Florida police raided the home of a former state coronavirus data scientist on Monday, escalating a feud between the state government and a data expert who has accused officials of trying to cover up the extent of the pandemic.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement executed a search warrant Monday morning at the home of data scientist Rebekah Jones, who was fired by the state Department of Health in May. The agency is investigating whether Jones accessed a state government messaging system without authorization to urge employees to speak out about coronavirus deaths....

Apparently she got caught accessing government systems. Now the media will try and protect her, no doubt.
That link gives an error. I think this is the article though: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8344121/Married-Florida-data-scientist-fired-affair-student-arrested-three-times.html
They will actively prosecute the pending cyberstalking charge now. Then the breach charge will stick. She is going to do time.
Fired? That merits a big promotion at most colleges nowadays.
And the fake news will protect her and elevate her to whistle blower status
I wouldn’t touch this crazy beach with Laz’s member!
Yep, this lady is Fatal Attraction nuts. I’d wager her next controversy will be an affair with her new attorney. He also looks like the kooky type — they’ll REALLY get along, until they don’t...
Data Scientist? I didn't know there was a field in science called "Data". Could the media be trying to build up her resume?
Per the Daily Mail article:
“Rebekah Jones led a team of Florida Department of Health scientists and public health officers to create and design a comprehensive COVID-19 dashboard
The 30-year-old said in a May 5 email that she was fired for refusing to ‘manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen’
DailyMail.com can reveal that she was fired in 2017 from Florida State University when she was a PhD student and instructor for having an affair with her student
Jones was charged with three counts of cyberstalking her student Garrett Sweeterman, then 21, who filed a restraining order against her
She allegedly created a ‘revenge porn’ website called SurvivingGarrett and sent the link to online boards focusing on women’s issues and the #metoo movement
Jones posted at least 60 pages of a 342-page manifesto with a narrative of the affair with Sweeterman, including screen grabs of sexts between the two
She claims in the essay that the fling with Sweeterman led to a pregnancy. She gave birth to a little girl in mid-2018 and shares an eight-year-old son with her husband “
I tend to agree.
What the hell is wrong with people?
Actually her 3rd of 3 arrests was from violating an active trespass (restraining) order against her, taken out by FSU.
