Ex-director of nuclear programs at Oak Ridge National Lab arrested on child sex charges
Excerpt:
The now-former Director of Nuclear Energy Programs at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been arrested following an investigation into allegations that he solicited explicit messages and images from underage girls.
Andrew Worrall, 56, faces charges of attempted coercion and enticement, sex trafficking of a child, and exploitation of a child for the purpose of producing child pornography. He is no longer employed at the US Department of Energy’s largest national lab, a spokesperson told 6 News.
An investigation began earlier this year after an 18-year-old woman emailed screenshots of text conversations between her and Worrall to an ORNL employee ethics hotline. According to the criminal complaint, she told Worrall that she was 16 years old and the text messages were sent from a phone number listed as his official ORNL contact. Dialogue included in court documents show he offered to meet her and went on to discuss possible travel arrangements.
Investigators reviewed Snapchat data from an account linked to Worrall and found sexually explicit communications with “many users” who stated they had not yet reached the age of 18. One user interviewed during the investigation said that Worrall sent her $20 in exchange for explicit images and videos according to court documents. Agents confirmed she was underage at the time by reviewing her driver’s permit.
The Snapchat account was traced to Worrall’s home in Farragut and investigators obtained a search warrant for the residence earlier this month.
