Democratic operative sentenced to probation
Scott Ballo, a longtime Democratic consultant who once served as Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski's spokesman, has been sentenced to five years of probation after pleading guilty to two counts of encouraging child sex abuse and one count of official misconduct, according to the Marion County district attorney's office.
The sex abuse counts involve possessing pornographic images of people younger than 18. All the charges are misdemeanors.
While on probation, Ballo, 36, must register as a sex offender, have no contact with children except his own and only use computers for work.
The misdemeanors charges stem from when Ballo was communications manager at the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department in 2003 and 2004.
Ballo, 36, was Kulongoski's spokesman during his first campaign and when he took office in 2003.
