CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
Ex-Aide to Senator Pleads Guilty
A former Senate aide pleaded guilty yesterday to charges of possession of child pornography.
James Michael McHaney, 28, faces eight to 10 years in prison. He was arrested Nov. 30 in a sting operation and fired from his job in the office of Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.)
Prosecutors said McHaney exchanged pornographic images of children with an undercover police informant. He was arrested when he tried to meet an underage boy in a sting set up at the informant's home, prosecutors said.
McHaney promised to bring child pornography to the meeting, prosecutors said. When he was arrested, he had a flash drive containing hundreds of images of child porn, authorities said.
