LAKELAND, FLA. – Deputies arrested a 47-year old man after an investigation showed that he had been posing as a 17-year old boy while soliciting nude photos of a local 14-year old girl.
Timothy Jacobs of Lakeland, first made contact with the victim in March of 2020 via the social media app Snapchat, and they began chatting with each other. During these chats, Jacobs told the victim he was 17-years old, and she had informed him that she was 14.
By the end of May of 2020, Jacobs started requesting nude photos of the victim, which she eventually provided. Jacobs began sending her nude photos of himself.
On October 17, 2020, Jacobs drove to the victim’s house, and when he arrived the victim was in the yard with her step-father. As the step-father shook Jacobs’ hand, he realized that Jacobs was definitely not a teenager, and told the victim to go in the house. Jacobs got back into his vehicle and left.
The victim’s mother began reviewing cell phone bills and found that one particular phone number had been associated with her daughter’s phone. more here
He didn’t beat the CRAP out of the perv?
Disappointing.
Good work by everybody involved (although I’m with @TommyBoy in IN thinking step-dad should’ve beat the CRAP out of the pervy perp). And Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd wrapped it up nicely. Again.
This is why we must allow teenagers to vote, choose their gender and get abortions without parental supervision.
Their acute senses are flawless…
I don’t know … he looked 17 to me …
They should have invited the guy into the house — never to be seen again.
Bang!!
It’s too easy for people who want to harm children to access children in our tech milieu. And when we realize that these monsters are constantly on the hunt! They KNOW how easy it is. It’s so hard to raise kids to believe there are good people in the world and that they don’t have to be fearful. Child pervs cannot be reformed. They should all be (at least) chemically castrated and have permanent No Contact with anyone younger than 18. To harsh? Explain repeat offenders to all the kids whose lives they destroy.
I was really hoping this story would have developed into an Aluminum Easton vs. a traditional Wooden Louisville Slugger debate with discussions about future tech.
Oh well.
Now he will feel the wrath of Sheriff Judd.
Hemp is legal again, I hear it makes fine rope.
I would have nailed the perv’s scrotum to a wooden stump, and pushed him over backwards… Just before I made him dig a nice 6 foot deep hole.
Short eyes have an early expiration date in prison.
I would hate to raise kids today. I know my daughter struggles with not wanting her kids to fear everyone yet wants to protect them. She homeschools so she doesn’t have to worry about the perverts there. They’re too young to be on the internet or at least under her rules they are, I know other parents who have no problem giving their toddlers and young school age children internet access.
Ya can’t wrap an aluminum bat with barbed wire.
A Slugger will break, decisions, decisions.
“Ya can’t wrap an aluminum bat with barbed wire.”
Some kind of law against that or something? Duct tape isn’t just for emergency boat repairs.
What, he wasn’t wearing a mask?
When I saw “Her Father was waiting”, I anticipated reading about Dad’s righteous and complete tune-up on a sex offender.
What a disappointment!
