A father facing criminal prosecution for a tweet accusing a far-left education activist of “grooming” got a reprieve Thursday when prosecutors told the judge they would not seek to move forward.
“After a review of the facts and evidence for the four claims brought by Mr. [Jorge] Torrico, the Commonwealth does not believe there is sufficient evidence to prosecute the above-mentioned charges,” Fairfax County, Virginia, assistant prosecutor Paul Vitale wrote in a court filing.
The Daily Wire reported on Tuesday that Harry Jackson, a black dad with a child who attends a prestigious magnet school who opposed far-left activists’ quest to abolish the school’s admissions exam in the name of “equity,” was facing four misdemeanors after Torrico, who wanted the test abolished, filed complaints against him.
Jackson fired off a tweet accusing Torrico of “grooming” behavior after Torrico attended an online PTSA meeting for the school, where he does not have a child, and interacted with a student leader.
Criminal charges for defamation are exceedingly rare in America, where purported defamation is almost always a civil matter. The threat of criminal sanctions has been hanging over Jackson’s head since a magistrate issued the first two of four criminal summons on September 22, 2021.
On February 23, 2022, Jackson appeared in court and his lawyer, Marina Medvin, asked for the charges to be dismissed, calling them unconstitutional. The Fairfax prosecutor’s office did not agree, instead asking for a postponement so it could “investigate,” Medvin said in court documents.

Disgusting animated video at link, a video being shown to 9-year-old school kids, where an adult leads the little boys and girls to talk explicitly about their wonderful masturbation habits.
Pedo-groomers are running our country. Otherwise, this would be a hanging offense.

A win for OK groomer!
Must like Let’s Go Brandon! OK groomer is scoring direct hits on the degenerate gender machine. When liberal scream foul, it means their crimes are being exposed.
Censoring of thoughts was always leading to this. The leftists’ dream is to put people away for life, taking away all their money and belongings, for thinking the wrong thoughts. And now they have it.
George Orwell could never have imagined how right he was.
“Pedo-groomers are running our country. Otherwise, this would be a hanging offense.”
It is in Russia, which is why there’s such an effort to change that government.
Heck, I didn't even know defamation was ever a criminal rather than civil matter.
The progression to pedo-acceptance has been really fast. I shudder to think of what they push next. I guess cannibalism. When they were pushing for “gay marriage” everyone with any sense knew the tranny stuff was next; when they were pushing the tranny stuff, everyone with any sense knew that sex with children was next. But slippery slopes aren’t real... or something.
“I DON’T CARE WHAT IT IS THEY’RE A’DOIN’SO LONG AS THEY AIN’T A’DOIN’ IT IN MUH FACE” isn’t a sufficient response. That’s what got us this far down the rabbit hole (phrasing! They will probably want to hump rabbits now!). They are going to do it in your face and make you approve of it.
Check out libs of Tick Tock on twitter - they expose groomers.
Fairfax County, Virginia, is becoming known as a groomer county.
The prosecution is only dropping the case because they don’t want the evidence for the defense to come out.
How anyone could consider the smallest fraction of this evil to posses the slightest level of plausibility is waaaay beyond me.
They had to do something when the horses moved away.
Yes, the first amendment to the constitution still applies. Congrats on figuring that out geniuses.
Wonder what went on behind the scenes with Younkin and Miyares.
The extent of this evil reveals support from a much larger group than the hair sniffer (Brandon) and his associates (crime family.)
And chock full of .gov employees..
I lived there in the 90's. Don't miss it.
Is the supposed victim planning to bring a civil suit? To sue for libel (written defamation)?
This is still on-going though. The prosecutor is trying to nolle pros the case but leave it out there hanging over this father’s head. He is fighting it demanding a dismissal with prejudice so they can not continue to threaten and harass him.
The accuser MAY have a civil case to pursue but this criminal case is complete BS.
Florida should march up the grades and ban specific forms of grooming, some completely banned from any public school curricula anywhere, in any grade.
Florida’s population would triple in a decade.
