Army official at Mar-a-Lago uploaded suspected child porn to Russian website.
A U.S. Army official formerly in charge of all White House communications at Mar-a-Lago was sentenced to three years of probation on Friday after he made false statements to a federal agent during a child pornography investigation.
Richard Ciccarella, who worked for the military at President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach resort, became a target of an investigation after he uploaded topless photos of a young girl to a seedy Russian website between 2017 and 2018, according to court documents.
Ciccarella, a non-commissioned officer in charge of communications at Mar-a-Lago, used the username RICH25N to upload suspicious photographs and folders to the website iMGSRC.RU between November 2017 and February 2018 according to court documents.
The 34-year-old staff sergeant was stationed at Mar-a-Lago between Aug. 2017 and March 2018, according to the Palm Beach Post, which first reported the story.
He remains in the military, according to his attorney. Prosecutors asked for a prison term as long as six months, the Post reported.
