Feed the Children, one of the nation’s biggest antipoverty charities, alleges in court documents that its fired president, Larry Jones, took bribes, misspent charity funds, pocketed travel money, misused a charity employee as a nanny, and hid pornography at the organization, The Oklahoman reports.
Mr. Jones, who founded Feed the Children 30 years ago, denied all wrongdoing. He was fired in November and that month filed a wrongful-termination lawsuit against the organization and its board of directors. “What they’re trying to do is build a case up against me,” Mr. Jones said. “It won’t hold up. … I didn’t do anything.”
