Rohrabacher, Baugh GOP Operative Charged in Another Man-Boy Sex Case

Categories: Crime & Sex, Moxley

Jeffrey Ray Nielsen, a former Washington, D.C. aide to Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (pictured) and OC GOP boss Scott Baugh, was charged Thursday with 10 additional felonies in a second man-boy sex case, according to court records obtained by the Weekly.

Nielsen already faces pedophile-related charges for allegedly having an intense sexual affair with a Westminster, CA high school freshman he met in a gay sex chat room.

The new case involves a Virginia boy featured in a 2006 Weekly cover story that published copies of a series of passionate love letters from Nielsen. That boy says that while he was in the 7th grade Nielsen, who rented a room in the boy's home, repeatedly used him for sex in the 1990s. The new charges stem from this person's claim that Nielsen also molested him during a trip to Orange County, according to prosecutors. Among the witnesses in the Virginia case is an FBI agent.

Judge Luis A. Rodriguez issued a $100,000 arrest warrant for Nielsen on Thursday.

Earlier this year, a jury deadlocked in the Westminster case after several blunders by the DA's office and an aggressive performance by Nielsen defense attorney Paul S. Meyer. A retrial is set to begin within weeks. DA Tony Rackauckas has assigned a new prosecutor to the case.

Nielsen claims he privately met the California boy several times only to mentor him outside the presence of his mother, who was at work during several of the daytime encounters.

For background on Nielsen, go here ("NAMBLA Fantasy") and here ("Boy Crazy").

Though Rohrabacher hired Nielsen, 36, to serve him in the nation's capital for years, the Huntington Beach/Long Beach congressman angrily claims he doesn't know Nielsen. Baugh was one of Nielsen's best friends and had insisted that a prominent national law firm hire his pal before news of the Westminster high school case.

Nielsen's gruff father, Ben, is a former Republican mayor of Fountain Valley, CA.

After his arrest, Nielsen came out of the closet and has sought positive public relations by informing the media that he worked for a save-the-puppies campaign following Hurricane Katrina. The Orange County Register carried the publicity stunt without telling its readers that Nielsen faced child molestation charges.

A police search of his Ladera Ranch home recovered several hundred graphic images of man-boy and boy-boy sex on his computers.

In May, Nielsen pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs. A judge sentenced him to probation for three years, fined him and ordered him to attend alcohol abuse classes.

At a hearing this morning in Newport Beach, prosecutors notified Nielsen of the new charges. He was not taken into custody. A judge ordered him back on October 12.

You know I would like to know just when the water carrying for the republican pedophiles will end. Someone will come out for the guy, and defend him as they have in the past and e will probably get the usual sentence for conservative figures in OC. He will get rewarded. Like the Anaheim police officer that fled the country. Only to come back to get a sentence fit for a petty thief, the sunshine of the law always seems to fall upon those with a lot of red background. The people defending this man are no different then the brain dead Catholics I see who Defend the raping Bishop, claim it’s a with hunt and it’s unfair.

Bullshit. Unfair is the man or woman on tail end of these attacks by the “values” mob in politics and clergy. When and if the hypocritical pedophiles who wave the flags of morality while stroking the thighs and other regions of kids and teenagers lose their corrupted cheerleaders, and in the Bishops case and apparently this case powerful human hiding places, hopefully real justice and a little humility will reveal itself.

I will not hold my breathe.

As a concerned OC resident, is there a reason why there has never been a public explanation as to why the first set of porn charges filed against Jeffrey Nielsen were dismissed in March 2006? The public deserves to know why the first set of charges were dismissed. Now that there is a second set of porn charges filed against Nielsen, who is to say that these charges won't mysteriously disappear?

We can only pray that the judicial officer who supervises the trial proceedings of Mr. Nielsen is free and clear of any and all potential and/or appearances of conflicts of interest. I was disappointed to learn that Judge Clarence Haynes, a 1979 graduate of Western State Law School and former teacher at Westminster HS, where Nielsen's alleged victim attended HS, also supervised a majority of Jeffrey Nielsen's pre-trial hearings for the past 4 years. Not that there was a conflict of interest but there are so many other graduates of Western State Law school that seem to be supervising politically-charged, sexual misconduct lawsuits in California:

1. Larry Scoufos, the former asst. DA of Sonoma County and a member of the prosecution team who lost the computer evidence for John Mark Karr's child porn charges, which allowed John Mark Karr to be released from jail on October 5, 2006. Sadly, John Chamberlain, also accused of child porn, was murdered in the OC jail on the same day.

2. Larry Scoufos was also a member of the prosecution team who failed to prosecute Bishop Daniel Walsh for failing to report Ochoa's sexual misconduct against a minor child as mandated by law, before Ochoa fled the country to Mexico;

3. Chuck Middleton, a former DA in OC for 30 years, a member of the prosecution teams that failed to file sex abuse charges against Jeffrey Andrade, a former teacher at Mater Dei HS, Michael Harris, a priest once employed by the Diocese of Orange, and John Lenihan, also a former priest once employed by the Diocese of Orange and a supervisory employee when the DA's office dismissed Jeffrey Nielsen's first set of porn charges in March 2006;

4. Daniel Sullivan, an attorney whose law firm Sullivan & Ballog represents the OC Sheriff's Department, the Diocese of Orange and the LA Archdiocese, simultaneously. One has to wonder if this is a legal fee sharing deal; afterall, it must be quite economical to have one attorney protect accused sexual predators and wrongdoing of law enforcement officials simultaneously.

5. Maria Rullo Schinderle, the former HR Director and current General Counsel for the Diocese of Orange, supervising the $100 million sex abuse lawsuit settlement in December 2004, who also continues to supervise pending OCSC lawsuits relating to sex abuse allegations. Ms. Schinderle was also the attorney who orchestrated paying a sexual predator $100,000, Jeffrey Andrade, to dismiss his civil lawsuit against the Diocese of Orange in 2005.

Does anyone know why the OC District Attorney's public affairs counsel did not release this information about new charges files against Jeffrey Nielsen? This is very odd.

John Arthur Lowe says:

If you love Mark Foley and are thrilled by Larry Craig, then you'll love Jeffrey Nielson, the NAMBLA's gift to the GOP.

Why is it that pedophiles, male rapists, masculine whores, and other sexually maladjusted men are so attracted to the GOP? Perhaps the famous Paul Conrad cartoon where the elephant buggers the donkey says it all.

I think the Republican Party should adopt the Rovian tactic of attacking the opponent's perceived strength. To wit, "Who SAYS that buggering children is a bad thing? It builds their endurance, their stamina and develops their interpersonal skills. Who ELSE is going to help these wayward youth with their algebra homework?"

Stand tall, OC Republicans, stand TALL!
