Richard Delgaudio
Claims to fame: President, Legal Affairs Council; high-profile Republican fund-raiser; conservative commentator; child pornographer
Moral apex: Arrested in 2001 when caught with book of obscene photos he had taken of underage girls. In 2003, pleaded guilty to production of child pornography.
Gory details: Took naughty photos of himself with a 16-year-old Baltimore girl.
Lucky break: Additional evidence showed Delgaudio took dirty photos of “at least one other, younger teenager,” but evidence inadmissible because police violated search-and-seizure rules.
Memorable quote:
“A lawbreaker and a terrible example to our nation’s young people.”
— Delgaudio, referring to President Clinton
Suggested Bible reading for Mr. Delgaudio:
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
— Proverbs 12:8
