Just words. Words to make one think, but not very good at expressing them.

Have a great day, all. It was an interesting conversation, and I value all of you and your opinions. I am out numbered so I will take a gentle retreat....and get a haircut..

He is my HERO... until I get to know him.

There are not that many hotheads in the Villages fortunately. Two seemed to have crossed paths in this instance. And, sexual advances on minors is quite rare in the Villages as far as I know. Of course, relative to other communities of our size we have very few kids around.

The grandfather contributed to the confrontation though unless the cops did not have enough evidence to charge this man for trying to pick up the girls in the pool. There should have been evidence though if the police interviewed people at the pool like these three kids. I am assuming that the girls were asked about what the man was talking with them about before the grandfather got so livid.

I do not see someone who gets into a rage without getting the facts as a hero.

Today on the other site: He has been granted “indigent status” and will be represented by the public defender.

My question - Tal, why don't you jump in and defend him and save us tax payers a few bucks?

Yes, perhaps they will release this guy out to the community again, because he is such a shining example of civility.

I hope they throw the book at this jerk. I don't want him talking to my grandkids.

There was an underage Villager reported to have been allegedly stalking a woman around Lady Lake and the Villages according to the site with no name. I was a victim/survivor of a female stalker along with my then live-in girlfriend Jennifer V., back when I was doing some reference work, cataloging foreign language books and finishing up the WESTLAW cataloging project at the University of Minnesota Law Library. This was for most of the 1989-1990 academic year. And I remember that Jennifer complained bitterly to the then Law Librarian, M. Kathleen Price about the stalker Gail P. Gail P., had targeted a Math Professor at the University of Minnesota and had chained herself to his desk. She was at the reference desk while I was working and at other times too because she was working on her defense against charges brought by him.

The University of Minnesota at that time could not do much about Gail P., until she followed me home and I confronted her about it.

Looking back I do think she was slightly mentally ill or just terribly lonely.

Jennifer V., was a student of mine at Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners who asked me to move in with her after I graduated from Law School in 1989. A Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners legal secretary played match-maker and persuaded her to just ask me to move in with her as a way of really getting to know me. Jennifer V., went on to be a Prosecutor in a small town in Iowa before moving on to something else.

Jennifer V., did try to talk me out of fighting for law libraries getting more practical materials in their collections for survivors/victims of crimes ( what would become my 224 613 Project) as did many of my friends from the University of Minnesota Law School but I can be incredibly stubborn when I get my teeth into something that I know has to be done.

Anyway, I just wanted to relate my experiences with stalking and mention the survivor/victim of an alleged stalking here recently in the Villages and Lady Lake. It seems to be with domestic violence a rather common crime. I did try to help Gail P., with her legal research defending herself from the U of MN Math Professor but that was just doing my job as a reference librarian. What resulted was almost a full academic year of stalking of me and Jennifer V., and what seemed to be an impotent U of MN police Dep't in taking actions to stop this stalking.

M. Kathleen Price would become the Law Librarian of Congress around 1991 through 1995. Then go onto to be Law Librarian at NYU and finally to the University of Florida.

What does this have to do with the incident?

I am talking about ANOTHER matter brought up by the site that must not be named. That's the alleged stalking of a woman by a Villages under 55 man. I was just informing people about my own experiences with a stalker but this was for a much longer period and during a period where the law did not give victims/survivors that many rights and/or options. This was primarily at an extremely liberal law school library in 1989-1990.

I did not want to start another thread for yet another "underage and causing a problem" person who was arrested here in the Villages for allegedly doing something criminal.

Empathy is extremely important for understanding the needs of victims/survivors of crimes. Especially when this relates to informational needs in libraries or accessible through libraries. https://www.victimsofcrime.org/our-p...esource-center
