A justifiably angry Florida man is winning nationwide attention after delivering some vigilante justice to an evil thug who sexually assaulted his innocent daughter.

According to an arrest report uncovered by WCJB, a father discovered Snapchat messages between his underage daughter and 25-year-old Anthony Groves of Ocklawaha.

After confirming the messages were also on Groves’ phone, the father beat the h*ll out of him. WCJB reports Groves was punched several times before he finally vacated the property.

Per reports, the incident occurred at home in Marion County on the Fourth of July.

WCJB reports that police arrested Groves was arrested on Sunday. He has been charged with five counts of sexual battery of a victim between 12 and 16 years of age, one count of transmission of harmful material to a minor, and a count of luring a child.

Thankfully, no charges have been filed against the victim’s father at this point. Considering this is Florida and not a deep state like California, this will likely remain the case.

Ocala.

By his mug shot, he didn’t look like a pedo to me. Not enough bruises on his face.

Hope he crushed his jewels flat

Looks like the irate Dad concentrated on heavy body shots--he knew that Anthony's mugshot would soon be all over the internet.

This is the way you do it.

This father should get the Ellie Nesler Award.

Hope he crushed his jewels flat

Or at least had a rusty razor handy to complete the job.

Agreed.

Good that the Assaulter was caught and received immediate punishment in a significant way, but this father also needs to have a talk with his daughter.

His daughter had been talking back and forth with this man.
She needs to admit her part in allowing this to continue.
They communicated to and fro for at least five different times. If this girl does not accept some responsibility for this, she’s going to do it again with another over-aged male, putting not just her safety in jeopardy, but everyone living in that family home. Some guys are not going to just run away without a confrontation.

It was on live TV. I felt for the Dad, He should’ve received a medal. Don’t think he was indicted, but not sure.

This is the way you do it.

Amen! That really was a heck of a shot.

[FamiliarFace]

I have no problem with what the Dad did.

[catnipman]

wouldn’t we all like to be on THAT jury?

[Bigg Red]

You are so right.
