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.
No. I was talking about totally legal ecstacy; as the Libertarians would have. No laws, no regulations .... You believe that some drugs should not receive commercial legalization; does that mean that you believe that some drugs should be illegal from use or distribution without regulation? I won't try to tie you down specifics if you can give me a two sentence position without parsing with words such as "commercial legalization".
LOL! Did I say it was a crime? No, I didn't! Yet another straw man argument! You are quite a piece of work!

Are you one of the Drug Czar's personal assistants? I would suspect that anyone who spends many hours every day defending the Gov't and its irrational and indefensible position on the Drug War would also be receiving Gov't checks.
Are you one of Soros' paid spammers. I would suspect anyone engaging in such demonizing would be receiving checks from him to keep the drug legalization agenda going.

I would tend to disagree. Despite the fact that it sometimes gets heated, it is possible to debate this topic fairly from both sides. Take a look at robertpaulson for an example of someone on your side who is a quality debater.
But I have more fun with the paid spammers.

That's "all" he has to do now to get beer or cigarettes---yet kids report that those items are harder to get than marijuana.
Kids report that you are a paid doper spammer.

Since kids now report that it's easier for them to get marijuana than beer or cigarettes, it's far from clear that adult legality increases minors' access.
Druggie propaganda that is even contradicted by your intial posted article. You keep repeating this "kids report". Well I say kids report that you are a doper and a paid spammer.
Just admit it. You FEAR freedom. You WANT the government to tell YOU what to do and think and tell everyone else what to do and think.
Seeing as how you virtually post 24/7 on all drug related threads, I highly suspect you are the one on Soros' bankroll and you are trying to deflect suspicion by accusing other people! Also, about 99% of all your posts are ALL on drug related threads! What are you hiding? Are you trying to keep drugs illegal to keep the prices high so you can continue to make millions of dollars a year?
Is that all you do, look for trouble on WOD threads?
I never even see him mentioned except by the dope defenders.
And hysteria whenever facts are presented.
Why don't you enlighten us with some tales of your past, Racie-Boy??
The only hysteria I see is coming from the side of the drug warriors.
George Soros is the Daddy Warbucks of the American pro-drug movement. He is a good friend of Hillary's and is a major socialist.
If you say "no, legal does not equal validation", then you have contradicted your whole point.
If you answer "yes, legal does equal validation", then you have to say that society also validates tobacco addiction, compulsive gambling in Las Vegas, drinking yourself to intoxication at home, sloth, lying to your family, etc.
If you want those things to be legal, then you are validating them, according to your "legal=validation" position.
That's why you won't answer the question, IMO
Huh, I guess your daily mantra is that everything is relative. The subject is drug validation and that pot is an integral part of the modern drug culture.
Your first inclination is to say "what about tobacco, what about alcohol", thus changing the subject while conviently leaving out the main point of the discussion and ignoring the nuances and differences between tobacco, alcohol, and pot.
Such as pot being a gateway drug to the drug culture. I know, I know you will come up with the knee jerk and silly Libertarian arguement, "that murderers also drank milk and ate vegatables", while ignoring the fact such as that the bible of the modern American drug movement(High Times magazine) also praises such drugs as LSD, ectstasy, and cocaine.
