US Capitol Police said they would not press charges against two men who filmed themselves having sex in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room. “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. One of the men involved has been identified as Aidan Maese-Czeropski, a staffer for Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), who was fired after video of the tryst began to circulate on social media.
Maese-Czeropski invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during the investigation, according to Capitol Police. “The two people of interest were not cooperative, nor were the elements of any of the possible crimes met,” the statement added. Following the spread of the amateur porn clip, Semafor reported that in 2022, a top staffer for Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) was scrutinized over alleged “unbecoming behavior” that was circulated online—ultimately, no “conclusive evidence” was uncovered.
