A University employee was charged by the FBI with child sex abuse June 24 in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Frank Lombard, 42, associate director for the Health Inequalities Program at the Center for Heath Policy, is charged with enticing an undercover police officer over the Internet to take part in interstate travel in order to engage in an illegal sex act with a minor during a sting conducted by the FBI and Metropolitan Police Department for the District of Columbia's Child Exploitation Task Force, according to a news release from the FBI. According to The (Raleigh) News & Observer, Lombard waived an extradition hearing June 26 and was held without bond in the Durham County Jail until his extradition to Washington, D.C. this week.

The FBI declined to give further comment on a pending investigation.

Lombard has been placed on unpaid administrative leave pending the conclusion of the investigation, said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. He added that the University is cooperating with the investigation....

5. Good grief. I truly wonder about the state of the human race.

Horrible.

6. Yeah...

This ranks up there with some of the worst things I've ever read. I hope this guy gets dismantled.

7. Latest breaking?

This was posted multiple times last week when it happened.

8. There are some seriously twisted

fucks walking this earth. How does one become so perverted? I don't get it. Something so depraved just boggles the mind.

9. There are no words...

:cry:

10. Way too weird, there were two young children in the home

and the neighbors don't seem a bit concerned. They actually seem mad with people trying to ascertain information.

11. Maybe the neighbors should be investigated.

How many times has he sold his son and gotten away with it, I wonder. That poor child...

15. It's a gated neighborhood

The neighborhood community seems to be very close, and they were closing ranks.

I was thinking about the Lombard case in light of the Washington couple who filmed themselves molesting their child. It boggles the mind to imagine how people can do things like this, and I'm sure the friends, neighbors, and family are just as confused--and their first inclination is disbelief.

12. I don't think he actually sold his son . . .

I think he was busted while trying to do so. Of course, if this wasn't the first time he ever engaged in such a transaction, he may have successfully "sold" the boy in the past.

"Frank Lombard, 42, associate director for the Health Inequalities Program at the Center for Heath Policy...": what the heck is a "Health Inequalities Program"? Is that some effort to make sure that women, minorities, and the poor have better access to health care? If so, this scandal may end up causing a lot of innocent people to suffer needlessly, even if the program itself had nothing to do with the sex scandal.

13. Not that it matters a great deal, but how old was the child?

[nclib]

14. I think I read that he is 5.
