"Ex-Senate aide faces child porn charges" by Frederic J. Frommer and Travis Loller | Associated Press, December 13, 2013
WASHINGTON — The fired chief of staff for Senator Lamar Alexander made his first court appearance Thursday on charges of possession and distribution of child pornography.
Ryan Loskarn answered softly, ‘‘Yes, sir,’’ when US Magistrate Judge John M. Facciola asked Loskarn whether he understood that he was charged with serious offenses.
Prosecutor Mi Yung Park argued that Loskarn, 35, was a flight risk and danger to society and asked the judge to hold him until a preliminary hearing Monday, when Loskarn will enter his plea. Facciola agreed to the prosecution’s request.
He faces up to 10 years on the possession charge, with no minimum, and five to 25 years on the distribution charge.
According to a filing with the US District Court on Thursday, police used a ram to enter Loskarn’s home the day before, and noticed that he put something on the ledge outside a window. It turned out to be a portable hard drive with videos depicting child pornography, according to the filing.
Alexander, a Republican from Tennessee, said he was ‘‘stunned, surprised and disappointed’’ by the allegations.

"Ex-aide to US senator hangs himself" by DAVID DISHNEAU | Associated Press, January 25, 2014
A former aide to US Senator Lamar Alexander hanged himself in his parents’ basement in Maryland as he awaited trial on child pornography charges, officials said Friday.
Ryan Loskarn, 35, was pronounced dead in Sykesville, Md., on Thursday, said Bruce Goldfarb, a spokesman for the Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore. He said the death was ruled a suicide.
Family members called police after finding Loskarn unresponsive in the basement, where he had been living, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement posted on its website.
A federal judge had allowed Loskarn to live with his parents while awaiting trial on charges of possession and attempted distribution of child pornography.
Loskarn had been chief of staff for Alexander, Republican of Tennessee, for two years before his arrest. He was fired immediately after his arrest.

Another thing you won't see is the photograph of the sinkhole that made my printed paper, and I suppose it only emphasizes how I feel about the propaganda pre$$, which isn't an investigative organ at all but rather a shallow and superficial servant covering up the sickening diseases and perversions of the elite.
