Former ACLU President in Virginia to Plead Guilty
posted 9:41 pm Wed May 23, 2007 - McLean, VA
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.
