State Prosecutor, War Hero Arrested For Child Porn

California deputy attorney general and war hero Raymond Liddy, 53, was arrested at his residence in Coronado, California, in San Diego County, on Tuesday accused of possessing child pornography. Liddy is the son of disbarred lawyer and former FBI agent G. Gordon Liddy, who served in President Richard Nixon’s White House Plumbers unit that organized and directed the burglary of the Democratic National Committee.  He was convicted of conspiracy, burglary, and illegal wiretapping for his role in the Watergate scandal, as well as refusing to testify before the Senate committee investigating the scandal.  G. Gordon spent four years in prison for his crimes.

Liddy’s neighbors are reportedly in shock. “He is a wonderful person. He is universally loved by a lot of different people who expressed that to me and he is a terrific human being,” said Johnson of his client, adding Liddy is also a Marine Reservist and served in Iraq.  “He dedicated a whole lot of his life to this country.” The state prosecutor was certainly well respected in the legal community as well as among his peers for his service in the Iraq war. He earned his bachelor’s degree from New York’s Fordham University, a law degree from the same university’s school of law and a master’s degree from the United State Army War College in Pennsylvania.  A preliminary hearing is scheduled for August 8th.
