Photos Of Nude Bo
BY ERIC CARLSON
Nude photographs of children, pornographic
iiteralure, X-rated videotapes and numerous sex
ual devices were among the evidence seized in
the arrest of a 49-year-old Shell Point Acres man
accused of taking indecent liberties with neigh
borhood boys.
Herbert Clifton Windham of Wren Place,
C. S.W., was arrested Sunday
I' and charged with three
counts of taking indccent
m liberties with two boys,
IB ages 13 and 14, according
If to Brunswick County Shc
Wf riff's Detective Nancy
Simpson.
'b Additional charges in
I volving other young vic
? tims arc expected as dctcc
windham lives examine the contents
of four photo albums and 47 videotapes confis
cated in a search of Windham's home Sunday
night, Simpson said.
Simpson said Windham, who is disabled and
unemployed, frequendy invited the boys to his
home during the day while his wife was at work.
The number of victims and the list of charges
that might be brought against Windham have not
been determined, Simpson said. Nor has she
been able to tell how long the alleged offenses
have been occurring.
One arrest warrant lists the dates of the of
fenses as between Feb. 2 and May 5, 1992. The
>ys Seized In Arrest
others indicate the alleged crimes took place on
June 15 and June 25 of this year.
More interviews with boys pictured in the
photo album were being conducted Tuesday,
Simpson said.
"I've just started looking through what
we've got, but 1 feel certain there will be other
charges and other victims," Simpson said Mon
day. "It's going to take a lot of digging," Simp
son said. "He's been moving around a lot."
An address book seized in the search sug
gests that Windham previously resided in Ander
son, S.C., Florence, S.C., and Virginia Beach,
Va. Simpson said she plans to contact authorities
in those cities to see if some of the boys in the
photographs might live elsewhere.
Detectives obtained a warrant to search
Windham's mobile home after his wife reported
finding an album in a living room closet contain
ing sexually explicit photographs of young boys.
One photo showed a 14 -year-old boy who was
identified and brought to the sheriff's depart
ment for an interview.
The boy allegedly told Simpson that Wind
ham gave him a Polaroid camera and asked him
to take nude photographs of himself and give the
pictures to Windham. The boy said Windham
showed him sexual devices and nude pho
tographs of other young males.
The 14-year-old also told investigators that
on about seven different occasions, Windham
gave him a condom and asked him to watch X
rated videotapes, Simpson said.
Of Shell Point Man
A 12-year-old boy told Simpson that Wind
ham had taken nude photographs of him and had
also asked the boy to pull his pants down in
front of him.
Another boy, age 1 3, told Det. Gene Caison
that he had visited Windham's home and was al
legedly shown sexual devices that Windham
kept locked in a living room closet. The boy also
said that on one occasion he observed Windham
take five or six pills and pass out on a living
room recliner.
In addition to the confiscated photo albums
and illicit tapes, detectives also seized four bags
of books, a Polaroid camera, photo film, a bag
containing sexual devices, a pill crusher, an ad
dress book, a diary and a bag containing a bra,
panties, new videotapes and condoms.
Windham made a first appearance in Bruns
wick County District Court Monday, where he
was denied a court-appointed attorney after fill
ing out a form on which he listed S3 1,000 in as
sets, a monthly household income of SI, 120 and
total monthly expenses of S307.
A probable cause hearing was scheduled for
July 27. Simpson cxpccts to have additional
charges prepared against Windham in time for
the hearing.
Windham was freed on payment of a
S20.000 secured bond Monday afternoon. As a
condition of release, the magistrate ordered
Windham to stay away from prosecuting witnes
ses, Simpson said.
