Federal prosecutors alleged Tuesday that a Chicago-area veterinarian 
retreated to the shower during an FBI raid on his home earlier this month 
and deleted evidence of possible child pornography from his phone.

And despite the raid, Adam Stafford King, 39, who is a well-known judge on 
the national dog show circuit, was about to go ahead with plans to fly 
with his husband to California later this week to be present for the birth 
of their son via a surrogate mother, prosecutors alleged. He was ordered 
detained Tuesday by a federal judge.

FBI agents arrested King late last week on charges alleging he chatted 
online about a plan to sexually assault his newborn son, posting 
ultrasound images and photos of baby outfits as proof of the child’s 
pending arrival.

In asking for King to be held without bond, Assistant U.S. Attorney 
Brandon Stone revealed some of those messages in court Tuesday, including 
one in which King allegedly told a person in New York he thought was a 
fellow pedophile, “Maybe you’ll get to meet my boy,” followed by a crying 
laughing emoji.

“This is heinous, heinous conduct,” Stone said, arguing that there were no 
conditions of bond that could ensure the safety of the community. “If the 
FBI had not stepped in and arrested him he would be in California right 
now.”

King’s attorney, Jonathan Bedi, had proposed a bond with strict orders to 
stay off the internet and avoid all contact with minors — including his 
son, whose due date is later this week. Bedi called King’s father, husband 
and father-in-law to testify that they would monitor his activities and 
report any infractions to the court.

But U.S. Magistrate Judge Keri Holleb Hotaling sided with prosecutors and 
ordered King held, noting his relatives all claimed to be completely 
unaware of his alleged double life.

“This was a complete shock to them,” the judge said. “Nobody knew this was 
going on.”

Hoatling also recited some of the more disturbing allegations in the 
complaint, including chats where King allegedly stated he had drugged and 
sexually abused relatives in the past and also sexually abused a 4-year-
old.

While King has not been charged with any act of alleged sexual abuse, the 
chats “are unfortunately completely consistent with someone who is a 
pedophile,” Hoatling said. “He is a serious danger to children,” she said.

King, a veterinarian specializing in ophthalmology who had been scheduled 
to be a judge in the toy dog category at the Westminster Kennel Club show 
in May, was arrested at his home in Elburn on Friday on a 33-page criminal 
complaint made public this week.

According to the complaint, King, using the handle @pervchiguy, traded 
child pornography with an unidentified person in New York and told the 
person he liked kids in the “single digits.”

After the person in New York was arrested last year, the FBI posed as him 
online and exchanged messages with King, including several in January when 
King and his husband traveled to New York to attend a dog show and take in 
the city, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors also revealed in a filing before Tuesday’s hearing that Aurora 
police had questioned King in 2018 after someone uploaded two images of 
“possible” child pornography using an email that was connected to his 
name.

King at the time denied the email was his, but when asked if he used the 
website Tumblr, he responded, “To be honest, to look at porn,” according 
to the filing.

King was not charged in that investigation.
