Fired Dem staffer will not be charged for shooting gay porn in Senate hearing room

The United States Capitol Police determined upon the completion of an investigation that there was "no evidence" that a crime had been committed. This despite there being video evidence of the pornographic content.

"After consulting with federal and local prosecutors, as well as doing a comprehensive investigation and review of possible charges, it was determined that — despite a likely violation of Congressional policy — there is currently no evidence that a crime was committed," USCP said in a statement. "Although the hearing room was not open to the public at the time, the Congressional staffer involved had access to the room."

"The two people of interest were not cooperative, nor were the elements of any of the possible crimes met. The Congressional staffer, who has since resigned from his job, exercised his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and refused to talk to us,” it continued. “Our investigators are willing to review new evidence should any come to light."

This scandal unfolded in mid-December when explicit footage obtained by the Daily Caller showed two men engaging in a sex act inside the Senate hearing room in the Hart Senate Office Building. It was later confirmed that one of the men involved in the video was Aidan Maese-Czeropski, a legislative aide for Democrat Maryland Senator Ben Cardin.

Maese-Czeropski was terminated from his position following the release of the video.

The video showed two nude men having anal sex in the Senate hearing room which is notable for confirmation hearings of Supreme Court justices. The video was leaked to the Daily Caller after it was shared with a private group for gay men in politics.

Maese-Czeropski worked as a congressional staffer for over two years and attended the University of California Berkeley and Johns Hopkins University, according to his LinkedIn account. This is a breaking story. Refresh the page for updates.
