Army IT leader allegedly ran child sex-abuse ring, compromised national security
David Frodsham, a top civilian commander at a U.S. air base in Afghanistan, was given security clearances while allegedly leading a child pornography ring, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.
Frodsham’s involvement in child abuse, for which he pled guilty in 2016 and is currently serving a 17-year prison sentence, would have made him vulnerable to blackmail while he was conducting sensitive IT work at Fort Huachuca in Arizona, according to the AP.
The army gave security clearances to Frodsham at a time when nearly 20 complaints and attempted complaints of abuse, maltreatment and licensing violations were levied against him and his wife regarding children they fostered and adopted, the AP reported. – READ MORE
