Blue Devil indeed

You know there's got to be a special place in hell reserved for dirtbags like this guy; I get that people have mental instabilities and such but there's no reason for something like this to have happened. Poor kid...

(AP) WASHINGTON - A Duke University official has been arrested and charged with offering his adopted 5-year-old son for sex.

Frank Lombard, the school's associate director of the Center for Health Policy, was arrested after an Internet sting, according to the FBI's Washington field office and the city's police department.

According to an affidavit by District of Columbia Police Det. Timothy Palchak, an unnamed informant facing charges in his own child sex case led authorities to Lombard.

Authorities said that Lombard tried to persuade a person -- who he did not know was a police officer -- to travel to North Carolina to have sex with Lombard's child.

The detective's affidavit charges Lombard identified himself online as "perv dad for fun," and says that in an online chat with the detective, Lombard said he had sexually molested his son, whom he adopted as an infant.

The court papers say Lombard also invited the undercover detective to North Carolina to have sex with the young boy, and even suggested which hotel he should use.

Lombard was charged in federal court in Washington with attempting to induce someone to cross state lines to engage in sex with a child. If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

So...he adopted a child, just so he could molest him, and then one day basically pimp him out at the ripe young age of 5, and all he's getting is a maximum of 20 years?

Well, he's probably gonna get killed in jail for that. Pedophiles and child molestors don't last long in prison, guards look the other way...

This looks bad, and there seems to be a solid case against this individual (for a reprehensible crime), but perhaps it would be good to let him actually have a fair trial... the last time the state of North Carolina made high-profile allegations against someone at Duke, it didn't end up quite the way everyone expected...
