Dana's Got Another Secret
by digby
I've always thought that Dana Rohrabacher was a nasty piece of work
because of his close friendship with the Taliban. But I had no idea he
was also pals with one of the many Republican sexual deviants that are
coming out of the woodwork:

Nielsen: It's raining boys.
Things have been looking up for accused child molester Jeffrey Ray
Nielsen, the 36-year-old Christian conservative activist and lawyer with
close ties to Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and Scott Baugh,
head of the Orange County Republican Party. Police say Nielsen took a 14-
year-old Westminster boy as his sex partner in 2003 and maintained a huge
cache of man-boy pornography.
But prosecutors have allowed their case against Nielsen, once an intern
in the district attorney´s office, to stall for 40 months.
Ironically, those delays have provoked new sex-crime allegations. Saying
he fears a subversion of justice, a northern Virginia man claims that
Nielsen repeatedly molested him when he was an adolescent.
"For two years, when I was 13 and 14 years old, Jeff sexually abused me
while he worked in Washington for Rohrabacher as a legislative aide," the
25-year-old married man told the Weekly in a recent interview. "There was
never any penetration, but other than that? Everything. He wrapped it all
up as normal, as love."
Paul S. Meyer, Nielsen´s Costa Mesa-based defense attorney, did not
respond to requests for comment.
The Virginia man, who asked to remain anonymous, said Nielsen worked in
his church´s youth ministry and that his parents rented Nielsen a
basement room in their home sometime in 1994 or 1995.
"Jeff took an immediate liking to me," he said. "When he moved into our
house, [the sex] started right away. I know this might sound weird, but
at the time he was a mentor and he assured me the messing around was
normal. I believed him. I was in the seventh grade at the time. It was
brainwashing."
He says Nielsen orchestrated a "boyfriend-girlfriend type" relationship
that included occasional public kissing, hand holding and sex.
"Jeff called it `our thing,´ and one time we were near Tyson´s Corner
[Virginia], he stopped at a gas station so we could have sex in the
bathroom," the man said. "A guy walked in and caught me with my pants
down and Jeff on his knees. We made some excuse about an injured knee or
something. The guy said, `Oh!´ and quickly left."
There was also jealousy when the boy expressed an interest in girls,
according to the victim.
"[Nielsen] was very controlling and emotional," he said. "After sex, he´d
sometimes say, `You know you are gay, right?´ But I wasn´t. I´ve been
married now for three years and have a great relationship with my wife. I
am very much heterosexual."
The abuse stopped, according to the man, when Nielsen moved back to
California to attend USC law school after receiving a personal
recommendation from Congressman Rohrabacher.
The Orange County Weekly has been following this story from the beginning
and the whole sordid story is here and here. If you choose to read the
whole thing, keep a bucket handy.
I think the question now is just how many of these perverts the
Republicans have been covering up for.

"All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a
philosopher." - Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
Don't ask about caste or riches but instead ask about conduct. Look
at the flames of a fire. Where do they come from? From a piece of
wood"and it doesn't matter what wood. In the same way, a wise
person can come from wood of any sort. It is through firmness and
restraint and a sense of truth that one becomes noble, not through
caste. -Sutta Nipata
