Raymond Liddy is the son of G. Gordon Liddy, the Watergate burglar who infamously suggested people should shoot federal law enforcement agents from the ATF in the head because they wear body armor. He worked as state deputy attorney general in California. He was also convicted of possession of child pornography.
Although conservative media identify him as a Democrat and the circulating list of Democratic sex offenders includes him, his entire campaign-giving history is Republican. Click here for FEC info.
In 2017, an ISP sent a tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The activity was tracked back to his home and he was arrested. In September 2020, he was sentenced to five years probation, a sentence made more lenient because of the need to keep prison less populous during the pre-vaccine stage of the COVID pandemic. Even though he was only sentenced to probation, he has appealed his conviction. You can watch the hearing here.
