Former Mo. Scout camp leader charged in porn case

Thursday, November 29, 2012

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A former Boy Scout summer camp leader in Columbia and Hannibal faces federal charges of using a fake Facebook identity to trick seven underage victims into sharing nude photos they thought were sought by a woman.

A federal grand jury in Jefferson City indicted 23-year-old Ian Francis Burow, of Columbia, with seven counts of receiving and distributing sexually explicit material involving a minor.

The sealed indictment was made public after Burow appeared in court Tuesday. A judge ordered Thursday that Burow remain held without bond.

The Boone County Sheriff’s Office arrested Burow in March in response to a complaint by the Boy Scouts of America that Burow had contacted Scouts online using the Facebook alias “Sarah McGee.” The federal indictment says he also created fake Yahoo and Skype accounts.

And the Boy Scout's don;t want to public acept Gay men as Scout Leader's. Look fella;s I'm not sayin it's all Scout Leaders...but there are certainly a large number of your rank and file have been getting hinged up in these type of situations and that is very concerning. Keeping the openly Gay Man out of your ranks is kinda dumjd...especially since even though the Gay Man could possibly hit on one of the other adult Scout Leader's he isn't gonna be messin around with the KID's...like the these current perverts are. Look....I'm cool with innocent until guilty, but where bthere's smoke there's fire and the BOy Scout's got a pretty good Camp Fire going.
