For those curious where we’re getting the jew part from, there are multiple sources. You can find one of many here.
Cutler was born and raised in a Jewish family in Bangor, Maine, the eldest son of Lawrence and Catherine Cutler. His father was a physician and his mother was an economist. Cutler received secondary education at Deerfield Academy. He then proceeded to graduate from Harvard College and later earned a degree from Georgetown Law. Cutler began his career as a legislative assistant to Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine, helping craft the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act.
Anyway, on to the child abuse material.
A lawyer who ran for governor of Maine twice was arrested on child pornography charges Friday.
Eliot Cutler, 75, faces four counts of possession of sexually explicit material of a minor under 12 after investigators found 10 files of children being exploited on his computer, according to The Portland Press Herald.
Culter may face additional charges as cops continued to look through terabytes of data on devices seized from two of the former Independent candidate’s homes, the article said.
Officials arrested Cutler at his farm in Brooklin even as the probe continued, prosecutors said. He was being held on $50,000 bail.
“Given the incredibly high bail of $50,000 cash, set on a Friday night after banks are closed no less, it is unclear whether the bail will be posted,” Cutler’s attorney Walt McKee told the newspaper.
Well bail was in fact posted, but you’ll never believe what happens next…
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A judge has sealed court documents stemming from the arrest of a former Maine gubernatorial candidate on charges of possessing child pornography.
Eliot Cutler is scheduled to make his first court appearance on May 3. The court documents will remain sealed until then or until he is indicted by a grand jury, the Portland Press Herald reported.
Cutler’s attorney Walter McKee has declined to comment on the charges.
McKee told the Press Herald that the judge granted the motions to seal the affidavits on Monday. McKee said he was concerned publication of the details would make it hard for the court to seat an impartial jury if Cutler is indicted.
I saw this getting some play in our circles, but it actually doesn’t mean much. Judges do often seal documents until the trial, since they do want an impartial jury. This is not like the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, where the judge permanently sealed tons of documents, not allowing them to be present at the trial.
