A senior US military scientist working on advanced propulsion technologies allegedly tricked a contractor into hiring an unqualified sex worker — who then went on to service other scientists at the Air Force base.
Dr. James Gord, a highly decorated civilian Air Force employee who died last September due to unspecified causes, had allegedly paid the 32-year-old sex worker $400 an hour for her services using a government charge card, according to a recently unsealed search warrant application obtained by the Daily Beast.
According to federal investigators, Gord convinced Sukesh Roy, chief executive of Spectral Energies, a contractor based at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, that has received millions of dollars in funding over the past 17 years, to hire the woman in 2017.
Gord oversaw the technology Roy’s company supported and was responsible for doling out the contract’s funding, with the two men having become good friends, according to the warrant.
In October 2017, Roy told Gord he was looking to hire an administrative technician to work at Spectral Energies.
Gord said he “recently met a young professional while on a flight to Washington, D.C. … and was very impressed with how she presented herself,” according to the warrant.
