

Again, CNN makes the man's profession the headline and the story goes into explicit detail about the allegations including quotes.

Keep an eye on this, if it even stays in the papers or on the net, and see for yourself the overt bias of the media when it comes to "one of their own".

Do you remember how the media handled the Mark Foley situation? Another something to ponder.
