A Duke University official has been arrested and charged after offering his adopted 5 year-old son for sex, police say.
The offficial, who is associate director of Duke's Center for Health
Policy, reportedly sexually assaulted the child on an internet webcam.
He then encouraged an undercover investigator to travel to North
Carolina to have sex with the boy.
An affidavit by the investigating officer implies a connection between the alleged crimes
and financial donations the suspect made to a home that "assists needy
families in making a transition out of homelessness, [which] maintains
an onsite child care center. Volunteer opportunities with the
organization include one-on-one tutoring of children and providing
child care."
