Man Charged In Disabled Woman's Rape Freed

76-Year-Old Suffers From Dementia, Memory Loss

POSTED: 7:06 am EDT April 20, 2004

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A judge ruled that an elderly man charged with raping and impregnating a mentally disabled woman will not face prosecution or be committed to a mental facility because he suffers from a degenerative disease.

Orange Circuit Judge C. Alan Lawson also ruled Monday that 76-year-old Phillip Strong, who suffers from dementia and memory loss, cannot have unsupervised contact with any mentally disabled person or child and must be evaluated in a year.

Strong was accused of raping a woman, known only as J.D.S, at a group home formerly run by his wife, Hester.

Hester Strong has been charged with felony negligence and is awaiting trial.

J.D.S. now lives in another state-licensed facility. Her baby lives with foster parents.

Most of us could point out a few sickening similarities and maybe some significant DIFFERENCES to Terri.

My favorite is hilighted. Its such a shame Greer/Baird/Demmers are all so corrupt they can even pretend not to notice several felonies (including felony negligence) in progress.

I agree.

The corruption of the judgtes errodes public's respect for the judicial system.

Greer's buddy, Sheriff Everett Rice IS NOT RUNNING FOR SHERIFF AGAIN. Don't know why.
