The 148th edition of Westminster has played out amid an unexpected reckoning in the US dog show circuit. Dr Adam Stafford King, a Chicago-area veterinary ophthalmologist and Havanese breeder who was slated to judge several toy breeds at this year’s show, was arrested in March on federal charges of distributing child sexual abuse material to an online contact. He has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail.
According to court records, the FBI began investigating King in October as part of a child pornography investigation in New York. Agents concluded a subject in the New York case had received several illicit videos and images involving minors from King over the dating app Scruff and the messaging app Telegram. In a statement, King’s attorney said, “The press nor the public should jump to any conclusions. Mr King pled Not Guilty because he is in fact, Not Guilty.
