Pervets, new laws and effects

[Bob Lyle]

I'd like to play devil's advocate for the moment. Can anyone quote one case where a high school sports official sexually molested a player? I'm trying to understand how that would work with 1000 people packed into the gym watching. Maybe he sneaks into the locker room after the game and rapes the star center. It would seem to me that a fan in the stands would have more opportunity to molest a player than an official. Do all of the fans have to have a background check before buying a ticket to the gym? Do we have background checks before anyone can enter school property.

To repeat my initial request. Name a case where a high school sports official sexually molested a player.

Might be more worried of comments made by some official who may be a sex offender.

My thought on the Florida stuff is they haven't decided what to do about the checks yet but when they do I hope the system isn't as screwed up as the voting in 2000 was.

Not to worry. Florida has a new system:

Some of the problems with the new law is that there is no control stated in the law. ie who holds the checks or who pays.

We do have legal opinions that say the school boards have to pay which they cannot afford.
We as an association cannot run the checks and then "assure" the school boards because of constraints within the law.

The cost is not even been agreed upon. I have heard and read numbers between 47 and 100 but nobody can actually point to any one thing and say, "It costs X dollars"

Under the law, the check must be done with the FDLE and then the FBI to reach a level 2 clearance.

From what I have been told about other states, and I believe the FHSAA staff, no one knows of another state that has officials that have to meet these restrictions.

Let me quote this applicable part to you,
"The security background investigations under this section must ensure that no persons subject to the provisions of this section have
been found guilty of, regardless of adjudication, or entered a plea of nolo contendere or guilty to,
any offense prohibited under any of the following provisions of the Florida Statutes or under any similar statute of another jurisdiction:"

Take a look at the disqualifiers, most don't even deal with kids or sex.

Wouldnt it make sense for the assoc. to process a bg check ONCE and then not assign that official, or instate that person for officiating?

Under the law, we as an association cannot run the checks
It has to be done by the school board (one per county) AND because of the wording of the law, we have to get one for each county.

That is another reason we are raising a fuss over it.

All of this areas legislators are involved as well as the media in the Tampa area.

Post fixed above so that the link works.

I'm sorry that I fixed it after I read it. From below an outhouse seat? Shudder!

Thanks for the fix. The guy is NOT going from the outhouse to the penthouse. The story is on yahoo as the link may require registration. Many of those are chemical jobs along that highway.

You can enter nh peeping tom outhouse or something like that.

I have to register to see that article, can anyone give another link o post?

[26 Year Gap]

go to yahoo or google & enter "nh peeping tom outhouse" in the 'news' section.

Here's the story....yuck!

ALBANY, N.H. (AHN) - A teenage girl went to use the bathroom and found the something toilet looking back at her.

Police pulled 45-year old Gary Moody from a tank under the toilet of log cabin outhouse off the Kancamagas Highway in Albany - the tank and the man was full of human waste.


According to police, they got a call from the parents of a teenage girl who said when she went to use the facilities, she saw Moody's face staring back at her from the hole.

Moody was hosed off before police cuffed him, reporting he was treated like "hazardous material."



Police reportedly don't know how long Moody was in the tank, but because the door was locked, authorities figure he must have gone in through the toilet.


Moody is charged with criminal trespass and could face more charges. He is out on bail and due back in court next month.

They were talking about that story this morning on the radio but I figured it was just a bunch of crap.

[26 Year Gap]

Well, we know what he has for brains.

As for Florida requiring county by county checks...maybe some really bright Floridian will discover there are these things called "computers" which can be attached with "wires" so they can "share information" from county to county.

Don't count on it, Dan - this is the state where elderly Jewish ladies who were life-long Democrats somehow decided to vote for Pat Buchannan . . .
