Of all the people to be arrested for child porn, Al Zimmerman, formerly of the FDCF

The Former spokesperson for the Florida Department of Children and Families decided to plea guilty in Federal Court to child pornography charges.

Zimmerman, 41, was caught in February of last year for possession of child porn.

The former spokespersons at first plead not guilty to the charges but changed his mind. As with most plea deals there comes a deal for the defendant and this case was no different. In exchange for his guilty plea Zimmerman was able to have charges of child porn, receipt of child porn and obstruction of justice charges dropped.

What a shame. I personally think that people like this should be charged with any possible charge allowed by law and dealt with in the most serve way. I personally think there should never be a plea deal allowed in cases like this.

Zimmerman plead guilty of production of child porn. Zimmerman would pay young males to produce the porn and then his intention were to sale the porn overseas.

Zimmerman was charged with eight second-degree felony counts. Police say Zimmerman paid a 16- and 17-year-old to perform lewd acts.

Even with the plea deal, Zimmerman still faces anywhere from 15 to 30 years.

And yes there is more to this store…

Gay love and what does one do to prove his gay love to his lover? Destroy evidence of course.

Michael Hernandez was also fired as a result of this case. Hernandez admitted to a sexual relationship he had with Zimmerman and I guess at some point in this case Hernandez wanted to help his lover and try to help destroy evidence of his crimes.

So Hernandez confessed during the investigation that he deleted files from Zimmerman’s work issued laptop and also confessed that he went to Zimmerman’s home and took his home computer and threw it in a trash bin.

For some reason Hernandez hasn’t been charged with any crime. I wonder why? Just his confession alone sounds like tampering with evidence or obstruction of justice.

I guess we may never know why Hernandez wasn’t charged but it would be interesting to know why.

This case is sickening. The very people that are suppose to be here to provide the services to children were the very people involved in producing porn with the same children they were suppose to protect.

Note: of the several victims there were only 2 listed in the criminal complaint that reportedly took place in the nude photos with Zimmerman. There was mention of at least 4 teens that took place in this with Zimmerman in the arrest report.

The alleged incidents took place in Hillsborough and Orange Counties.

1 of the teens was in the custody of DCF.
