Former Trump Aide and Pro-Life Activist Charged With Child Porn Depicting Infant Rape

[SunSeeker]

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 Trump’s 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 MPD’s 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.

L & C is a very upright publication.

4. I wish it was fake, but it's not. It's truly horrific.

The arrest was first flagged on Feb. 5 by journalist Jared Holt, who also posted several extremely disturbing excerpts from the criminal complaint filed. I won't repost because it is truly vile.

Evil fucks

[SunSeeker]

22. Yup, whatever they're accusing us of is what they're doing.

Like Trump accusing us of trying to steal the election, when it was what he was always trying to do.

[malaise]

23. Trying?

Remember 2016

2. Not the first Trump aide/advisor charged with child porn... Remember that Nader guy?

"Only the best people"

[RainCaster]

6. DFT hires the "best people"

This guy is scum. I hope he gets to experience lots of prison yard justice.

[Johnny2X2X]

7. Do not read this whole article!

This is the sickest thing I have ever read.

These sick freaks are projecting with the Q child sex stuff.

[SunSeeker]

8. Yes, I'll add a warning to the OP. nt

[Johnny2X2X]

9. Appreciate that

My god. I wish I hadn’t read it.

[CatMor]

10. Reading this made me sick...

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.

[SunSeeker]

11. I guess it takes sickos like this to come up with those QAnon child pedo ring conspiracies.

As noted up the thread, those QAnon freaks are projecting.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. Tell us where the children from the border are.

This is why the monstrous RepubliQan party is so obsessed with pedophilia.

[intheflow]

33. The missing women, too. n/t

[mr_lebowski]

13. Obviously, this Innocent Patriot is being framed by the Deep State ...

Coming up on Tucker Carlson ... in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

[mr_lebowski]

14. Imagine what a 24-7 hate-orgy the entire media would engage in for the indefinite future ...

If this was 'Former Obama Aide and BLM activist Tyrone Washington', or similar.

As it is ... this will hardly be reported on at all.

Just watch. Straight down the rabbit hole.

[smirkymonkey]

15. How fucking sick!

What is wrong with these people? I did not read the article. I really couldn't bear it. They are such twisted, disturbed people. How any of them get voted into office amazes me.

[calimary]

16. No kidding.

I’m not gonna read it. I’ve heard enough as is.

Yep, that donald sure does attract the “best people.”

[murielm99]

17. I don't think I will read the article.

I have enough trouble sleeping.

How do the people who investigate, arrest and prosecute these disturbed people bear up at all? I would lose my mind.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

40. If there is any justification to

The death penalty this monster is it.

[LeftInTX]

18. So the Rs have a child pedofile ring?

Are they the kids Trump locked up?

Asking for a reformed Q supporter.....

[SunSeeker]

26. We know thousands of immigrant kids got sexually abused in Trump's detection centers.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/27/us/immigrant-children-sexual-abuse.html

And that's in places covered with closed circuit cameras. I can't even bear to think about what happened to them when they got shunted off to foster homes, and away from observation.

[LeftInTX]

19. I bet his parent knew something was wrong and "pushed" him into pro-life, thinking it would

reform him.

I really do...The parents saw something years ago, and go him involved in pro-life..

[Warpy]

20. It's always like this, they point the finger at us

to cover up what they're actually doing.

[Hekate]

24. Hide thread. This is too much.

However, thanks for the warnings.

[SunSeeker]

28. It is too much for any decent human being. I was ambivalent about posting.

But we need to shine a light on these horrible people who like committing their crimes in darkness.

[jmowreader]

25. I read the full article. Ugh.

The worst part is at the end, where they showed him giving a speech at an anti abortion rally. He’s 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, I’m here to tell ya.

[Thtwudbeme]

27. Thank you for the warning; The OP has all the information

I did not click on the link- and appreciate being told not to-

[ck4829]

29. Disgusting.

[Vivienne235729]

30. What a sick fuck. I hope he rots in jail.

[raccoon]

31. He sure hangs out in good company, doesn't he? Sarcasm Nt

[Hugin]

32. Disgusting. n/t

[North Shore Chicago]

34. Now, we see why

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??

Looks like all their q shit is pure projection.

[SunSeeker]

38. Yup. nt

[mainer]

36. "Pro-life" to ensure a steady supply of new victims

More like "keep the baby factory going."

[niyad]

37. I remember a story I heard many years ago about the fate of a baby raper in OH. May this sick,

perverted piece of garbage meet the same. . Preferably after experiencing some of the pain he has caused.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

39. The sheer volume of perverted crimes

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.
