WEBVTT - HIV Positive “Dope-Smoking Pedophile Preacher” Facing Charges After Infecting Man And Raping Teen

0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks.

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 2>It is Thursday, August sixth and police in Florida are

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:12.960
<v Speaker 2>asking for other possible victims to come for victims of

0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:18.439
<v Speaker 2>a guy they call a dope smoking pedophile preacher. And

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 2>it actually gets worse than that. And with that, welcome

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 2>to this episode of Amy and TJ. Jesus Christ Robes.

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 2>This is it's awful enough a preacher who's also accused

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 2>of being a pedophile, But Ropes there's another layer to

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>this that it makes this story frankly unbelievable.

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes, because this aforementioned dope smoking pedophile preacher also is

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 3>HIV positive.

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 2>The accusation is that he has been having sex with

0:00:53.040 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 2>kids and others and not telling them that he has HI. Robes,

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>what the actual hell is going on in the news

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.039
<v Speaker 2>these days? This is an important story, Robes, because they

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 2>do believe there's possibly other victims out there. Look, it's

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 2>bad enough there are victims of a pedophile preacher out there,

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 2>but Robes to think there are maybe people out there

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.039
<v Speaker 2>who have no idea.

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 4>They have HIV.

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:21.919
<v Speaker 1>They could be kids.

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 3>And the sad thing about this is there are medications

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 3>out there that can prevent There are medications that can

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 3>stop it even if you've been exposed to it. But

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 3>time is of the essence, and so police are actually

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 3>up against a timeline trying to see do you know

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 3>this preacher?

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.680
<v Speaker 4>Have you had sex with this preacher? And look, there

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 4>are a lot of reasons.

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 3>Why if you're a man, or you're a young man

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 3>and you don't want people to know. A lot of

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 3>this is done clandestinely, so there is a shame or

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 3>an embarrassment around it too, so folks might not want

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 3>to step forward. But when you hear what this preacher

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 3>and we say has been a custa, police say he

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 3>admitted to doing much of this, this is a moment

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 3>where you just need to know. Information is power. It

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 3>could actually be life saving in a situation like this.

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>It's bad enough.

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, think of how how much damage is done

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>to a young person by an adult who violates them,

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 2>by an adult who's in such a trusted position.

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>We've seen cases unfortunately plenty over time, and the harm

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 2>it does to those individuals well into their adulthood. Mental harm,

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>that's one thing, Robes, we're talking about a serious health

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 2>risk to people. Now you have to come forward, Robes.

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>They're begging people to come forward and they think there

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 2>may be more out there because if they put it,

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>this guy was active and engaged as how they put it.

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 2>But Roses, we're talking about Timothy Chaneyfield. Is that how you

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 2>say his name? But a pastor out of Florida, forty

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 2>two year old God the mugshot Jesus Chrime I know.

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 3>And so he was the pastor of Saint James United

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>American Free Will Baptist Church. He's had a lot of

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 3>roles and they've all involved positions of power, positions of trust,

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 3>and in many cases access.

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 4>To young children.

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 3>That is the scary thing when you start to look

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 3>at this man's career. He was also the chaplain at

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 3>Compassionate Care hospice And what really freaked me out is

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 3>his role in the community because it extends beyond that.

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 3>He has had access to focus to kids and he

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 3>has been in trusted positions.

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 2>For a decade plus down in that area. This is

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>just outside the Orlando area, West Haven.

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 5>I believe that was winter Haven.

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 3>I believe because I know my grandma used to live

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 3>in that area. It's central Florida. It's in between Orlando

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 3>and Florida and Tampa. Excuse me, and it's an area

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 3>where a lot of folks reside and go to in

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 3>their retirement days. I mean, I just spent a lot

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 3>of time in that area because of my grandma.

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 2>And so the accusation here, Robes, is that at least

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the victim they're talking about the one this guy's facing

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 2>charges over as a fourteen year old that they say

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>he lured to his home for sex.

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>And Robes they say this was on.

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Three different occasions, on back to back to back days.

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 2>They went to the subdivision.

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Robes.

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>They say he went to the subdivision that front gate,

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the entrance if you will, to the subdivision, picked the

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 2>kid up there for three straight days, took him back

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>to his home to have sex, and then dropped him

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>off back and home. This happened back to back to

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>back days, they say. And yes, Robes, they say this

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 2>man had They say, as he's HIV positive, not just that, Robes,

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>He's taken medication for us. It's not a matter of

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 2>oh he did know where he going to it. He

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>was actively taken medicine.

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 3>He was aware he had HIV and exposed this kid

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 3>and others to HIV.

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 4>That is disturbing.

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 3>And authorities found oudam on all of this because they

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 3>received a cyber tip.

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 2>That's good, right, Robes, that's great. At least the way

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.360
<v Speaker 2>the police say this went is that he contact. This

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>is the weird part. He was able to get in

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:03.799
<v Speaker 2>touch with a kid initially on a dating app.

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 4>That was disturbing.

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 3>But perhaps the child was on a dating app and

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 3>lied about his age or somehow circumvented any sort of

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 3>You would hope there were age restrictions on set dating app.

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 4>I would imagine there would have to be. But yes,

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 4>they said it was a dating app.

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I didn't get that. But they initially met there

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and they said it went over then to Instagram where

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 2>they took their conversations and that is where a robe

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 2>some protections jumped into place, and tip came into authorities.

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 2>So that's why through Instagram. I'd love to hear more

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:35.839
<v Speaker 2>about that and how that works, and to think that

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe it worked the way it was supposed to this

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 2>time great, but that is how they initially got out.

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and the charges, by the way, are a plenty.

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 3>I believe we're looking at nearly a dozen, three counts

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 3>of lewd battery of a minor, three counts of interfering

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 3>with custody of a minor, unlawful use of a two

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 3>way communication device, traveling to meet a minor, three counts

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:05.279
<v Speaker 3>of those HIV infected person, having sex without informing partner

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 3>right now, there are four counts of that. We'll explain

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 3>what the other count is. And possession of drug paraphernalia.

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 3>I think he had five counts of that. But there

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 3>is a man, a twenty six year old man, who

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 3>was also a victim in this case.

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Ah.

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so this is someone who they were able to

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 2>find and track down. Through the investigation, they found out

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 2>there was another guy out there, so they or someone

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>else that they believed he was involved with. So they

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 2>let this guy know, gave him a heads up that

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty six year olds is now HIV positive.

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:36.280
<v Speaker 3>He actually was infected and he did not know until

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 3>police found him, contacted him, had him tested, and turns

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 3>out yes, he in fact has HIV, and I believe

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 3>from what I have read, police were able to at

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 3>least intervene with this young this fourteen year old, and

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 3>get him on medication to help prevent him actually contracting HIV.

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 4>There are meds out there.

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Prep is obviously the best beforehand but there are meds

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 3>if you've recently been exposed, if you can get on

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 3>them right away, you can diminish your chances of actually

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 3>contracting HIV.

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>They haven't done.

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 2>We'll give you a quote here from the sheriff, but

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>not clear Robes, and I don't know when they'll know.

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>When the kids in they all clear, but they say

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 2>he is being treated now, but don't.

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Know does this work. Is he okay? Will he be okay?

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 2>We don't have that answer, but they are getting the

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 2>kid treatment according to the authorities. And this was wild

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Robes he went. They say the pastor cheney Field had

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 2>gone to Baltimore to actually perform a funeral service through hospice. Okay,

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 2>so he's still actively out there working as a pastor.

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 2>They said they contacted the folks up in Maryland because

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 2>they felt this guy was such a threat.

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 1>They say, we have to stop. What does he do

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>in Baltimore.

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 3>And who may he be potentially having sex with in Baltimore.

0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 2>So they tried to get a hold of them, but

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 2>weren't able to get him until he came back. Robes

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>flew back in to Orlando and they immediately arrested him.

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Scooped him up, and they say, robes he did. He

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 2>has already confessed to some of the behavior with the

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 2>fourteen year old. So the sheriff there, I put it

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>this way quote, he confessed that he picked up this

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>fourteen year old child on at least three different occasions,

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.679
<v Speaker 2>took him to his home where he engaged the child

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 2>in sex. But that wasn't it, That wasn't all. Timothy

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 2>is HIV positive. He failed to tell this fourteen year

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 2>old child that I am HIV positive, and he had

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:44.559
<v Speaker 2>unprotected sex with a child and exposed our fourteen year

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 2>old victim to HIV. We pray that our work was

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 2>fast enough because we got our victim the HIV cocktail.

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 2>So he's saying, we hope that we stopped this child

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 2>from being infective. They don't know yet, Rose, but he

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 2>said finally, but we have a twenty six year old

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:06.839
<v Speaker 2>who said that he engaged Timothy Chaneyfield in sex and

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 2>now he is HIV positive. That is the story summed

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.400
<v Speaker 2>up in one quote from the sheriff. What an incredible

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 2>story worlds we've seen. I'm sure you've covered at some

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 2>point in your career stories in which someone did have

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>sex it didn't inform someone that they were HIV positive.

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I've heard about one involving child.

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 3>I've never heard of this before. And to know it

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 3>just look, it's it's appalling and criminal behavior for anyone

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 3>to have sex with a child, first of all. Second

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 3>of all, to know that your potentially infecting them with

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 3>a lethal disease and not telling them. And then on

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 3>top of that, you're a pastor, you're a man of God.

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Get worse.

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 5>I don't know how in the hell is this possible.

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 4>It is awful.

0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 5>I mean, this is as bad of a story as

0:09:59.280 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 5>you can tell.

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.800
<v Speaker 2>And again to declear, he was he was caught after

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 2>coming back from a work trip in which he performed

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 2>a funeral. What this is as that there is a

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 2>maliciousness Now, it's not even malicious, it's not even lack

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 2>of morals, rogues. There is an evil to that.

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 5>It's deliberate, it's intentional.

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:21.080
<v Speaker 4>It's a choice.

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Damn, I don't roes. This is swee of hoof. We

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 2>have covered some stories here lately that I have that

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 2>boggle the mind, and this is another one of them.

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 2>And I dare I even say, folks, this actually gets worse.

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Stay here, we'll explain why it does and why authorities believe. Yes,

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 2>there are more victims out there and they are desperate

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 2>to track them down immediately.

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:59.079
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back everyone to Amy and TJ. We mentioned before

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 3>the break that this story gets worse. It might be

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 3>hard to imagine that it could, but it does because

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 3>we learned from police that this man, who they describe

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 3>as a dope smoking pedophile preacher who is infected with

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 3>HIV was, in fact, we mentioned that he was in

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 3>a position of trust. Yes, as a pastor, that's understandable,

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 3>but how about as a teacher. Cheneyfield worked for the

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:32.079
<v Speaker 3>Polk County Schools for twelve years up until recently twenty

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 3>twelve until twenty twenty four. He was a substitute teacher

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 3>for a couple of those years, and he was an

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 3>IT network manager for most of those years. But he

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 3>was in and around schools. He was there among children,

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 3>and anyone who has ever read up on or knows

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:54.600
<v Speaker 3>anything about pedophiles, they never just have one victim, and

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 3>they almost always put themselves in a position to be

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 3>around young folks who they can groom, who they can

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 3>have at their access, whose parents trust them. Given their position.

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 3>And this reads because you talk about a preacher and

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 3>a teacher. Those are two people most parents trust with

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 3>their children, period. And you assume that the companies or

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 3>the entities that they work for have vetted these folks, right,

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.959
<v Speaker 3>I think we all operate assuming that's the case.

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Robes. How do you I mean robes? You

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>said it.

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 2>How can we imagine we should be comfortable in thinking

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 2>that this guy, this was his first ever victim. We're

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 2>supposed to believe this is a one off. That's a

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.319
<v Speaker 2>hard in robes. You look at this twenty twelve robes

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>for the past nearly fifteen years, we know he has

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 2>worked in direct robes. This dude that is accused and,

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 2>according to police, confess to having unprotected sex, knowing he

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 2>had HIV with a fourteen year old kid. You're telling

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 2>me he was in a classroom for two years teaching kids.

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.720
<v Speaker 4>That's frightening. And he's forty two years old.

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Now, he didn't just become a pedophile in the last

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 3>year or two. This is something that he obviously.

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 4>Has dealt with.

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.840
<v Speaker 3>This isn't This isn't something that just pops up suddenly.

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 3>So yes, this is very concerning. In, anyone who had

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 3>a child in his classroom, anyone who had a child

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 3>in that school while he was in and out. Even yes,

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 3>substitute teacher for some of those years, but also yes,

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 3>as an IT manager, he.

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.199
<v Speaker 4>Still had access to classrooms.

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.679
<v Speaker 3>Everyone needs it help and so yes, police are desperate.

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 3>They want this story out because they need to hear

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 3>from potential victims, from family members, from folks who think, oh.

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 5>My god, I went to that church, I was in

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 5>that school.

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you need to be aware.

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 2>But we were wondering as well. The other thing I

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.679
<v Speaker 2>didn't mention the para professional part. So's two years as

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 2>a substitute. He spent a couple of years as what

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 2>they call a para professional, which is just a teacher's assistant.

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 2>He's literally physically in the classroom. That still puts him

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 2>in the classroom. So two years, Yeah, there's three, four

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 2>five years he was specifically assigned to class rooms, and

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>as an IT manager, he was making site visits. I

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 2>mean you can imagine he was going in and out

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 2>of classrooms free reign rodes ah. Yeah, we do these things.

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>We're desperate to understand. And this is sick. This is

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 2>as close to evil as you're going to get me

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 2>to say that's evil, that's.

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 4>On so many levels.

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 3>And so, yes, the police department put out this statement

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 3>and yeah, this is the sheriff. And the sheriff nailed

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 3>it in his statements because he really brought it home

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 3>and made the point that this is an ongoing investigation.

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 4>He said, I would be shocked.

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 3>If there weren't other children victims out there. I would

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 3>be shocked if there weren't other victims out there. He

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 3>was very active, he was very engaged.

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean that they may I mean probably

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>for social.

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Media, from his dating app, from how he was meeting people,

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 3>how he was hooking up with people. He could see,

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.000
<v Speaker 3>they could see how often he was reaching out to folks.

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 3>And so can you imagine now this awful task as

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 3>a detective to try and reach out to any of

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 3>those people who you can see he contacted or who

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 3>he met up with, and then have to go back

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 3>fifteen years to that school, to those rosters, to those

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 3>yearbook photos to find out who was around him when.

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 3>And you need as a public service to contact these folks,

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 3>not just to find out what may have happened to

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 3>them at the hands of this man. But also to

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 3>alert them that they need to be tested.

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Fack is ticking for some and who.

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.760
<v Speaker 3>Knows how much how much sexual activity was taking place

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 3>for all of those years these kids grew up continued

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 3>to be sexually active, I would imagine, And so this

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 3>is a nightmare.

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 5>Just the exponential potential of victims.

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 3>In this case is kind of mind blowing and scary

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 3>all at the same time.

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 2>It's scary to think of just right, if this was

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 2>an isolated incident, that whole situation is terrifying. But roabes

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 2>the potential for you. Potentially he was in schools for

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the past fifteen years. This is a terrifying story for

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 2>what it is and for potentially what it could be.

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to pass this one along, but it's a big,

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 2>big story happening right now in Florida.

0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Folks.

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 2>It's a tough one, but it's still worth talking about

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 2>and getting the word out. Even Robes, so, folks, we

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you is always spending a little time with us,

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 2>even on this very very difficult story, but on behalf

<v Speaker 2>of my dear Amy Robot.

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm T J. Holmes. We'll talk to y'all soon.

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 3>M h m hm.
