Things you will never see in the New York Times, and why we will likely be opposing counsel to the ACLU somewhere along the way...

This news is actually a bit old, but we forgot to post it back in May. We cannot find this story anywhere in the New York Times archives, while a simple search for "ted & haggard & sex" brings in pages upon pages of hits. Fair and balanced, anyone?

McLEAN, Va. (AP) - Court records show a former president of the Virginia
chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is expected to plead guilty to
charges stemming from child pornography possession case.

A judge in Alexandria today scheduled a plea agreement hearing for 51-year-old Charles Rust-Tierney of Arlington. It was not clear what charges would be included
in the plea agreement.

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.
