- - Villager, Remax Agent, pastor. arrested (https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/villages-florida-non-villages-discussion-93/villager-remax-agent-pastor-arrested-129743/)

The story relates he is a 'fugitive from justice' so he is likely going to be sent back to SD for trial or whatever awaits him there. The impression I got from the news release was a complaint was filed against him but that he had not been convicted.

BTW I have held a RE broker's license in the state of New Mexico since 1976. The last time renewed, a couple of years ago, for the very first time I had to be fingerprinted and pay for a criminal background check. That is the way it is nowadays. What a world it has become!

Not necessarily. He was a pastor until Sept 2013 when allegations of abuse arose and he was asked to resign. He was indicted by a grand jury in October 2014 and was arrested the same day of the indictment. Doubt he had any criminal record prior to coming to The Villages. In fact, he still doesn't.

This website that she is referring to is not allowed and will be *******out every time you mention it. Since you have very few posts, you will learn that Gracie is one of the biggest cheerleaders of this wonderful place. She's just keeping others informed that are not in TV at the time and all appreciate the time she spends.

I dont think I was questioning anyone.....just adding more useful information....

....... I thought this was a open discussion....I didn't realize that Gracie is the only one that people depend upon. I have found many others also have new ideas and discussions to empower readers.

.......I read all the threads and all the opinions as well as listing my own. This keeps the discussions unbiased as I had hoped it was ment to me.....

Lots of ideas and you to pick and choose ....

I do have one question.....do or does anyone....writing on here have a $ stake in this TOTV site..besides their real estate? ......could that be the reason for the xxxxxxxx......?

I don't have anything to do with this site. I have had hundreds of posts deleted and I have one permanent reprimand from TOTV, that just breaks my heart, because I have only had two speeding tickets, period and amen and I am a sissy and a wuss and I was a teacher's pet too. I don't use the name of the OTHER site because it will be exxed out. I don't have any business interests in The Villages or anywhere. My husband still works for a large truck manufacturer as a consultant. After working for that company for over half a century.

I am old and wrinkled and enjoying the heck outa my life. I am a know it all. I am a closet journalist, but thank God our descendants are making a living doing it and I can live vicariously through them. Wanna see Pictures of our grandchildren????

I think Asian Three only defended me, because you mentioned my name as wondering why I didn't use the name of the other site.. After having posted here for years, you get a "feel" for people . Most people have figured out that I am full of owl poopy but many still feel like friends.

Today, with all that's going on in this world, no one should be surprised at a background check for just about anything.

However, years ago there was no such thing as a background check (in Florida), let alone numerous ones. You didn't say, but I am assuming you are speaking about a driver's license.

I've been in Florida since 1983 and there was never any such thing prior to taking a written test.

but why would another news agency be blocked....? on TOTV?

There are quite a few things that don't make sense on this site.
Perhaps you should make a direct, public thread or post to the administrator
or moderator (are they the same person???) and ask the question.

Ooops . . . I guess I just did without being specific,
but everyone knows what those questions would be.

The TOTV website is privately owned and provided FREE to members.
Profit is made from selling ads.
The owners decide what policies they will follow.
If the website address of a newspaper is blocked, I assume the owners have good reasons.
Perhaps they compete for advertising revenue.
The owners don't owe us an explanation.
