The president of a child sexual molestation survivors’ advocacy organization says children have been left “at risk” after his abuser, Stanley Burkhardt, was recently released from a federal halfway house with relatively few limits on his movements.
Burkhardt is a former Louisiana detective who has acknowledged preying on minors and has been investigated in connection with a series of murders. Richard Windmann said the latest opportunity at comparative freedom granted to Burkhardt – who previously investigated child abuse cases for the New Orleans police department – is “abhorrent” and “a repeated injury to his victims”.
