Charles Pugh's former intern tells all in sworn affidavit

Former Detroit City Council president faces more allegations

DETROIT – A former intern for Charles Pugh is telling all in a sworn affidavit.

It was introduced into the federal case against the former Detroit City Council president and Detroit Public Schools. It sets Pugh up as a porn-addicted predator who was actively looking for young boys.

Nathaniel Hill, 22, who is in prison for carjacking, was an intern, or personal assistant, when he was a teenager and Pugh worked at Fox 2. Hills also worked with Pugh through his tenure at City Council. Hill is being called on to testify in the federal case which accuses Pugh of being a sexual predator and targeting a young boy he mentored at the Frederick Douglass Academy.

Hill's time spent with Pugh was before the allegations at the academy. He was essentially Pugh's gofer and, in the document below, he describes how he was often in Pugh's home.

"On several occasions pornographic videos were on the computer screen while I was present. It was not unusual for me to come into the room and find pornographic material on Mr. Pugh's computer and talk to him while the material was visible. Pornography was a frequent backdrop to activities as Mr. Pugh's home when I was there," Hill says in the document.

When the allegations from the Frederick Douglass student came to light, Pugh resigned from City Council in disgrace and left Detroit in the middle of the night.

The trial will start in November.
