Senate sex tape - Now there’s three words I never wanted to hear in that particular order…
No charges have been filed, according to US media. The BBC has contacted US Capitol Police for comment.
Because it’s not illegal? It’s not a public place so I don’t think it’d be indecent exposure. Especially with no witnesses. Against policy, definitely.
I doubt you can have sex in a courtroom, even after hours. Couldn’t find anything on the legality, but I’m sure it’s come up before?
Just because you can’t do something doesn’t mean it’s illegal. It would certainly be grounds for being fired, but legal charges? No way.
As long as you’re legally allowed to be in the room and you aren’t doing anything illegal. If you’re an aid and have permission to be there, sex isn’t illegal. Just heavily frowned upon and not exactly professional. Like using the photocopier to scan your butt
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ben Cardin said the staff member who has been linked to the clip was “no longer a Senate employee”.
The Daily Caller reported on Friday that the video showed a congressional aide having “sex with an unknown man in the Senate hearing room” and that it was posted in a private group for gay men in politics.
The tape appeared to have been filmed in a deserted Hart Senate Office Building room 216, according to Politico.
The room has hosted blockbuster hearings, including the 9/11 Commission and Supreme Court nominations.
On Monday, Mr Cardin was asked by reporters how an aide would have been able to access the Senate hearing room.
Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, told reporters that the aide in question had been fired.
