TROY, Ohio -- A 10-year-old boy shook when asked about being prostituted to two other men by an adoptive father who regularly sexually assaulted him, according to police, who said the boy was fearful of talking because he didn't want to be taken from his home or separated from his new siblings.
The adoptive father has been charged with raping three boys in his care and compelling prostitution by hiring the 10-year-old out for sex. He and two other men remained in jail Thursday on rape charges.
Federal and local law enforcement officials said they're widening the investigation into child sexual exploitation allegations against 39-year-old Kenneth Brandt, who worked out of his home as an insurance claims adjuster.
Troy police said they impounded Brandt's truck and seized four laptops from the home and a video camera and two wooden paddles from the master bedroom.
School officials said the man had recently withdrawn the three adopted children from school, saying he would home school them.
Police said they had hadn't found any records of past criminal charges against Brandt. He had adopted three children, including a 9-year-old girl, and was in the processing of adopting the fourth who lived with him.
The children came from Texas, where state officials said Thursday they have been reviewing their records but had found nothing out of the ordinary or outside of procedures, which include background checks, and parental training.
"We're sick about the results, but it's not that the process was not followed," said Patrick Crimmins, spokesman for the Texas family services agency. "This appears to be a tragic but isolated incident."
Ohio children's services officials said they were also reviewing the adoptions, handled through a private agency certified by the state.

But you still don’t name the private agency, do you?
Do you even know?
If not, your supposed “outrage” is as shallow and pointless as the latest Islamic excuse for murders.
Because quite frankly, your public outrage is rather less than useless, without contributing knowledge or action.
But have a nice day!
You and madprof are 100% correct.
