I think us on the registry are even easier targets of accusations, since we are already on the registry, who are they going to believe, a registered offender or a nice and proper person who never, ever lies. Even if dropped, the damage is done because any arrest leads to never getting off registration, even if found false.

Tony, thank you for posting this, first off. I’m sorry the pastor had to go through this as well. I really feel for him, especially because now he has to deal with the bad press articles that initially smeared his name.

He needs to connect with someone knowledgeable who understands both the legal and digital side of this. Even when someone is cleared or the facts come out, those articles can remain online and continue showing up when someone searches their name There are legitimate ways to address the digital footprint and make sure the complete story is available.

Would love to meet with him I will reach out!! Im close to NPR
Florida ICAC is no joke. They have accused many people, and situations like this deserve to be looked at carefully based on the actual facts and evidence not just the headlines or initial allegations.

Dude, I can’t stand Nancy TWO Faced ever since she pushed for the banishment of PFRs seeking shelter during hurricanes.

On a related note, Lauren Boebert was the co-sponsor for the federal death penalty for sex crimes bill pushed by Nancy Mace. Now, her son is accused of a sex crime. Normally I would call the charges a load of bovine excrement. Her son filmed himself having relations with a classmate, he was 18 and she was 17, but then I remember that Boebert wants us executed.

More lawsuits need to happen in cases of slanderous accusations like this.
False accusations should have equal repercussions.
