Ohio man accused of prostituting adopted boy

TROY, Ohio (AP) — A 10-year-old boy shook when asked about being prostituted to two other men by an adoptive father who regularly had sex with him, according to police, who said the boy was fearful of talking because he didn't want to be taken from his home or separated from his new siblings.

The adoptive father has been charged with raping three boys in his care and compelling prostitution by hiring the 10-year-old out for sex. He and two other men remained in jail Thursday on rape charges.

Federal and local law enforcement officials said they're widening the investigation into child sexual exploitation allegations against the father, who worked out of his home as an insurance claims adjuster. His name is being withheld by The Associated Press to protect the children's identities.

Troy police said they impounded the father's truck and seized four laptops from the home and a video camera and two wooden paddles from the master bedroom.

School officials said the man had recently withdrawn the three adopted children from school, saying he would home school them. A neighbor said he had no idea anything lurid might be going on in the home.

"You don't know what goes on inside people's homes," said neighbor Ed Rogers, who had lived across the street from the man the past five years in a neighborhood lined with single-story ranch homes, typical in this working class city of 25,000 people about 20 miles north of Dayton. "I'll never look at that house the same way again. I'll just look at it with sickness."

The man at the center of the investigation is a longtime Troy resident who had been involved in a local youth basketball program. Police Capt. Chris Anderson said police so far haven't found any signs of any inappropriate behavior with other children, even as calls poured in from worried parents.

"Shock and disbelief," Anderson said of the community's reaction.

Rogers and his wife, Sherry, said the man was something of a loner but would chit-chat when out mowing his lawn or when the kids were playing outside. Sherry Rogers recalled Thursday that his blinds were usually drawn shut at his home, a few blocks from an elementary school.

Police said they had hadn't found any records of past criminal charges against the man. He had adopted three children, including a 9-year-old girl, and was in the processing of adopting the fourth who lived with him.

The children came from Texas, where state officials said Thursday they have been reviewing their records but had found nothing out of the ordinary or outside of procedures, which include background checks, and parental training. <snip>

OMG that guy is a Psycho.

[Tim/Mav 305]

I have my thoughts about this but will refrain.

Somewhere, Childrens Services dropped the ball. And the Victims were the children. They should hold some liability as well, but that don't happen.

Way to go Texas. Never has been a agency in this state that hasn't dropped the ball. Shame on Texas.

This is a very sad story. Those children are scarred for life.

What do you mean, single guy wants to adopt kids and it would be discriminatory to give him a second look over.

Seems like they followed the adoption procedures ... it's just that the procedures are based of the utopia thought that all people are equally qualified and similarly motivated.

This is the face of liberalism.

Bull #######. Texas dropped the ball on this. It is to our shame this happened. Never have a I seen an agency in this state that hasn't dropped the ball. They better be cleaning house and soon.

What kind of knee-jerk, assinine comment is that?!! Do you know what this guy's politics are? And what relevance would it really be? If there is any tendency for these pervs in their politics it has been my observation that they tend to be right rather than left, but certainly there is no monopoly by any group on these aberrant behaviors! Or do you mean that the liberals specifically demand that perverts be allowed to adopt as well. If anything I think that liberals have shown more concern with protecting women, children, and minorities from abuse than conservatives, but again no monopoly on good or bad apples there. Stop being so delusional about the supposed moral superiority of the right! IT DOES NOT EXIST!

[Dan and Judy 614]

The guy should be defrocked.

[slim 1,530]

I don't see how you can blame this on Texas or any other state. The dude raped kids he cared for. There's no way to pre-screen adoptive parents for something like that. "Do you plan on sodomizing the young children in your care? Y/N"

Stuff happens. Unfortunately, sometimes it happens to kids. But to take away from the millions and millions of GOOD adoptive parents because one of them did this is quite silly. To blame it on a state is equally unqualified.

Sorry you got confused.

When I said "This is the face of liberalism" I referred to a system which hands kids to single man as easily as it would a couple.

Look, I am all for profiling, when it comes to adopting kids out, the greatest care possible should be taken, Liberal claptrap be daymed!

As Slim pointed out, there is no foil proof way to detect every thing that can go wrong, in this case the adoption of 3 young boys for sex.

this guy is sick ...poor kids

Trust me I cam blame Texas. This kind of ####### stuff happens too much in this state. Every agency in this state is either inept, corrupt, or just plain clueless.

I guess I should point out as well that cutting budgets to the bone and then hacking away even more in the name of cutting government and lowering taxes for the wealthy results in social agencies being severely understaffed, overworked, and sometimes filled with less than completely competent individuals (the only ones willing to work for low pay and poor conditions)! So then the proper screening does not occur. Go figure! And I have never heard of any social agency, liberal or otherwise, that would equate a single man to a normal married couple in priority for adoption! The hard truth is that there are often a shortage of good adoptive families for older children, especially those with medical or psychological problems. There used to be state-funded programs in place to give adoptive parents help with the financial costs involved in adopting these kids. But it is YOUR right wing agenda for cutting government that is taking away most of that as well. Wecome to the face of tea party conservatism!!!

Listen to this position you are taking, "The budget just wasn't big enough"... so we handed three little boys to a single guy.

Libs like you run the Gov't broke and then when budgets are cut you look at cases like this and blame everyone else.

YOu even ran Catholic Charities out of the adoption business by insisting that they pair little boys up with -yup, Single guys and now you are still looking to blame others.

Tsk Tsk Tsk.
