Alabama, like several other states, contracts out to hire counselors to provide services like Addiction Counseling and Sex Abuse Counseling. 58-year-old Larry Chapman of Hoover, Alabama (just south of Birmingham) is one of those counselors.

In this case Chapman allegedly offered to give a mother a favorable report to regain custody of her children in exchange for sexual favors. He was working as a counselor for DHS when he made the deal with the woman who contacted the Birmingham Police Department.

After an investigation Chapman was arrested Friday at his home in Hoover. Officers from the Birmingham PD, Hoover PD and United States Marshal’s Service showed up at his house for the festivities.

Chapman was lodged in the Jefferson County Jail on charges of Sodomy and Sexual Abuse and held on $65,000 bond.
