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 Trumps 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 who told federal agents he was 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.

Ciccarella posted one photo of the underage girl wearing only underpants and standing next to a Christmas tree. He titled it dirty comments welcomed. He uploaded a similar photo of the girl playing a board game.

Comments on the pictures included can she be my present? and strip candy land!!! Why didnt I think of that!

He remains in the military, according to his attorney. Prosecutors asked for a prison term as long as six months, the Post reported. He faced a maximum of five years, court records show.

Ciccarellas use of a Russian website to upload sensitive images while overseeing official communications at Trumps resort raised concerns among security experts. It marked the latest security breach at or involving Mar-a-Lago.

Peter Harrell, an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security and former Obama administration State Department official, said Ciccarellas case presented a significant security risk had U.S. authorities not discovered what Ciccarella was doing.

There are a lot of people with access to classified information but if a foreign adversary became aware of this, clearly he becomes a huge blackmail target, Harrell said.

This is not an uncommon sentence for CP for anyone generally white middle class. It's nothing to do with nepotism.

He probably only got probation because the teens were clothed. Naked would obviously have been prison

He still faces a court martial through the Army. Since he was the subject of investigation through the FBI I don't think they wanted or could do disciplinary action in the Army at the same time, to kind of keep these two processes "pure" so to speak.

Apparently the pictures did not meet the definition of "child pornography" but he still lied about it and shit.

A sergeant is below e-7?


Yes. A "Sergeant" (SGT) is an E-5, though every rank above that is also a Sergeant of some kind. So it's both a specific rank (E-5) and a form of address to anyone E-5 through E-9.
