The brother-in-law of former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, a Democrat, has been arrested in Florida on charges of human trafficking, battery and lewd or lascivious touching of a minor, according to the Office of the State Attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit.

"Jimmie Gardner, a youth motivational speaker and brother-in-law of former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, is facing serious charges of human trafficking and is currently in jail in Hillsborough County with no bond. Gardner is scheduled to face a judge in first [court appearance] in Tampa tomorrow," the office said in a Friday press release.

Tampa Police stated that the incident occurred early Friday morning at the Renaissance Hotel at International Plaza when 57-year-old Jimmie Gardner allegedly engaged in sexual acts with a 16-year-old girl before assaulting her during an altercation.

Every political and evangelical family of black power has hoards of relations running some non-profit for disadvantaged sumthin-or-others. It’s the bagman clearing house for the entire family. Charity organizations that appoint husbands, sisters, nieces, nephews, and otherwise connected shakedown schemes. They live like kings and queens.

I thought it and you said it.

The following excerpt from: https://www.mysuncoast.com/2023/11/17/man-exonerated-after-27-year-prison-sentence-rape-charges-now-faces-human-trafficking-charges/

Gardner, who was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 1984, was wrongly convicted in the 1987 sexual assault of two women in West Virginia. He was exonerated in 2016 and released from prison 27 years after his wrongful conviction. Two years later, he married Georgia Federal Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner. He currently lives in Georgia and works as a motivational speaker and emotional intelligence trainer for students and people who were formerly incarcerated.

I wonder if the girl was white. Would explain why this black dude got angry when she told him she didn’t want to do anything with him.

Discrimination against him solely for being black and some enemies trying to hurt Stacey Abrams because she’s an outspoken black woman politician who tried to overturn her election opponent’s victory. And he’s a “youth motivational speaker.” /S

So....

“Jimmie Gardner, a youth motivational speaker...”


Hmm. A ‘youth motivational speaker’ charged with assaulting a 16 year-old girl.

Gardner allegedly met the minor at 1:43 a.m. and invited her into his hotel room, which she accepted, before offering to pay her for sex.

“The victim initially agreed but later told Gardner that she no longer wanted to engage and he became angry,” police said. “Gardner advised the victim that she needed to leave his hotel room. The two got involved in a verbal altercation that escalated to a physical dispute after Gardner placed his hands around the victimโ€™s neck, impeding her breathing.”

“After the dispute, Gardner left the hotel room, and the victim called 911.”

What could possibly go wrong with a 57yo youth motivational speaker at 1:43AM in a hotel? Married to a US District judge, and BIL of Stacie Abrams?
