High School Sex Spree

(Albany, New York) German Lambert (right), an 18-year-old hurricane evacuee going to high school in upstate New York, has been arrested for multiple sexual offenses involving two girls, a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old.

From TimesUnion.com:

Police and prosecutors contend Lambert, then 17, targeted the young women in his new school almost from the moment he arrived a week after classes began in September.

He faces five misdemeanor counts of sexual misconduct and endangering the welfare of a child in Bethlehem Town Court. On Friday, he also was accused in a sealed indictment of one felony count of a first-degree criminal sexual act and endangering the welfare of a child.

Subsequently, race was introduced as an element in the situation.

Older brother Glen Lambert, 24, said he believes the allegations are racial backlash from white parents who knew their daughters were having sex with the young black man and didn't want it known in the upscale bedroom community.

The Lambert case will likely attract media attention. This is unfortunate since Albany County is only now recovering from the embarrassment of the Beth Geisel teacher-student sex scandal.

If convicted of the charges against him, Lambert faces a possible 25 years in prison.
