The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) on Friday announced that a former aide to President Donald Trump was arrested in Washington, D.C. and charged with receiving, possessing, and distributing child pornography.
Ruben Verastigui, 27, who worked on Trumps 2020 re-election campaign, was previously employed as a senior digital strategist for the Senate Republican Conference and Republican National Committee. He was also the digital media coordinator for the anti-abortion group Students for Life of America. He left the Republican Conference in July of 2020 to become the communications manager for the nonprofit group Citizens For Responsible Energy Solutions.
Verastigui was taken into custody following an 11-month investigation by MPDs Youth and Family Services Division, the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, the Northern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, and Homeland Security Investigations. The arrest was first flagged by journalist Jared Holt, who also posted several horrific and disturbing excerpts from the criminal complaint filed.
The complaint then details video files exchanged between Verastigui and the other person involving an infant being anally raped by an adult male. Verastigui later invited the other person to come to D.C. for the purpose of sexually abusing a minor.
Verastigui spoke at the National March for Life in 2013.

(6,212 posts)that sick monster and the others don't deserve to ever see the light of day again. It is hard to believe monsters like that are out in society putting on acts of being normal and working among us while leading a sick perverted life. How are these monsters made.

As it is ... this will hardly be reported on at all.
Just watch. Straight down the rabbit hole.

(50,560 posts)The worst part is at the end, where they showed him giving a speech at an anti abortion rally. Hes all heartbroken about all the precious babies that were aborted...and then we find out he likes that kind of child pornography and fantasizes about doing those things himself. Great bunch of people in that crowd, Im here to tell ya.

(3,316 posts)the repubs are anti-choice, they absolutely NEED the babies to be born for their nefarious amusement!
So, now it begs the question, have the authorities found the babies and other minors? Where are the parents? Are the parents selling their children?
What the hell is going on here??

(12,480 posts)Committed by republicans...is horrific.
We need a new armchair subversive site.
The republicans are the criminal sociopath party their numerous crimes and all those projections and lies they whine that the Dems do, reveal how depraved the republicans are.
The republican party IS the "conspirasy" they claim is bottomless evil. The republican party truly is the sociopath dark triad abuser party ,they always had been.
Can't read the article would get my PTSD symptoms going just reading your blurb about the article freaks me out..
Those poor kids. Pedophiles are a good use for the death penalty as they cannot be cured.
