Aidan Maese-Czeropski, a former staffer for Senator Ben Cardin, faced severe backlash after a video of him engaging in sexual activity in a Senate hearing room was released, leading to his firing and public humiliation. Moving to Australia, he opened an Only Fans account while grappling with the consequences of the scandal, including PTSD. He expressed deep psychological distress, indicating a significant impact on his mental health and his inability to find employment in Washington due to newfound notoriety, emphasizing the personal toll of the incident.
It's overwhelming to realise and to know that tens of millions of people literally despise you.
I'm concerned about our staff, and the way that they feel about this, and the senate staff.
Mentally, I spent a little bit in the psych ward after the fact because it was just... it's overwhelming.
I could not get another job in Washington because I became so infamous so quickly.
