Orchestra Exec Caught In Predator Sting

The former executive director of a small regional orchestra in Indiana has been arrested and charged with solicitation of a minor. Edward Williams, formerly the head of the Lafayette Symphony Orchestra, was arrested when he traveled to an Indianapolis suburb to meet what he thought was a 15-year-old girl he had chatted with online. The “girl” was, in fact, a police officer. The orchestra, which had already cut ties with Williams, is stunned by the news.
