The guy got 27 years. I noticed most of the media are playing up the child porn and down the child abuse of his black adopted son.

[a fool in paradise]

We are told these are the actions of consenting adults in private. When do children get to consent to being adopted into same-sex couple households?

[GeronL]

this is why God gave us bullets.

[dirtymac]

and no mentioned of homosexuality and racism, but being a member of Duke University he would obviously get a pass on those issues

[a real Sheila]

some folks just NEED to be killed!

[ConservativeMind]

Being “gay” is all about the sex.

I can’t believe they allow gays to adopt.

[chaos_5]

This is the reason why adoptions should not be allowed to go to sexually deviant types. IMO only heterosexual married couples should be allowed to adopt.

Mike Adams original description of this case:

Little Boy Blue Devil.

Ping for your ping list, abb.

OMG -- only 27 years???? That is outrageous, he should get LIFE, with no chance at parole -- imagining adopting a black boy and then raping him -- all while being a "respectable" member of the Duke University community.

Utterly putrid & disgusting!!!!

[TheThirdRuffian]

In before the “gays are not pre-disposed to pedophilia” idiots.

[Alkhin]

Folks, this kind of abuse happens in heterosexual couples too. Being straight isn’t an automatic pass for this never happening. I have heard from several adoptees in hetero couple families that have suffered abuse as well.

I hope his new roommates give him a warm and hearty welcome.

Only 27 years? He’ll not only be in gay heaven in jail; he will be out before his adopted son’s 27th birthday. Rapists of infants and toddlers or child rapists who were in a position of authority over a child younger than 12 deserve the death penalty.

[Bon mots]

So did those 85 outspoken professors from Duke write a scathing article in the press condemning this?

They were always so concerned with sex crimes before... so much so that they would publicly lynch innocent white boys in the press without a shred of evidence...

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

I noticed most of the media are playing up the child porn and down the child abuse of his black adopted son.

Probably because the federal charges on which he was convicted were about the child pornography. The actual abuse is a state matter.

[Bigg Red]

27 years? Should be death.

[SoldierDad]

Oh, but he was just “loving” his adopted son/sarc. These people should be executed, not imprisoned.

[TommyDale]

“Former Duke University employee”... You mean Duke actually FIRED him?? Wow, I am impressed!

[BossLady]

Thanks for posting! I wondered what was happening with this case.....

(Hoping he does not last 27 hours in jail.....)

As the birth mother of a son, placed for adoption over 20 years ago, I find this story sickening. More effort must go into screening individuals seeking to adopt! Now that I have been reunited with my son, I can say the screening process wasn't perfect and I expected more from the agency (large, old and well known organization, not fly by night or lawyer). Fortunately, my son is a happy, healthy, productive adult.

These are children, not puppies being adopted from a shelter. This must not be allowed to continue!
