Aidan Maese-Czeropski, a former aide to Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), who ignited controversy after recording a sex act in Hart Senate Office Building Room 216, has garnered renewed criticism after revealing he does not regret his behavior. The video, shared in a private WhatsApp group in December 2023, leaked publicly a few days later, leading to his dismissal and widespread condemnation.
Maese-Czeropski, 25, admitted to the act, stating, “I would come in nine hours a day, sit there bored out of my [expletive] mind. So yeah, I’m going to entertain myself and [expletive] in a room.” The incident occurred in a room historically used for significant political events, including hearings involving James Comey and the confirmation of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Following the leak, Maese-Czeropski faced intense backlash, including death threats and public shaming. Subsequently, he left the U.S., traveling through South Africa and eventually settling in Sydney, Australia.
Despite the fallout, Maese-Czeropski expressed no remorse, sharing in a recent interview, “I don’t regret [expletive] in the Senate.” He has since embraced the moniker “Senate Twink,” launching an OnlyFans account under that name. He claims the venture supports his mental health and provides financial stability.
The U.S. Capitol Police investigated the incident but did not press charges, citing a lack of evidence for criminal conduct. They acknowledged a likely violation of congressional policy but found no prosecutable offense.
Maese-Czeropski’s actions and subsequent lack of contrition have drawn criticism, highlighting concerns about professionalism and decorum within government institutions.
