Wealthy Maine lawyer and Democrat candidate for governor pleads guilty to child porn charges

The plea deal calls for Cutler to serve nine months in jail for four counts of possessing sexually explicit material of a child under 12, and he is registered as a sexual offender for life.

Just The News –

Awealthy and accomplished attorney from Maine, Eliot Cutler, who was active for much of his life in Democratic Party politics, has pleaded guilty to possession of thousands of images of child sex abuse.

“It marked a remarkable fall for a man who once served as an aide to the late Sen. Edmund Muskie, as the top energy and environmental adviser to then-President Jimmy Carter, and launched a powerful environmental law firm in Washington, D.C.,” according to the Associated Press.

Cutler came close to being elected governor of Maine in 2010, but lost to Republican Paul LePage that year, and lost by a much larger margin in 2014.

“My behavior helped to support an industry built upon their abuse, and I hope with all my heart that they can find healing and dignity,” Cutler said. more

  1. What is it with these democrats? Let me guess. Gay child porn, right?

    It’s like the mayor of College Park MD
    Good buddy of Pete Buttigieg. He’s also charged with distribution of gay kiddie porn. Was mayor Pete on his distribution list?

  2. Eliot Cutler is a complete phony.
    He is a lawyer who got rich in China.
    He loves China.
    When Trump was running in 2016 he and the owner of Lee Auto Mall sat behind me in Panera and spent the whole time making fun of Trump and Trump voters.
    Most of his sentence was dismissed because he’s rich and very well connected.
    There are others in this state who have been caught with much less child porn and are spending years in prison.
    Aaarrggghhhh!
    We are so ticked off at this in Maine but this state has chosen to become just like California.
