Lee Bradberry, 22, Auburn, Ala., the former Kanakuk counselor charged with six felony charges involving sex with underage boys, is free after posting $100,000 bond, according to online Taney County Circuit Court documents.

The arraignment for Bradberry, is set for May 14.

Bradberry is charged with two counts of statutory sodomy, two counts of sexual molestation and single counts of sexual misconduct and attempted statutory sodomy, all involving underage boys who were under his charge as a counselor at Kanakuk Kamps in Branson.

Bradberry is the second Kanakuk staffer to face charges involving underage boys in the past three years. Pete Newman is serving two life sentences after pleading guilty in 2010.

Hopefully anyone, who may have knowledge or may have been harmed by anyone at Kanakuk Kamp, will have the courage to speak up and report it to police.

Keep in mind your silence only hurts, and by speaking up there is a chance for healing, exposing the truth, and therefore protecting others.
