The State of Florida Sanctions Child Abuse
Florida’s Escambia County Assistant Prosecutor, David Rimmer exhibits unethical and immoral treatment of a 13-year-old-sexual abuse victim in blatant display of child abuse during recent murder trial. When did the state of Florida start to sanction child abuse? Pensacola, FL, October 9, 2002 ÷ Concerned citizens are outraged over the blatant display of child abuse exhibited by Florida’s Assistant Prosecutor David Rimmer. Mr. Rimmer flagrantly disregarded the standard practice of requiring the testimony given by minors or victims of sexual abuse to be made during a courtroom session closed to the public. He recently called a 13-year-old victim of sexual abuse to testify on national television. This took place during the murder trial accusing a convicted child molester of killing the boy’s father. Additionally, the same defendant is charged with molesting the 13-year-old. There is little question that Mr. Rimmer intended that this victim be cast in the least favorable light to the jury and used his authority and power to humiliate and degrade the underage victim of a convicted child molester. Mr. Rimmer presented Alex King, a child victim of sexual abuse, in a courtroom to offer testimony against the defendant, Ricky Chavis. Alex King was forced to give testimony with both arms and legs shackled while dressed in his county jail uniform. This child was required to answer questions regarding his “sexual relationship” with the defendant which not only got into specifics, but also included reading “love notes” the child victim wrote. Florida law prohibits a “consensual sexual relationship” between a 13-year-old child and a 40-year-old adult, calling it statutory rape. It was Mr. Rimmers’ obligation to insist that this testimony, by this child sexual abuse victim, be given in a closed session rather than parading a young boy shackled in handcuffs around the courtroom. Unfortunately, Alex Kingâs testimony was broadcast to millions of television viewers. State sanctioned child abuse must be stopped. Mr. Rimmerâs unethical and immoral treatment of a 13-year-old victim of sexual abuse is not acceptable. He must be held responsible for his actions and be charged for child abuse. Alex and his 14-year-old brother Derek King are in the Escambia jail awaiting their sentencing for being found guilty of second-degree murder without a weapon and arson. According to the jury, the boys opened the door of their home and allowed the murderer of their father to enter. The minimum sentence for this crime is 22 years to life. Donât let Floridaâs legal system fail Alex and Derek. Starting with one voice, laws can be changed.

There’s a real “good ole boys” network going on here. The boys were allowed to waive their rights and gave their confession to a deputy sheriff who was a friend of Rick Chavis with no other adults and no attorney present. The clothes the boys wore the night of the crime were washed and never tested for evidence. Chavis was allowed to visit the scene after the crime since he was a friend of some of the firemen. Rimmer purposely lied to the jury. The more I read about this case, the more I find wrong with it. We need to clean house here and get rid of the corrupt officials.2 thoughts on “The State of Florida Sanctions”

whqat is daivd rimmer’s past He used to be a cop. Was he a corrections officer like Reggie Jerganin and Sheriff Ron McNesby. You tell me. He has told some many lies if Rimmer told me it was rainning outside I would have to outside and get wet to see if he was telling the true. What about Mike Chavis he is involve toRecords show that at 12:30 the night of the murder that someone was talking to Robert Merdido and Mike Chiavis to Robert that Ricky Chavis was not there. The reason I know this is that they keep pretty good out going calls at the jail. the end at 12:49 the night of the murder. Why is Reggie Jerganin Lying about the telephone calls from Ricky chavis. And read Derecks last comment on his confession . They asked him if understood the statement he just made and he said what statement. Why was Reggie Jerganin alowwed to sit in on the confessions of derek King. Reggie used to work in warrants. And why was Ricky Chavis sitting outside the intergation rood. why was Reggie Jerganin wlking out and in the intergation room. answer all those questions and you know who killed Terry King. Why does a waitress who works om mobile hwy who knows terry king take the boys down there for a meal and ask alex why didn’t you tell me this. How could you keep it from me. and when ricky chavis drove up to the same restarunt terry ask for the check because he had to leave before he hurt someone and he pointed to ricky chavis. You see Terry Found out about the affair between Alex and Ricky Chavis. Maybe Terry was going to the Police,Maybe he was going to have Ricky Chavis put away. The night of the murder Terry was not asleep, Ricky Chavis was over there and there were having an arguement. Ricky asked the boys to go outside. That’s when Ricky Chavis killed Terry KIng in cold blood. and the phone called was to get mike prepared.Was is there a digial camera of Terry kings missing. Suppose I was to tell you that they were pictures of the boys in the nude. and just suppose I was to tell you that they are all over the internet. So you tell me what’s going on. And why does Reggie Jerganin want me dead. Suppose I was to tell you that he cut my ball jiont in half. I got pictures of the ball jiont and suppose I was to tell you that Reggie messed with my steering colunm causing me to almost to go over the hwy 90 bridge in Santa Rosa county. An suppose I was to tell you that he also put a hole in my gas tank and he loosen my lugs on my tires. and he also slashed my tires. The reason I know this Suppose I was to tell you the next door neighbors took pictures of him doing the hole thing.
