Sex Offender Sued After Winning $3m Lottery

A sex offender has won nearly $3m on the lottery - and is being sued by two of his alleged victims.



A sex offender is being sued by alleged victims after winning $3m (£1.93m) on the lottery.

Timothy Poole purchased the winning ticket earlier this month in Mount Dora, near Orlando, Florida.

He took a lump sum payment of about $2.2m (£1.4m).

Poole was accused of sexually battering a nine-year-old boy in 1999.

Poole denied the allegations but pleaded guilty to attempted sexual battery and was sentenced to time served.

His probation was revoked in 2003 after he failed to show up for counselling.

The lawsuit was filed by two brothers, who were nine and five when Poole was arrested.

In 2010, the Legislature eliminated a statute of limitations for victims of sexual battery younger than 16.

The two that filed aren't the same 9 year old that was mentioned earlier. but then that part would escape you.

If that is the same child he can't lay another criminal charge and civil suits do have a limitation of being able to sue

No I saw it, a criminal conviction doesn't put any coins in the victims pockets, that what a civil case would do, you know like on the OJ example of American justice. These charges would be looking for financial compensation. If they are other victims why would I be bothered by new charges being laid?

Statutes of limitations are not only for criminal cases, MHz. Not down here anyhow. And civil suits don't have "charges."

Question: why do the problems of a convicted child sex offender bother you so much?

They don't, file the criminal charges, a civil suit dating back to 1999 isn't going to get filed according to that link I posted.

Other than that are you insinuating that I molested my Grandson in the 20 years that I took care of him? Be very fuking careful how you answer this question.

So are the charges for justice alone or justice and $3M in compensation for pain and suffering? I assume a civil case is a sure thing if the one being sued has a guilty plea in a criminal charge associated with events. If they had taken a poor person to court and won withing the time limit then the price would be symbolic unless a lotto win came along, then that money could be tapped fair and square. Without the time limit being observed then a later suit could not be filed.

To quote the judge, "This isn't a court of justice, boy, this is a court of law."

Charges are filed in criminal cases, that is the state vs. the accused. Compensation for wrongs between individuals is the subject of civil cases, in which the state is not involved as a party.

I assume a civil case is a sure thing if the one being sued has a guilty plea in a criminal charge associated with events.

Assuming is never a good idea in law, but in this case you're correct. The conviction is powerful evidence.

If they had taken a poor person to court and won withing the time limit then the price would be symbolic unless a lotto win came along, then that money could be tapped fair and square.

Wrong. There is generally a time limit for executing a judgment (which means "getting paid") usually 30 days. After that, the person no longer owes the judgment amount.

Without the time limit being observed then a later suit could not be filed.

Not sure what you meant by that.

Only a creep would challenge an attempt to clear up something that might or not be an actual insinuation. A question you negated to answer just now, typical creep tactic, ask anybody.

Simple it is, after all look at you, you definitely have a creep streak in you. You may think you are saving the board from me but reality shows they are quite capable of taking care of themselves and most even like to do their own actual replies, excepr for you and ES who survive by finding others that will agree with their stance, the morality of the issues is the least of your concerns.

In a bar I could probably give you a black eye, get a $5 fine and sue you for slander and when you counter sue for assault damages I could get another punch in and you get to stand up and put into record just what a creep you actually are. The payout would be about equal but I would be the clear winner, yes?

That prospect makes my heart beat faster, a showdown usually follows at this stage if it was a movie.
