68-year-old Frank L. “Sandy” Thomson, of Cape May City, an assistant scoutmaster with a Boy Scout Troop in West Cape May, New Jersey was arrested for sexually abusing a young boy. Thomson is charged with aggravated sexual contact, luring/enticing a child, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He is being held at Cape May County Correctional Center on $175,000 cash bail.
Acting on a report that Thomson was abusing an 11-year-old boy, authorities launched an investigation last month. Their investigation found that Thomson had groomed the 11-year-old with expensive gifts in order to entice him. Police also discovered that Thomson had sexually abused another young boy years ago.
