The Law & Crime Network has produced a video about Alan Chambers’ arrest, along with a brief, if somewhat flawed, summary of his history. Most of it seems reasonably even-handed considering the seriousness and nature of the charges. They do, however, introduce one new detail. According to the video, “The detectives wrote that one of the accounts they had investigated was used to connect with male sex workers.”
If accurate, this would indicate that Chambers at least had an adult outlet for male sexual contact, though there is no evidence at this point indicating whether he actually pursued it. It also raises troubling questions about why, if adult avenues for male sexual contact were available, the alleged communication involved someone presented as a teen, and whether there could be other undiscovered incidents or communications. We sincerely hope that is not the case, for everyone’s sake.
