“Prostitution is illegal, and those who commit or who derive proceeds from this crime in Polk County can expect to go to jail.  The negative social costs of prostitution hurt families, children, and communities, including the spreading of infectious diseases.  The nexus between prostitution and other crime, such as illegal drugs, violence against women, and human trafficking is a real problem.  Whether it is on the street or online, prostitution is illegal and we will continue to investigate and arrest those involved.” –Sheriff Grady Judd

Three Orlando mega-church pastors resign after admitting to affairs May 7, 2013

They were men of the cloth ….. but their cloth of preferance must have been silk — as in lingerie.

Lead Pastor David Loveless has resigned from Discovery Church after admitting to having an affair.

The resignation was announced to the congregation of the Orlando megachurch on Saturday and Sunday.

 

On Monday, Orlando-area pastors reacted with shock and sadness.

“I have an overwhelming feeling of sadness,” said David Swanson, senior pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Orlando. “It’s sad for that church, sad for David and his family, and sad for what it means to the larger Christian church. It harms the view people have of Christians and Christian leaders.”

James Coffin, executive director of the Interfaith Council of Central Florida, said the repercussions of Loveless’ resignation will be felt in his family, church and community for some time.

“It’s a tragedy from every angle,” said Coffin, former pastor of the Markham Woods Church of Seventh-day Adventists.

Loveless is the third pastor of a major Orlando-area church to resign within the past six months because of an affair. Isaac Hunter, lead pastor of Summit Church, resigned in December after admitting to an affair with a staff member. Sam Hinn, pastor of The Gathering Place Worship Center in Sanford, stepped down in January after admitting to a relationship with a member of the congregation.

A statement by Discovery Church elders said Loveless, who founded the 4,000-member church in south Orlando 17 years ago, was being replaced on an interim basis by Director of Ministry Don Cousins.

“While David indicates that the relationship [with another woman] was ended approximately three years ago, we were only made aware of it when he informed us in recent days,” the statement said. “David offered his resignation and the elders prayerfully and unanimously accepted it.”

Loveless, 58, and his wife, Caron, have been married 33 years. They have three sons and three grandchildren.

Church officials declined further comment Monday, but the statement issued by the elders indicates that Loveless will not be returning to the church.

“While we believe David Loveless can be restored to Christian fellowship and productive Christian service, we do not believe he can serve as a pastor at Discovery Church,” the statement said.

A church spokeswoman said Discovery will be looking for a permanent replacement for Loveless.

Hunter’s Summit Church and Loveless’ Discovery Church are similar in size, demographic and structure. Summit, with about 5,000 members, and Discovery both appeal to young adults. Both are growing non-denominational churches that have several locations.

Discovery has one satellite campus at Olympia High School in southwest Orange County and another location on Alafaya Trail near Avalon Park.

Discovery has been recognized as “one of the 10 healthiest churches in America” and “one of the fastest-growing churches in the US during the 21st Century,” according to Loveless’ website. The website says Discovery also was featured in the book “America’s Most Influential Churches” and Loveless was recognized as “one of the top 20 Christian leaders in the US to watch.”

In 2009, around the time Loveless acknowledged to church officials that he had a “wrongful relationship over multiple years with a woman not his wife,” he was quoted in the Orlando Sentinel about his use of social media.

In the article, Loveless told an anecdote about being taken aside by his wife, who gave him a good talking to. He tweeted the experience and asked church members if they had someone in their lives who straightens them out when things start to swerve off course.

Man on sailboat masturbated in front of passing boats

Whatever floats your boat…except not this.

It’s not the way to greet fellow boat enthusiasts.

Deputies arrested a man after they say he was exposing himself to passing boats at the Alva Boat Ramp on Saturday.

An off-duty officer riding down the river said he saw 67-year-old Scott Barron standing on the back of his parked sailboat masturbating.

The off-duty officer approached Barron and told him to stop what he was doing. He reported that Barron responded, “[expletive deleted] you!”

After an on-duty officer arrived, Barron told him he was not masturbating — just exercising, according to the report.

Barron told the deputy told him he did not know the off-duty officer worked for the Lee County Sheriff’s Office before he cursed at him, the report said.

Barron was arrested for indecent exposure and transported to the Lee County Jail.

Down and dirty: Woman allegedly caught having sex in club bathroom May 6, 2013

FORT WALTON BEACH – The smell of dirty, public bathrooms must be a powerful aphrodisiac for some folks.

A woman who was caught having sex in the bathroom at a local nightspot tangled with Fort Walton Beach Police officers and now faces multiple charges.

According to an arrest report, 26-year-old Alicia Fawn Chessher was escorted outside the Block nightclub on Eglin Parkway after she was caught having sexual intercourse in the bathroom. As she was being escorted out by security, she allegedly struck one of the staff members and began swinging her fists at other staff members.

When police arrived she tried to start another fight with security employees, the officer wrote in the report. He noted she appeared to be highly intoxicated, with slurred speech, bloodshot and glassy eyes, dilated pupils, a red face, and a “staggered stance.” When an officer tried to intervene she struck him in the chest.

She was restrained on the ground but continued to kick and pull away from officers. She refused to enter a patrol car and resisted being put inside, and had to be physically put inside. Once there she tried to escape and had to be pepper-sprayed, the report indicated.

She was charged with disorderly intoxication, battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence, and resisting arrest without violence.

Couple accused of having sex on the beach ….. and I’m not talking about the drink. May 2, 2013

A gentle tropical sea breeze caressing your back, swaying palm trees, powerful waves crashing the shoreline, salty air, sun-kissed hair…and your lover next to you…au naturel.

What could be more natural?

But this is a public beach.

Ward Powell, a 53-year-old  Boynton Beach told cops that he had been skinny dipping in the ocean with Tanya E. Wheeler, 34, of Greenville, S.C., when “one thing led to another,” according to the Manalapan Police Department arrest report.

As two officers who responded to a 911 call reporting the amorous couple found them both still bare naked, according to the report.

He allegedly told cop he just couldn’t help himself, reports the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Some folks apparently have no self-control when it comes to the motion of the ocean stirring their desires.

Man busted after acknowledging he molested child ……. on Facebook April 21, 2013

OCALA – A 36-year-old man arrested Thursday by an Ocala police detective for sexual battery on a child younger than 12 was arrested Friday by a Marion County Sheriff’s Office detective for another sexual offense on a different victim.

Ocala police said the victim in the first case, now a teenager, told an official at the Kimberly’s Center for Child Protection that when she was about 4 or 5 she was molested by Mark L. Franklin. In a Facebook chat with Franklin, she asked him about the incident and he told her he prayed for forgiveness and was no longer a monster and was now a better person, according to reports.

Detective Jorge Fernandez developed probable cause for Franklin’s arrest.

On Thursday, Officer Joe Kelly saw Franklin at a park in northwest Ocala and took him to the police department for questioning. Franklin told Fernandez about the Facebook posting but denied molesting the girl. Franklin was arrested and was taken to the Marion County Jail.

On Friday, MCSO Detective Bobby Levay charged Franklin with two counts of sexual battery stemming from a 2005 case in which Franklin allegedly molested a girl several times from when she was about 2 or 3 until she was in seventh grade. Levay said Franklin was about 14 or 15 at the time of the first reported incidents and that when the victim was in the seventh grade, he was about 26.

Franklin denied the allegations.

High school girls basketball coach allegedly texted student for sex April 16, 2013

KISSIMMEE, Fla. -  An Osceola County high school girls basketball head coach, who also taught at the school, was arrested Monday on suspicion of soliciting a student for sex.

Bryan Phillip Lockley, 27, of Orlando, was arrested on one count of solicitation of a minor for sexual activity via an electronic device.

Lockley, who coached and taught at Liberty High School in Kissimmee since August 2012, was fired on Friday, according to Osceola County School District spokeswoman Dana Schafer.  Lockley was a credit recovery teacher, running a program to help students “catch up on credits,” Schafer said.

According to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, an investigation began on Thursday when a teacher at Liberty High reported possible criminal activity involving Lockley.

Deputies spoke with school officials who had been notified by a 17-year old student’s parents that Lockley was texting their daughter pictures of himself and communicating about non-school-related issues, the Sheriff’s Office stated.

The student told deputies Lockley made statements to her that made her feel uncomfortable, asking her to stay after school and also to have lunch with him in his classroom, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said the student told them that during Spring Break, Lockley sent photos of himself to her, said deputies, who described the pictures as inappropriate but not criminal.

The student told a friend, who is also 17 years old about the text messages and pictures and her friend indicated that she was also getting text messages from Lockley, deputies said.

Detectives said they discovered one text message to the friend that offered her alcohol. The same text message implied Lockley was asking the student to have sex, deputies said.

Lockley was arrested after being questioned on Monday, and he was booked into the Osceola County Jail.
