Former Charles Pugh intern makes disturbing allegations

An ex-intern for Charles Pugh revealed some troubling experiences with the former City Council President, and TV Personality, in a sworn affidavit. The federal case against Pugh portrays him as a porn-addicted predator who was actively looking for young boys, before he was on the council. Nathaniel Hill, a 22 year old in prison for car-jacking, was an intern, or personal assistant, when he was a teenager for Pugh at WJBK. Hill also worked with Pugh through his tenure at City Council. Hill is being called on to testify in the federal case which accuses Pugh of being a sexual predator and targeting a young boy he mentored at the Frederick Douglass Academy. Hill’s time spent with Pugh was before the allegations at the academy. Hill says, “on several occasions pornographic videos were on the computer screen while he was present.” It was not unusual to come into the room and find pornographic material on Pugh’s computer . When the allegations from the Frederick Douglass student came to light, Pugh resigned from City Council and left Detroit.  The trial will start next week in the civil lawsuit.
