AEOE is sorry to have to report that Mr. Gilchrist was registered a serious sex offender in 1990 for molesting a 14 - and a 13 year-old boy. At the time he spoke at an AEOE conference in Fall of 1986, this incident had not yet occurred. This information remains on the AEOE website for historical purposes and not as a referral of Mr. Gilchrist. While Mr. Gilchrist is still working as a storyteller, as he is a registered serious sex offender, AEOE does not endorse Mr. Gilchrist to work with children. See this article for more information.
