Man charged with sexual battery of a child (man and his gay lover raped 11 year-old boy)

HOLLY HILL -- Timothy James Fitzwater, who is accused of having sex with an 11-year-old boy and a man he lived with more than two years ago, told police he left his lover shortly after the sexual acts were committed.

Police say video and Polaroid photographs show Fitzwater, 39, and his former lover, Gary Robert Hampton, 43, engaged in sexual acts with the boy, who is now 14, between December 2000 and December 2001.

The case came to light Monday when the boy's relatives found a video tape showing the men and the boy together and went to authorities, police said.

Circuit Judge R. Michael Hutcheson has issued a warrant for the arrest of Hampton on the same charge Tuesday, police said. So far, investigators haven't spoken with Hampton and think he may still be in the area.

Fitzwater is being held without bail at the Volusia County Branch Jail. Police are investigating whether other crimes were committed and officials said more charges could follow.

Has Lambda Legal leapt forward to the defense of these pederasts yet? After all, it's "just like" the Lawrence case.

BTW, I did see some comments by the cops and prosecutors involved in Lawrence, which was a Texas case. The cops were called to the apartment by an anonymous tipster, and they encountered the two offenders committing sodomy in plain view. They told the two men to stop, but they wouldn't -- the responders said the men's conduct was a clear provocation to arrest. That's why prosecutors went after the tipster and got him some jail time for playing the cops.

Now one of my neighbors has started hanging a big blue flag with a gold "equals" sign on it -- the veriest symbolization of moral relativism. Wonder if he wants me to morally relativize and equivocate when some robber is in his house murdering him? After all, ya can't rush into these things -- hey, it might be another gay setup. They might be campaigning to challenge laws against robbery-murder, what do you think?

As for the media.......as a Newsweek editor said, when cornered and grilled by Brent Bozell of Media Research Center about the Jesse Dirkhising sodomy-murder case, about why the media wouldn't touch the story, "it doesn't resonate". Of course, if the boy's still alive, and if he can be suborned into saying he liked it, then we've got another Lawrence case, and Lambda will step forward to embrace it. Then it will "resonate", under the rubric of "whatever floats your boat".

Don't you love liberalism?

He moved out within 2 weeks.

Yer a good man, dude. Well done.

Oh, and now make sure his rep follows him around. He needs to wander in waterless places for a while -- like, for the rest of his life.

After all, peds always reoffend when the opportunity arises. The principal difference among groups of peds is the alacrity with which they reoffend. The recidivism rate even among arrested and confronted peds under state and professional supervision is 100%.

No there is no such thing as a gay conspiracy to rape boys.....

That's right....."TINC" applies.

If you disagree and say so, you can go to prison in several states now, while the Southern Poverty Law Center sues your estate to make an example of you in civil court.
