Jessica Cutler (born May 18, 1978) is a former congressional intern and journalist who ran a blog called the Washingtonienne concerning her sex life, and the ensuing scandal on Capitol Hill.

In Spring 2004 she caused a stir by posting details about her often kinky promiscuous sexual activities with older, married men she met while working for U.S. Senator Mike DeWine (Republican - Ohio), including sleeping with a high-level Republican who she claims paid her $400 for sex. Her posts raised eyebrows when she wrote that her meager salary as a congressional aide required her to live off the generous monetary gifts given her by her multiple regular sex partners.

Her blog was brought to the attention of the public by popular Washington blogger Wonkette, resulting in her being fired from her job by DeWine on June 11, 2004 for "unacceptable use of Senate computers".

When the Washingtonienne story broke, she was reported to be a 24-year-old graduate of Syracuse University. However, it was revealed that Cutler was actually 26, and had attended Syracuse, but never graduated.

She is slated to appear in Playboy in late 2004. Since her firing, she reportedly has been awarded a contract to write a novel based on her experiences.
