Alan Chambers, former Exodus International leader, charged with soliciting minor

(RNS) — The former leader of a now-defunct ex-gay ministry was arrested in Florida on Tuesday morning (May 19) in connection with a sheriff’s department sting.

In an arrest affidavit, an undercover officer alleged that 54-year-old Alan Chambers, the former president of Exodus International, which disbanded in 2013, exchanged sexual messages for several months with someone he thought was a teenager.

“Alan Chambers has been arrested after he attempted to meet someone he thought was a 14-year-old boy — but it was actually an undercover detective,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in a social media post on Tuesday.

According to the sheriff’s office, Chambers has been charged with solicitation of a minor and transmission of harmful material to minors, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. Chambers also allegedly paid for sexual favors from male prostitutes, according to the affidavit.
