Former Queen’s IT manager found guilty
Former Queen’s Technology Manager David Ditchfield was found guilty on Wednesday, Nov. 7 of luring a teenage girl online and trying to escape custody, the Kingston Whig-Standard reported yesterday.
According to a report in the Brockville Recorder and Times, Ditchfield testified he thought the online conversations he had in a chat room called “littlegirlsfordaddy” with a police officer posing as a 13-year-old-girl was role-play with a 40-year-old woman.
In December 2004 Ditchfield began chatting online with someone who said she was a 13-year-old girl named Sarah, who was actually a male detective with the OPP’s child pornography unit.
Ditchfield, who resigned from Queen’s in 2005 after he was arrested, will remain on bail until his sentencing date is set early in January.
