A 56-year-old nuclear physicist at one of the nation’s top government research labs is behind bars on accusations he solicited underage girls for sex chats and explicit videos – at least one of which he scripted from start to finish, complete with suggested camera angles and stage direction.
Andrew Worrall, director of nuclear energy programs at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in eastern Tennessee, was ultimately busted on child exploitation charges thanks in part to his ex-wife, who had herself been contacted by a teen Worrall targeted on Snapchat, according to previously unreported court filings.
