Hello. My name is Dr. Michael Lehr, and I am a retired educator residing in West Georgia. I am writing because I have a concern I wish to bring to your company’s attention. Fortunately, my concern is not about the quality of the services your company provides, but it could gravely impact your corporate image. I mentor a young man in my community who was lured, baited, groomed, molested, sodomized, and raped by one of your employees. The victim is 19 years old now, but the criminal abuse he suffered began when he was only a 15-year-old boy. The perpetrator of these heinous crimes is a convicted felon and appears on Georgia’s sex offenders registry. On the registry, it indicates convictions for statutory rape; however, the original charges were 3 counts of aggravated child molestation. 20 years have passed since your employee was first convicted, yet clearly he was never rehabilitated. Your employee not only victimized the young man for whom I advocate, but he also victimized his cousin and propositioned his brother, and one of his friends. These are only the cases I have learned about. Who knows how many more victims there have been! All of this information is presently under investigation by law enforcement authorities, and the evil this man has perpetrated upon so many young boys will likely be exposed in the public media. I do not write you to prompt any particular action. However, if this man’s behaviors do not align with your corporate values, you may wish to independently investigate what I have reported and make your own decisions about how to protect the image of your company. I understand how delicately and discreetly personnel matters such as these must be handled, so I won’t use this platform to “out” your employee by name. If you are interested in more information, feel free to ask someone from your human resources department to contact me.
Home of the free, because of the brave.
We're continually thankful to live and work in this beautiful country. Happy Independence Day from Building & Earth!

The Cahaba River is the longest free flowing river in the state of Alabama. It’s scenic and has incredible biodiversity. According to the Cahaba River Society, “Restoring the health of the Cahaba River watershed means doing what is best for all life that depends on it.” The society had a major hand in developing the water quality design standards we rely on in our engineering work in Alabama.
