Museum CEO facing charges of child-sex, pornography
PITTSBURGH (AP) – The chief executive officer of a historic central Pennsylvania mansion and museum was jailed on federal child-sex and pornography charges.
Sixty-five-year-old Christopher Lee, of Boalsburg, pleaded not guilty after his arrest Thursday and remained jailed after appearing before a federal magistrate. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call for comment.
Lee heads the Boal Mansion Museum, about 140 miles east of Pittsburgh. The homestead features furnishings and artifacts from the Boal family who founded the town where the museum is located, Boalsburg, and Farmers High School, which eventually became Penn State University.
Federal prosecutors said the illegal acts with the minors occurred between January and June, where students from across the United States and other countries volunteer to work as guides.
