News November 19,1998 from CARPENTER, page 1 Carpenter was extremely in volved with the Elon College Com munity Church and taught Sunday school. He also played tennis and was taking ballroom dancing les sons. “I guess the thing that struck me most about him is that he was so unassuming,” said Speas. Friends also describe Carpen ter as being caring. Reichard men tioned that he used to walk her to her car when they were both work ing late in Whitley Building just to make sure she was safe. “Speaking for students, I think we all thought he was a great guy,” said Eric Hurwitt, one of the stu dents who coordinated the Aca demic Summit vy^ith Carpenter. Carpenter’s funeral will be held Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Elon College Community Church. Visi tation will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday at Rich & Thompson Funeral Service on South Church Street. Memorials may be made to Elon College for a computer sci ence scholarship in Carpenter’s memory, or to the Hardesty Mis sion Fund at the Elon College Com munity Church. Charlotte mother accused of prostituting daughter Knight-Ridder CHARLOTTE-A Charlotte mother is charged with setting up sexual liaisons between her teen age daughter and three out-of-state men. The 44-year-old woman, whose name is being withheld to protect the identity of her daughter, e-mailed nude photographs of her daughter to men and then set up encounters at Charlotte hotels, said V.K. Rivera, a Charlotte- Mecklenburg police investigator. The mother has been charged with three counts of felony child abuse-sexual act. Sending child pornography over the Internet is a federal crime, Rivera said. Charges are pending against three men, Rivera said. Their ages range from mid-20s to mid-40s, Rivera said. The men allegedly involved are from California, Colorado and New Jersey, according to a source close to the investigation. The sus pect from California is a pediatri cian, the source said. In 1995 and 1996, the mother apparently made contact with the three men in Internet chat rooms, Rivera said. She used the Internet to pose as a 17-year-old girl. She e- mailed nude photographs she took of her daughter, saying they were of herself, Rivera said. Then, she arranged to meet the men at hotels in Charlotte. But instead of going herself, she would send her daughter, Rivera said. Af ter the encounters, she would ask her daughter to give her details about what happened, Rivera said. Police took warrants out on the mother and she turned herself in Thursday at the Mecklenburg County Jail, She was released on $5,000 bond, Rivera said. “The mother has been very cooperative,” said the woman’s at torney, James Gronquist. “There’s been enough damage done to the daughter.” About six weeks ago, the mother provided police with a 19- page written statement about the incidents and also handed over the hard drive to her computer for evi dence. “When she came to me,” Gronquist said, “what she basically said was, ‘What I’ve done to my daughter is terribly wrong. How do I go about starting to fix it to correct the wrong?”’ Gronquist said the mother took her daughter to a therapist, knowing that the daughter would tell her counselor what she had done and that the counselor was legally required to report it.
