19-year-old Matthew Durham is charged with 4 counts of leaving the country to engage in “illicit sexual conduct.”
In a federal court filing, agents say Durham volunteered with the Upendo Children’s Home in Kenya.
It reads that “in early June 2014, the live-in caretaker at Upendo began to notice odd behavior… and found Durham late at night lying beside some of the children…”
When the live-in caretaker asked Durham about it, the “children stated Durham often touched them in a sexual manner” and goes on to describe acts with several children.
Durham’s attorney says the claims are preposterous.
“It’s too wild, even for Hollywood,” said attorney Stephen Jones.
Jones says Durham was held for days and never actually spoke with law enforcement or the embassy. All the claims come from the caretaker.
