more family values

via digby, yet another repubbblican hypocrite is being sent up the river for sex crimes...this time with underage boys. oc weekly:

jeffrey ray nielsen—the well-connected orange county conservative activist who claimed the so-called liberal media, specifically the weekly, was out to get him by publishing a series of exposés on his pedophile activities—finally admitted on dec. 5 that he used two boys for sex since the early 1990s.

in open court, a somber nielsen, who has extensive personal ties to congressman dana rohrabacher and orange county republican party boss scott baugh, gave superior court judge david thompson signed guilty pleas acknowledging two felonies: committing lewd acts on a 12-year-old virginia boy and 14-year-old orange county boy.

in exchange, nielsen, 37, received a three-year prison sentence, which is relatively mild considering he faced more than a decade in state prison if convicted of the 16 charged crimes. on jan. 14, nielsen must enter del amo, a los angeles county sex-offender facility, for a maximum of 12 weeks. shortly after he completes that program, he will be transferred to an unknown state prison. state law requires that he complete at least 80 percent of his sentence before being released back into society. he must also register as a sex offender for life.
the oc weekly's piece discusses the close ties this pervert nielsen had w/rep. dana rohrabacher, as well as efforts by the orange county's newspaper of note, the register, to whitewash nielsen's peccadillos and attempts to bolster nielsen's image in the community.
