Boy Scout leader charged with exploiting toddler

DURHAM, N.C. — A Boy Scout leader in Durham has been charged with exploiting a toddler.

John Adams was a troop leader for at least three years and passed a standard background check.

Investigators said he took pictures of a naked three or four-year-old girl engaged in sexual activity.

The Boy Scouts of America said Adams was removed from his troop and that the girl was not a part of their organization.
