George Nader pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography and child sex trafficking and faces sentencing in April.
Former Trump campaign adviser George Nader pleaded guilty in federal court on Monday to charges of child sex trafficking and possession of child pornography, according to Courthouse News Service.
Nader, 60, was discovered with child pornography on his phone after law enforcement officials stopped him at Dulles International Airport in 2018 in relation to former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
On the count of possessing child pornography, Nader faces a minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum of 20, along with a$250,000 fine.
On the count of child sex trafficking, he faces a minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum of 30 years, as well as another $250,000 fine. Nader would also owe restitution to the victim in the case, who was 14 years old at the time of the crime and is now an adult.
Prosecutors accused Nader of arranging for the transportation of the boy from the Czech Republic to his Washington, D.C., home in 2000. He then allegedly confiscated the boy's passport. Prosecutors said Nader then "assaulted him nightly and kept the child silent by threatening him and his mother with imprisonment should they ever attempt to report him, according to the indictment," Courthouse News reported.
Nader's attorneys are asking for a 10-year sentence to run concurrently.
But this is not Nader's first run-in with the law regarding the abuse of children.
Nader also faces another prosecution in the U.S., unrelated to the child-sex charges, "for conspiracy to conceal campaign contributions, saying they funneled $3.5 million to various political committees and presidential candidates."

Angelam.
Since were catching people at the pentagon, you missed someone who was there who also exploits kids and enjoys race wars with it for a "war cause!" Just because we have an ex fbi secretary who married in with her ex stafford cop husband doesnt mean they should not go unpunished since we are punishing tbis high up. Also she was an ex counselor for juvenile and domestic court. Explains the corruption and all the agreements they keep making by conspiring other fbi's through lies, having other cops join in and forcing black lives matters to cover and use to ignore the children wherever they go no matter how, like people losing lives, conspiring anyone and paying anyone alo g the way like the merit school.. But they all shouls have just done their jobs correctly and no one would be avoiding corruption charges. They are old enough to know, quit protecting idiots who don't care about kids but when threatened to lose theirs then they want to cry.. But doing more to mine through fallacies, you can. You deserve to. They all do for ignoring the kids.
