ARLINGTON COUNTY
Ex-ACLU Head Seized in Porn Case
An Arlington County youth sports coach and former ACLU chapter president was arrested on child pornography charges by federal agents who accused him of viewing Web sites filled with explicit images of pre-pubescent girls.
Charles Rust-Tierney, 51, of Arlington was charged with receipt and possession of child pornography. He was ordered detained pending a preliminary hearing Wednesday. Prosecutors said Rust-Tierney coaches various youth sports teams in and around Arlington. A 2002 Virginia ACLU newsletter identified him as the group's president.

FAIRFAX COUNTY
Custodian Accused of Sex Crime
Fairfax County police have charged a high school custodian with fondling another custodian after he cornered her in a supply closet last month.
Jose E. Tobar, 57, of Alexandria, followed the 30-year-old Falls Church woman into the closet at Langley High School on Jan. 5 and "touched her inappropriately," county police said in a news release.
The woman raised her voice and was let out of the closet. Tobar, who was her supervisor, was charged Wednesday with sexual battery, which is a misdemeanor.
