Chef Accused of Assault at Free Meal Program | Madison News

The program’s founders, who started it in 2008 out of compassion, learned of the accusations through the news and are reeling from the fallout. The teen reportedly told her father about the abuse and other illegal activities, prompting authorities to arrest the chef — a man with a troubling history including indecent exposure, child enticement, and soliciting prostitution.
