An internet user using the same rare username as Sen. Lamar Alexander's (R-Tenn.) chief of staff shared at least two videos on a porn site in the past week of purported fathers having sex with their teen sons, LegiStorm has found.
These are among the 1,908 videos this particular user shared on the popular XTube porn site by marking them as "favorites". Although the huge collection of videos includes sex purported to be with teens, most of the dozens of video descriptions that LegiStorm viewed that this user favorited are of gay sex generally and do not focus on teens. None of the sample reviewed by LegiStorm were uploaded by him.
Alexander put his chief of staff, Ryan Loskarn, on unpaid administrative leave after learning of the arrest yesterday on "probable cause for possession and distribution of child pornography." He is expected to be arraigned in federal court today. Law enforcement officials have not gone into detail on the charges.
The username, which LegiStorm is withholding so as not to drive traffic to these videos of teens, was one that a web-based people information aggregator has identified as belonging to Loskarn.
The same username, which incorporates his alma mater Tulane University into it and other personal information suggesting it is likely Loskarn's, has been used in a way that is more identifiably linked to Loskarn. For example, it was used on the Flickr photo-sharing site in 2006 to upload a photo of a famous Hollywood personality meeting his then-boss, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.)
Searching for this username on Google reveals only a handful of websites that mention the unusual letter combination in this username. All of them are associated with either Republican politics, life in the Washington, D.C. area (where Loskarn lives), or of naked or scantily clad men and boys.
