A senior aide to Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) was fired from his post last week after he was charged with distributing and receiving child pornography.
Jeffrey P. Rosato, an aide to Boxer and a senior policy adviser on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, was arrested last Friday, the same day he was fired from Boxer's office, and charged with one count each of receipt and distribution of child pornography. He appeared in U.S. District Court in Alexandria on Wednesday and was released on his own recognizance, but he is forbidden to have access to children or computers.
According to an FBI affidavit, an unnamed person "distributed more than 600 files containing graphic images and movies of child pornography to an undercover detective that [the person] believed was a 13-year-old boy" over the course of more than 15 online chats during a three-week period in January. In that person's computer, the FBI found information suggesting the person had exchanged pornography with Rosato.
Investigators also found pornographic photos and movies of children on Rosato's laptop computer during a Nov. 4 search of his Alexandria home, according to the affidavit. "Many of the images and videos depict prepubescent boys engaged in sexual acts," it said.

Bernie Ward (born Bernard Vincent Ward on April 5, 1951) is a former talk show host with KGO 810 AM in San Francisco. Ward, once billed by KGO as "The Lion of the Left" and self-described as "unabashedly liberal", was the host of both The Bernie Ward Show, a nightly news talk show that ran weekdays 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. and the three-hour GodTalk on Sunday mornings. In December 2007, Ward was dismissed from KGO following a federal grand jury indictment charging him with the distribution of child pornography. Ward subsequently admitted to one of the felony charges in a plea bargain with federal prosecutors, and is currently serving a seven-year-plus prison sentence.
He later worked for then-Representative Barbara Boxer from 1982 to 1985.
