An Alachua County college student in jail on marijuana charges was raped over the weekend by his cell mate, a man already being held on sexual battery charges, authorities said Monday.
The 19-year-old student was serving four weekends in jail on charges of delivering marijuana, said Alachua County Sheriff's Sgt. Jim Troiano. Last weekend was the first weekend of his sentence.
His cell mate held a ballpoint pen to the teenager's neck at about 9 p.m. Friday and then forced himself on him, Troiano said. A member of the victim's family reported the incident to authorities on Saturday.
Jail detention officers, who check the cells at least once an hour, heard nothing and nothing was reported to them Friday, Troiano said.
Randolph Jackson, 35, was charged with sexual battery. Jackson has been in jail since July on charges of sexual battery in a different case that is still pending.
The two were put in a cell together because they were both charged with felonies, Troiano said. Also, there was very little room in the jail last weekend, Troiano added. There were 918 inmates and the jail's capacity is 920.
"If there was space available, absolutely we would rather keep our weekenders in a pre-designated area," Troiano said. "But because we don't have much space available we have to do with circumstances on hand."
Inmates are assigned to cells based on their charges, their history and other factors, he said.
These two inmates were being held in a two-man cell in pod 1-B. Inmates who are awaiting trial or who don't yet have a jail classification are kept in this section, Troiano said.
Jail officials don't house inmates who are charged with misdemeanors, which are less serious crimes, with those who have felony charges, he said.
Troiano said this was the first sexual battery reported at the jail in the memory of jail officials.
Jackson never showed any signs of having sexual tendencies toward other inmates, Troiano added. He has since been moved to his own cell.
Fine, we agree.
In your opinion, is getting roaring drunk in your home "validated" by society because there are no laws against it?
That's the question I've been trying to get answered for the last several posts.

Huh, I guess the rest of my reply #371 just went out the window(i.e didn't fit your world view).
Yes, I realize that. Me saying he went "evil" was a joke.
It was lame, IMO, because 95% of those who peruse FR regularly know that LeRoy has become the #1 pro-drug Libertarian on FR
I'm a bit disapointed in you, Dane. I thought I was the #1 pro-drug libertarian. Can I at l;east be FR's leading 2-issue malcontent?
and all these false outrages that "popped up", are just that, false outrages.
I think you need to re-stock on your tin foil.
Yeah. How many pounds of cocaine was he dealing?
LOL, I take a mental note of those who disagree with me on the drug issue, don't get paranoid it is only a mental note and I am not with the CIA or any other government agency and I am not tracking you all.
But the sudden "outrage" shown by people and the quick replies earlier by LeRoy on this thread says to me it was calculated and I see that as very transparent.
JMO.
LOL! LeRoy makes a calculated effort at lame sarcasm and all of the sudden he is the martyr for the pro-pot cause.
You're right! It was calculated to be just sarcastic enough to get not only other people to misinterpret it, but to get you to believe that it was done on purpose just so that you would post this message accusing him of doing all of this so that he could disprove you and make himself a martyr! Yeah, that's it!
Kids, say no to pot threads. They make you paranoid.
Humor me. What would be the gain of this apparent calculatd conspiracy?
FWIW, the violation was that he failed a subsequent drug test.
Funny you don't seem equally concerned about the subhuman animal who raped him paying a higher price than he bargained for.
I suppose that beast will hone his skills by practicing on weak prisoners until the day he is released to walk among us and our families again.
If the shoe fits.
OK, you win. I admit it, the whole thing was my idea, right down to the arrest itself, completely coordinated according to my schedule. All of this took some work, but hey, no price is high enough for a good cause. And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids!
The humor is on your side, IMO, with all these "outrages" popping up all of the sudden.
I very rarely use the term "LOL" while on the internet because it annoys me when people dop so when you know damned well they're not really laughing. However, your post gets a genuine "LOL" from me.
LOL! Don't go overboard.
That's the question I've been trying to get answered for the last several posts.

It did not answer whether you think society bestows validation on something if it does not prohibit it.
I think that's an important point to clarify because you said MrLeroy was pushing "drug validation".
So I guess if you have a guffaw in public you preface that guffaw by vocalizing, "Laugh out loud", since you only mentioned that "LOL" only bothers you when you see it used on the internet.
SHHHHH!! You fool! I was trying to cover for you! Stay quiet and he still might not learn about the one-armed man on the Warren Commission who hid Hoffa's body!

JMO(whoops, jmc doesn't like internet abbreviations, please excuse my faux pas) Just my opinion, but I believe that my reply #371 is suffice in answering your reply #370.
