Ozark, Mo.—The son of the founder of Lambert’s Café has been charged with child sex trafficking.
Benjamin Lambert was indicted on several charges and is accused of enticing two children, filming sex acts involving the children and prostituting one of the children. Lambert was booked into the New Madrid County Jail.
Benjamin Lambert is the son of Norman Lambert, who founded the restaurant which began in Sikeston, Mo., as a small family spot and branched out with other locations. It has become a national attraction known as “Lambert’s: The Home Of the Throwed Rolls”.
The current owners and management of Lambert’s Café have issued the following statement on its Facebook page—
“We were surprised and saddened to hear the news and charges of Ben’s indictment. While Ben is the son of Norman Lambert, he has not been active in the management of the store in recent years.
This indictment is strictly related to Ben’s personal life, but, if asked, we will cooperate with authorities. Lambert’s would never condone behavior of this nature. Lambert’s Cafe will continue to be a destination for family entertainment.”
