Durham, N.C. — A former Duke University employee should serve "a substantial period of incarceration" followed by a lifetime of supervision for sex crimes against a child, according to sentencing guidelines for the crime filed last week in district court.
Frank M. Lombard, 43, was sentenced Monday to 27 years in prison. He pleaded guilty in December to a federal child sex charge. He was arrested in June after authorities said Washington police caught him in a sting operation.
Lombard was charged with attempting to induce someone to cross state lines to engage in a sexual offense. He pleaded to sexual exploitation of a minor, a charge which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.
In recommending the sentence, U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. wrote, "The defendant betrayed the trust of his adopted child in the most deplorable way imaginable. His child became nothing more than a pawn in his persistent attempts to gratify himself by sexually molesting him and chatting online with as many other pedophiles as possible."
Lombard was fired from his position as associate director of the Center for Health Policy at Duke in July and has been in a D.C. jail since August.
In court documents, an undercover member of the Washington Metropolitan Police Department described an online chat in which someone named "F.L." invited him to Durham to have sexual contact with his adopted 5-year-old son.
The officer made contact with "F.L" after an informant told FBI agents that he saw a man called “cooper2” perform sex acts on a young African-American child via online chats on multiple occasions. The informant's description of "cooper2" corresponded with the description of Lombard.

You are either disingenuous, or seriously uninformed as to the statistical disparities between hetero and homo abuse of children.
Stop already with the single-incident-makes-a-trend theory. Learn to measure and count. You will find a vast difference.
Probably because the federal charges on which he was convicted were about the child pornography. The actual abuse is a state matter.
Yes, but homosexuals have, by defintion, a twisted and perverted sex drive.
And perversions come in clusters.
Child molesters should be executed. They used to be. The death penalty needs to be brought back big time. Why should taxpayers fork out billions of dollars to keep evil scum like this alive?
When I’m being extra nice, I refer to them as homosexuals, otherwise it’s queers or in the case of child molesting queers it’s filthy disease ridden queers
How about sodomizers?
27 years? Should be death.
Good answer. Thank you.
27 years? Should be death.
Put him into the general population and you will probably get your wish. My guess is he will be handed around a little before someone nails him. I’m betting the black cons are gonna have a real good time with this one. Just sayin. While Duke is in NC, it ain’t in prison. The only thing this guy has going for him is he is headed to a Fed Pen not a state one. There is a difference.
Good point. Of course they won’t.
Oh, but he was just “loving” his adopted son/sarc. These people should be executed, not imprisoned.
They should room him with Bubba.
and also offering the child out to others. I agree he should have gotten life.

“Former Duke University employee”... You mean Duke actually FIRED him?? Wow, I am impressed!
Another democrat in jail.
He will not survive prison for 27 yrs.
Oklahoma is attempting to change that.....
I’m hoping for some prison justice to take place for this monster.
No its because he is gay. Let him have been a priest and this whole story would’ve been handled differently from the beginning.
I just realized - this guy didn’t “get” 27 years - this is what the DA recommended that he get. Some liberal judge could probably give him a whole lot less - bears watching.
