Alton Dorrough was a respected man, a man many people trusted. He was a volunteer chaplain for the Exeter Police Department. Chief Cliff Bush has known him for years, “He was the kind of person you would think, this person has the community at heart.”
His reputation was tarnished Monday after a teenage girl walked into police headquarters. According to authorities, she claimed Dorrough sexually abused her for four years. Investigators called him in and took him away in handcuffs.
Chief Bush said, “I’m sick to my stomach, this is just awful. It’s just shock, betrayed, disappointed.”
Dorrough is 62-years-old. He was involved with several drug recovery groups and ministries. Chief Bush said he was also a minister at The Church of God of Exeter.
