According to Fox 26 news, a Montgomery County court employee has been arrested in a child sex investigation case. Investigators say they discovered 50 year old Donald Edward Huse searching online for sex with a child. Officials from the Montgomery County District Attorney’s office say Huse agreed to meet up with a 16 year old boy at the courthouse in a restroom for sex…that boy was actually an investigator. Assistant District Attorney Warren Diepraam also says the other strange twist to this story is Huse’s job. He worked as a staffer in Montgomery County’s DWI court in Conroe but arrest records show he has a felony DWI conviction from 2009. Investigators are not sure how he slipped through the cracks… However, while working for the county he only used his middle name.

Research on Employee Theft

As reported in a recent study by Hayes International, employee theft is a major problem in business today.  In 2010, 69,373 employees were arrested for workplace theft. In those cases, over $44 MILLION was recovered.  One in 33 employees was apprehended for theft from their employer in 2010.  Dishonest employees steal 5.9 times MORE often than shoplifters!!!

Consider that these figures do not include:

  • Stolen time by employees (time paid for no work)
  • Stolen time of employers (time spent monitoring and responding to employee theft)
  • Stolen reputation of the company name or brand name
  • Stolen morale of other honest employees

If the AVERAGE shows that 1 in 33 employees is guilty of theft, how can YOU beat those odds?

The answer is criminal background checks and pre-employment drug screening.
