CDC executive arrested for child molestation, bestiality

By Christian Boone

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official was arrested Sunday and charged with two counts of child molestation and bestiality for sexual acts involving a 6-year-old boy.

DeKalb County Jail Thomas Westerman, 42, faces child molestation charges. According to a DeKalb County criminal warrant obtained Sunday, Kimberly Quinlan Lindsey's boyfriend, Thomas Westerman, was also arrested on two counts of child molestation. Westerman works for the CDC as a night watchman, his LinkedIn profile states. The pair, who live together in Decatur, surrendered to authorities Sunday afternoon, said DeKalb police spokeswoman Pamela Kunz. Lindsey, 44, serves as the deputy director for the Laboratory Science Policy and Practice Program Office at the CDC, according to her biography on the agency's website. The Emory University graduate, who's been with the CDC since 1999, was formerly a senior health scientist responsible for overseeing a $1.5 billion fiscal allocation process for terrorism preparedness. A medical professional alerted police about the child molestation allegation on Aug. 24, Kunz said. The warrant cites two incidents -- the first in Jan. 2010 and the latest on Aug. 22.

"During the investigation evidence was recovered that led to the bestiality charge," Kunz said.

Lindsey earned her Ph.D. in Immunology Molecular Pathogenesis from Emory in 1998 following nine years as a research scientist. She rose quickly through the ranks of the CDC, beginning as a senior scientist in the bioterrorism program before joining the HIV/AIDS prevention division in 2000. She has received 12 awards for outstanding performance on projects and programs, according to an academic bio.

Westerman, 42, started working for the CDC in January. A CDC spokesman said its policy is to not comment on personnel matters. Westerman was released on bond early Sunday morning. Lindsey remains jailed on $20,000 bond. The two suspects are scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing Dec. 1.

1. There is much to learn here from several government agencies.

I've studied it now for seven years. It's in the military, our judicial system, our political system, (on both sides) for many years. I just read a story out of Tampa, the memories of a young girl who believes she was drugged and taken to a base in the middle of the night for "training". She spoke of kids in cages, like animals. They were training her in a sexual nature. This is a rabbit hole of the worst shit there is.

4. Sick fuckers.

5. Obviously, there is so much more to this story...

...and I hope the true story about these sick psychopaths becomes public knowledge. So, were they using the lab
to molest children?

I really don't need or want more details--but the possible crimes these people could have committed--given that
bestiality was also involved--kinda makes your head spin with disgust!

So many people who sexually abuse children are never held accountable--because their victims are so young and often, so damaged.

What a miracle that the truth got out. I hope these children can recover and find peace. They deserve it.

7. Recovered memories?

The kids who were being exploited by prosecutors during the 80s "Satanic Panic" told stories almost just like that, only about their parents, family members, daycare providers, etc. That turned out to be total crap. Ruined a lot of lives, not least the lives of the kids involved.

8. Exactly, same stories came out of Iran Contra's "Franklin Cover Up"

Same stories from the kids, and kids used who were living at Father Flannagan's Boys Town, NE.

9. I think you're missing my point.

"Recovered memories" are almost invariably bullshit. The mechanisms for how leading questions and the desire to please the therapist create the phenomenon are well understood. The fabricated stories are remarkably similar, people tell the same stories about captivity and sexual abuse (often coupled with stories about infanticide) whether they're talking about government pervert conspiracies or satanic babysitters or alien abductions.
