Duke Univ official charged in child sex case

By DEVLIN BARRETT
Associated Press Writer


WASHINGTON (AP) -- 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.

....what is wrong with people? This is disgusting!

another one of the kill 'em crowd....
Does innocent until proven guilty in a court of law mean anything to you?

several years ago.

Even down to the adoption.

See, this kind of stuff backs me into a corner, and holding on to my belief that the death penalty is unacceptable becomes so damn hard......................

Poor kid.

Do you know what prisoners do to the inmates they call "short eyes" in the slammer?

For twenty years?

He will dwell in a place so much worse than any Hell .....................

If you're against the death penalty on that basis, you should also be against prison rape.

but the facts of prison life are just that. It will never change.

What a strange assumption you made, immediately personalizing my passing on a bit of information.

Clarity - it's a beautiful thing............

if the death penalty was taken away. The assumption is directly implied by your response to me: death penalty supporters will abide any kind of vengeful abuse or suffering meted out by the state and you can get them to agree to get rid of the death penalty by feeding their bloodthirstiness in other ways.

It is both an assumption of my character and an assumption that the death penalty is somehow the same kind of punishment as long term prison rape. You assumed incorrectly on both counts. Now that you've been caught in your error, you get personal, because it's all you've got.


In this current response, you said "the facts of prison life are just that. It will never change."

As a good liberal, you should be choking on this statement. How dare you be against the death penalty (for humanitarian and human rights reasons, I am assuming--let me know if I am wrong) and be so blase about prison conditions! You should be out fighting against the immoral conditions that exist in prisons. A guy in for 2 years on a weed charge should not have to endure prison rape every day of his sentence. Good people FIGHT bad prison conditions; they don't use them as an argument for a political argument.

oh, get a grip.

Your first two words are so dumb, I read the subject line, and decided to keep this part of my life for myself and not waste time reading a screeching screed that has no foundation.....................

You're pretty much what I thought you were.

I have read her other post. Whenever she is called on her silliness, she makes some inane comment and deflects.

...but it's hard to get much traction for it. Even among many Democrats the rhetoric of "get tough on crime!" plays well, and cooler heads who will acknowledge, and show a desire to change, the inexcusable conditions inside our prisons are hard to find.

No one wins elections campaigning on improving prison conditions.

There's nothing inevitable about prisoner-on-prisoner violence at all, certainly not on the scale it currently occurs. We have too many people, however, willing to look the other way, with a wink and a nod, and excuse the existence of de facto cruel and unusual punishment, even rejoice in its existence.

It's utterly commonplace in our culture, a banal, routine joke, for a person to cackle with glee about another person "getting what they deserve" when they're sent to prison, not only unconcerned with the worst sorts suffering violence and rape, but unconcerned about how minor offenders and the weakest of prisoners will often suffer the most at the hands of the some of the worst offenders who happen to be the strongest and the most violent.

And with more privatized prisons, the abuse is removed a step from the government, which is responsible for treatment in prison. The fact that so many prisoners now are there for non-violent drug crimes, and that they risk assault 24/7 with no relief because they sold a bag of weed to a friend is just mind numbing.

"No one wins elections campaigning on improving prison conditions."

That's exactly right. I think there's a perception of all prisoners as being equally evil and deserving of torture, and since the state can't mete it out, many people believe that the prisoners themselves should and the public should look the other way. Not everyone in prison is Jeffrey Dahmer. Many are there for non-violent crimes, petty theft, drugs, etc.

There's a long history to bad prison conditions in this country, and I know there were movements at the beginning of the 20th century to change them. That feeling seems to have died.

I am for the death penalty for certain heinous crimes and those kinds of recidivist, monstrous types for whom their is no rehabilitating. But, for the rank and file small-time criminal, the prison culture is torturous and sometimes deadly. HIV transmission is a common thing. But non-violent ex-cons are like the walking wounded when they come out, with PTSD and a higher chance of reoffending now that they have been conditioned. And I haven't even touched on the abuse by the guards, especially in women's prisons.

That's why I am all for treatment centers for the non-violent drug offenders and work programs for minor, petty crimes.

...I really, really can't.

and it also illustrates that sick nasty people are not always poor, uneducated, or have dark skin. They just get away with it more.

And my baser instinct says chain him to a brick wall, paint him with gasoline and throw a match. :grr:

trying to stop this stuff, and rescuing kids from such horror.

:cry:

Poor child. One hopes he can find a real loving family instead of being exploited.

The arrest warrant indicates that Lombard's partner did not know about the molestation--that it was planned during his business trips out of town:

At least this child and his sibling had one parent who seemed to care about them (if Lombard's chat to the officer can be believed).

I have two horses and I can use two of my neighbor's.

I've never seen anyone drawn and quartered.

I'll supply the rope.

I know there will be a litany of tortures recommended for this guy, but clearly he is a seriously sick individual. I hope they study him, because there's something wrong with this guy and his ilk, and we need to figure out what it is.

We need to find out who else was allowed to torture the boy. Afterward, we should kill them all. Nothing to study here. Staight up evil!

My auntie was is one of the best people I have ever known. She was a foster parent to a few kids. I wish these kids were in my aunties custody, or at least someone like my auntie. I can't beleive this guy went through the adoption process just to have his own personal black sex slave.

I disagree. We ought to be interested in learning what makes people this way and how to prevent it. If there is no way to prevent it, then we ought to be interested in learning that.

You are not going to learn anything new from this freak show. These animals need to be put to sleep.

Shit, this is pay day and this story makes me want to buy a ton of presents for my nephews and niece. :-(

I'm with you. I have a friend who was sexually abused by her dad. Her husband I a say, "just say the word" and that's all for him. She won't do it, but I hope it gives her some power to know that we'd do it. we would too.

Where was his mother in this... It just makes me want to cry.

I wonder who those friends are? And did they know?

And Bishop Gene Robinson must be galled to have his name appear there.

Did any body read the arrest warrant? A gay white male adopts two african american children only to sexual molest one of the children on camera. Apparently the dude's live in partner did not participate in the molestation (I can't believe he didn't know about this), but Frank did allow other people to molest his child.

This is probably the vilest thing I have ever read on the internet. That poor boy! The scumbag not only personally tortured the child, but he allowed other evil people to torture that poor boy. I have seen a lot of bad things in my life, but this really is beyond the pale. I am pro death penalty, but in this case, I think Frank needs to be sent to the one of North Carolina's state prisons. He would not last a week in the general population.

The Freeps will have a field day with this.

But my guess is he may be a Log Cabin Republican, otherwise,you are correct, Drudge and FR would be chewing on it 24/7

Gay and single parent adoption will have an even harder row to hoe because of these allegations.

His party affiliation can be found here:

not to hijack the thread, which will rightly be unanimous condemnation of this evil pervert, but I don't understand what this has to do with the school. Just that he works there?

If he dies tomorrow he ciuld still be a hero to dozens of (self) righteous DUers.
