Highly decorated- from within of course- CDC Lab person arrested for child abuse. Bless that dear child.

So much for having reliable and credible people in charge of the public health.

CDC executive arrested for child molestation, bestiality

By Christian Boone

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official was arrested Sunday and charged with two counts of child molestation and bestiality for sexual acts involving a 6-year-old boy.

According to a DeKalb County criminal warrant obtained Sunday, Kimberly Quinlan Lindsey's boyfriend, Thomas Westerman, was also arrested on two counts of child molestation. Westerman works for the CDC as a night watchman, his LinkedIn profile states. The pair, who live together in Decatur, surrendered to authorities Sunday afternoon, said DeKalb police spokeswoman Pamela Kunz.

Lindsey, 44, serves as the deputy director for the Laboratory Science Policy and Practice Program Office at the CDC, according to her biography on the agency's website. The Emory University graduate, who's been with the CDC since 1999, was formerly a senior health scientist responsible for overseeing a $1.5 billion fiscal allocation process for terrorism preparedness.

A medical professional alerted police about the child molestation allegation on Aug. 24, Kunz said. The warrant cites two incidents -- the first in Jan. 2010 and the latest on Aug. 22.

"During the investigation evidence was recovered that led to the bestiality charge," Kunz said.

Lindsey earned her Ph.D. in Immunology Molecular Pathogenesis from Emory in 1998 following nine years as a research scientist. She rose quickly through the ranks of the CDC, beginning as a senior scientist in the bioterrorism program before joining the HIV/AIDS prevention division in 2000. She has received 12 awards for outstanding performance on projects and programs, according to an academic bio.

Westerman, 42, started working for the CDC in January.

A CDC spokesman said its policy is to not comment on personnel matters.

Westerman was released on bond early Sunday morning. Lindsey remains jailed on $20,000 bond. The two suspects are scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing Dec. 1.

OMG!! You can't get any worse than this. Children are the last group to have adequate rights and protections. The amount of child abuse that goes on all the time undetected by anyone who can stop it is huge. The poor child will suffer for life from this. Those responsible, well, we'll see. It's not usually a life sentence. And this from someone with the charge to care for the well-being of many??!! Sad, sad.

Having worked in our prison system some crimes should be lifetime punishment, murder (not self-defense), rape, any sex crime with a child. IMHO and having experience with people who will never be "cured".

Well, you have to wonder at the morals of people who have perpetrated public health crimes too. Those that keep handing out money to researchers who publish junk about lyme disease, and create untold numbers of victims.

When do they get punished?

I am and have always been so outraged about child molestation. I will NEVER understand why an adult behaves in this most disgusting manor.

There was a pediatrician that was just arrested for child molestation that went on for yrs with his patients. These people need to be locked away FOREVER!!! [cussing]
