A couple who adopted nine boys through the Connecticut Department
of Children and Families (DFC) has been charged with sexually assaulting two of the
boys, reports The Hartford Courant. George Harasz and Doug Wirth had been certified as foster parents, and a private
adoption agency had recommended the adoptive placements to DCF. The two men also
ran a puppy breeding business in the basement of their home and put the boys to
work in it. In 2009, Harasz was cited for cruelty to animals when an animal
control officer found 50 dogs in the basement. “Police said the room had
inadequate ventilation and the smell of urine and feces was overwhelming.”*
