A former Democrat staffer who allegedly filmed himself having sex in a Congress hearing room said he had to check into a psych ward after news of the scandal broke — as he revealed his new life in Australia.
Aidan Maese-Czeropski was 24 years old when the explicit gay sex tape was released in 2023, leading to him being let go by Maryland Senator Ben Cardin.
“Mentally, I spent a little bit in the psych ward after the fact because it was just… it’s overwhelming to realize and to know that tens of millions of people literally despise you,” Maese-Czeropski told the Gay Sydney News, in an interview in which he revealed he has since moved to Sydney and started an OnlyFans.
“Everyone in DC knew me, and it was kind of gross and horrifying because I’m not someone who likes to be in the public spotlight at all,” he added, explaining his decision to leave the US.
But he claimed to now be happier — and wealthier — than he was before the scandal broke.
“I think that one of the reasons why the scandal wasn’t as traumatic as it could’ve been is because I was very depressed working in government,’ he said. ‘I hated my life, I hated my job, the pay was s–t,” he said.
