The owner of a photography studio in Burlington, Iowa has been accused of sexually abusing multiple teenage customers.
Teenage girls who had been photographed at Daisy Frames Photography Studios were contacted via phone, text and social media and were told that if they helped out at the business they would get a discount on their photos, according to a statement from Lt. Jeff Klein with the Burlington Police Department.
The studio owner, 40-year-old Christopher Lee King, gave the girls alcohol and drove them to places in rural Des Moines County "where he would require them to "play" sexually oriented games," Lt. Klein said. While this was going on, King reportedly fondled the girls and exposed his genitalia to them.
Investigators received multiple reports about this by concerned parents in early February 2015, according to the statement. Detectives searched King's business and home finding evidence that was consistent with the reports from victims.
King was arrested on Wednesday, May 6 and charged with two counts of third degree sexual abuse, dissemination/exhibition of obscene materials to minors, indecent exposure, assault/penetration of genitalia or anus with an object, assault, and three counts of supplying alcohol to minors, Klein's statement said. King was held in the Des Moines County Jail without bond awaiting a court appearance.
