NATION, Page 31American NotesINVESTIGATIONSUncle Ed's Ugly Secret
To the teenage boys who visited his apartment near
Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square, Ed Savitz was an easy client
who paid $15 for oral sex and had a fetish for soiled underwear
and socks. Health and law-enforcement officials fear that Savitz
was also a walking AIDS time bomb. The 50-year-old actuary, who
was arrested and charged with sexual abuse of children last
month, has admitted that he has had AIDS for one year.
AIDS information hot lines in the area quickly received
calls from frightened boys who had engaged in unprotected sex
with the man they knew as "Uncle Ed." Some of the boys reported
that they subsequently had sex with both male and female
partners.
Savitz's arrest followed a six-month investigation by the
city's sex-crime unit. By early March investigators had gathered
enough evidence to install a wiretap and hidden videocamera in
his home. On March 25, detectives watched as Savitz offered to
pay two 15-year-old boys for oral sex. Police burst into the
apartment and took Savitz into custody.
