SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) — David Frodsham was a top civilian commander at a U.S. air base in Afghanistan when he “jokingly” asked an IT technician for access to YouPorn, the video-sharing pornographic website.
During his time in the war zone, Frodsham told one woman that he hired her because he “wanted to be surrounded by pretty women,” & routinely called others “honey,” “babe,” & “cougar” before he was ordered home after the military verified multiple allegations of sexual harassment.
When Frodsham returned to his home station in fall 2015, he rejoined the Network Enterprise Technology Command, the Army’s information technology service provider, where he had served as director of personnel for a global command of 15,000 soldiers & civilians.
By spring of the following year, he was arrested in Arizona for leading a child sex abuse ring that included an Army sergeant who was posting child pornography to the internet. Among the victims was one of Frodsham’s adopted sons
Frodsham pleaded guilty to sex abuse charges in 2016 & is serving a 17-year sentence. But records reviewed by the AP show that the U.S. Army & the state of Arizona missed or ignored multiple red flags over more than a decade, which allowed Frodsham to allegedly abuse his adopted son & other children for years, all the while putting national security at risk.
The state permitted Frodsham & his wife, Barbara, to foster, adopt and retain custody of their many children despite nearly 20 complaints & attempted complaints, of abuse, neglect, maltreatment & licensing violations. Meanwhile, the Army gave Frodsham security clearances & sensitive jobs at a time when his illicit sexual practices made him vulnerable to blackmail.
Frodsham, former Sgt. Randall Bischak & a third man not associated with the Army are all serving prison terms for the roles they played in the child sex abuse ring. But the investigation is continuing because Sierra Vista police believe additional men took part.
Now, the criminal investigation is spilling over into civil court, where 2 of Frodsham’s adopted sons have filed separate lawsuits against the state for licensing David & Barbara Frodsham as foster parents in a home where they say they were physically & sexually abused throughout their lives.
A third adopted son is expected to file suit Tuesday in Arizona state court in Cochise County.
