Former Senate staffer charged with child pornography seeks release from custody






Authorities arrested Loskarn after using a ram to break into his Washington home. Police who went to the home said they saw him place an item on a ledge outside a window that was later determined to be a portable hard drive with videos depicting child pornography.

Loskarn's attorneys have not responded to the allegations and one of his attorneys, Stuart Sears, declined to comment Saturday. But in their bond motion, they contend that a written summary of allegations filed against Loskarn is "less clear" about whether he ever knowingly or intentionally tried to distribute pornographic videos.

Alexander, a Tennessee Republican, fired Loskarn the day he was arrested.

"The courts will determine his guilt or innocence, but the information in the complaint is repugnant and disturbing," Alexander said in statement.

Loskarn had been Alexander's chief of staff for two years.
