Recent investigations have uncovered that a lewd sex tape scandal involving a Senate staffer was not the first of its kind.
The House of Representatives conducted a discreet investigation into an alleged sex tape scandal that occurred 18 months prior to the recent incident in a Senate hearing room.
It can be recalled that 24-year-old Aidan Maese-Czeropski, a legislative aide for Democrat Sen. Cardin, was terminated from his job after he filmed a hardcore gay sex tape within the confines of the US Senate.
He is now planning to pursue legal action against what he calls defamatory allegations and a politically motivated attack on his character.
Aidan Maese-Czeropski asserted that the explicit behavior he was “alleged” to have been involved in within the Hart Senate Office Building was taken out of context and is now being weaponized against him due to his sexual orientation and political affiliations.
The Capitol Police are actively looking into the incident, which occurred in a Senate hearing room. Sources close to the investigation have indicated that charges under consideration could range from trespassing to obscenity violations.
About a year and a half earlier, there was a discreet investigation into similar inappropriate activities in a Congressional office. This earlier case indicates a recurring issue of misconduct within governmental offices.
A spokesperson for Representative Dan Newhouse, a Republican from Washington, confirmed last year’s investigation into alleged “unbecoming behavior” by a senior staffer in their office. Despite the inquiry, they stated that “no conclusive evidence” was found to substantiate the claims, Semafor first reported.
The staffer in question, whose identity has been withheld by Semafor, refuted allegations of involvement in explicit videos. The staffer contested the office’s description of the events.
He recounted being notified of the investigation in June 2022, but by July, he was informed by Congressman Newhouse that the investigation concluded with “no evidence to support the allegation.”
The staffer also mentioned his departure in the fall of 2022 for a position outside Washington, D.C., stating that it was for reasons unrelated to the scandal.
However, a second set of sexually explicit videos linked to the Capitol has emerged per Semafor. These videos circulated on Snapchat last year, featuring in the story of a user identified as “Adam J” with the handle “Anjackson2019.”
Semafor, having viewed the recordings provided by a source, reported one video showing a man masturbating inside a House office building. The setting was identifiable by the standard Capitol House furniture and carpeting, including a congressional-branded mouse pad on the desk.
Another video, of which Semafor obtained a screenshot, depicted two men engaged in a sexual act in an office setting. The identities of the participants in these videos remain concealed as their faces are not visible.
Newhouse’s office was informed that one of their staff members might have been involved.
“As soon as the office was alerted, we immediately contacted the appropriate House entities to conduct an independent investigation,” Newhouse’s spokesperson told Semafor.
This latest scandal adds to the growing concerns about misconduct in the U.S. Capitol’s hallowed halls.
In 2022, Cawthorn exposed the scandalous activities in D.C., revealing invitations to orgies and drug parties he received, as stated during an interview.
“The sexual perversion that goes on in Washington. I mean, being kind of a young guy in Washington, the average age is probably 60 or 70.”
“And I look at all these people, a lot of them that I’ve looked up to through my life, I’ve always paid attention to politics, guys that then all of a sudden, you get invited to like, well, “hey, we’re going to have kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes. You should come.” And I’m like, what did you just ask me to come to? And then you realize they’re asking you to come to an orgy.”
“The fact that there’s some of the people that are leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country, and then you watch them do a key bump of cocaine right in front of you, and it’s like, this is wild.”
Cawthorn, however, isn’t the first person on the Hill to expose these claims.
Former Rep. George Santos, in his most recent post on X, has hinted there are secret “cages” inside of the House office buildings.
In response to an ‘overconfident’ Business Insider reporter, Santos shared, “You seem too confident here… should we be looking for some videos from you in the cages?”
He continued, “You know that what happens in the cages doesn’t stay there, right?”
Santos’s comments were in response to Business Insider’s senior politics reporter Bryan Metzger taking a jab at people who were not in the know about how many Senate hearing rooms are located inside of the Capitol.
