Overview

• A Chicago veterinarian, Adam Stafford King, was arrested on charges of distributing child pornography and plotting to molest his unborn child obtained via surrogacy with his husband.
• King, known in the dog showing community and as a dog show judge, was denied bail due to being deemed a 'serious danger to children.'
• Investigators uncovered King's plans through messages where he admitted to being attracted to children under 10 and having drugged and sexually assaulted his nieces and nephews.
• King was arrested just days before he planned to travel to California for the birth of the child he intended to molest.
• The American Kennel Club has revoked King's judging privileges, and his employment status with MedVet Chicago and the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show has been terminated.
