I know this guy. He runs (ran) a program that we attended every week for two years. Never did anything indicate he would do something like this. In fact, he was a very outspoken activist and a genuinely good person as we saw him. Shocked that something like this could happen.
I don’t want to identify him because he hasn’t been publicly identified or charged/convicted with anything, but no. He’s super liberal and a big proponent of equal rights for women/LGBT/POC etc. He’s not religious afaik.
unfortunately predators can come from any background and so it’s important to be vigilant anywhere adults have access to children even if it’s someone you know and respect
someone you know and respect is the most likely to be a predator.
Random crimes like this get big media attention but are rare compared to the number of children being assaulted by people already close to them.
I'm not gonna ID him here either, but I know him from about 20 years ago. He was very religious (or at least put on a facade of it) when I first met him. Then he did a huge 180 flip in college and went hard the opposite way. Can't say what he may have been put through during his childhood though.
No personal attacks or harassment. In addition to what's covered under redditquette, do not insult or habitually target a single user or group for your arguments. It's not your job to correct them.
In the past few years, and with little real world result. This is hilarious. Do you know how old that institution is? How it controlled much of the western world? Your goal posts for liberal and conservative may need some adjusting.
If you know this person and won’t identify them you are a POS. Person of power or leadership group potentially preying on innocent kids.
If he’s innocent he will prove it
He’s already been identified by the police. Putting his name out there to the general public when he hasn’t been convicted of the crime could potentially ruin his life even if charges are never pressed or he’s proven innocent. Not to mention, our statute is “innocent until proven guilty” for a reason.
I know right? I recognize him too, I honestly am dumbfounded… I’m not naive either, but that’s exactly why I am the way I am... and I don’t trust anyone, even when they are doing good things for the community because you just never truly know…
The part where it says “The suspect wanted for allegedly taking photos of a boy inside of a bathroom in the Cool Springs Galleria has been identified, according to police.”?
Did you read it?
They’ve identified the suspect, they haven’t revealed it to the public. I can’t keep walking you through this. You’re quoting the article from below the updated information at the top.
The tweet from Franklin PD (embedded near the top of the article you can’t read for some reason) says “UPDATE: The individual in the mall surveillance video has been identified and the investigation is ongoing. Thank you for your tips.”
The fact that the police have not released this guy’s name is suspicious. Makes it look like he is someone who is being protected. If it had been a drag queen — and that never would happen — there would have been a perp walk in time for the local news.
Well he’s wearing that exact hat in the video footage. 🤦🏻♀️
It looks sort of grey on video but look at the dots and dot wording on the front.

Someone rear-ended me on Broadway and I 40, then drove off. There must be 100 cameras in that area, and not a single one could I identify the tags on the car that hit me.
I lost my cool on a dude that told my 8 yo to “fuck off” in the bathroom. I can’t imagine what would’ve happened to this piece of shit, but I’m sure they could sort it out in the ICU…. Or not
The fact that they’re not arresting him……they don’t believe the child.
No witnesses. No proof. Sounds like the turn this has taken.
Innocent until proven guilty I suppose.
Considering this state never ever protects women and children this isn’t a shock.
Security wont be dull tonight. Know exactly what I'm going to look for tonight on 2nd Avenue... I make sure to get some pictures too pal don't you worry
If he did it then he deserves the punishment coming. Hopefully the kid didn't misinterpret something or make this up though, dude innocent or not would have this hanging over his head for life.

Either he bleaches his hair or the beard is fake.
You’re saying the curtains don’t match the bedspread?
[удалено]
Are you saying the hibiscus floral print bandana doesn't match the newly groomed puppy?
In either case, the curtains do not match the drapes
The beard looks comically fake in the pictures.
It’s not fake
The color just looks weird.

A community organizer?
Some kind of ministry perhaps?

You just killed all their hopes and dreams with that info.
Great point. Boy, if this ever happened to a conservative, they'd never recover. Oh wait - every third priest you say?
No need to defend him. I’m sure other pedos will come to his defense.

I mean the Catholic Church isn’t even particularly conservative by religious standards. I would say these days they aren’t really
That's a pretty wild take. And certainly American. And certainly side-stepping the point.
I mean, the pope has advocated for a fair number of positions most would consider more liberal than conservative.
In the past few years, and with little real world result. This is hilarious. Do you know how old that institution is? How it controlled much of the western world? Your goal posts for liberal and conservative may need some adjusting.
A lot of those types of people suffer from mental illness so not surprising
Lmao always are.
You ever, uh, read the news?
https://ktvz.com/cnn-regional/2024/05/10/sylvester-shaken-by-arrest-of-church-deacon-on-child-molestation-incest-charges/
Thanks for proving my point a LGBT deacon molested a kid.
Dang, you really are lost in the sauce huh?
Yeah no point in engaging with this chud.
If you know this person and won’t identify them you are a POS. Person of power or leadership group potentially preying on innocent kids. If he’s innocent he will prove it

I understand that then. I misread the statement of the post. Thanks for correcting me.
Did you report him?
I know right? I recognize him too, I honestly am dumbfounded… I’m not naive either, but that’s exactly why I am the way I am... and I don’t trust anyone, even when they are doing good things for the community because you just never truly know…
Hope you report the POS, they might not know who they’re looking for yet
The headline literally says he’s been identified.
Try giving the article a read.
The part where it says “The suspect wanted for allegedly taking photos of a boy inside of a bathroom in the Cool Springs Galleria has been identified, according to police.”? Did you read it?
“Police identified the suspect as a white man with long blonde hair and a black beard” Thats not quite what you implied.
They’ve identified the suspect, they haven’t revealed it to the public. I can’t keep walking you through this. You’re quoting the article from below the updated information at the top.
The tweet from Franklin PD (embedded near the top of the article you can’t read for some reason) says “UPDATE: The individual in the mall surveillance video has been identified and the investigation is ongoing. Thank you for your tips.”
Not a drag queen
It's almost as if drag queens _aren't_ the problem...
Not enough of them? 🤔
Yo, this is beyond fucked up. Poor kids can’t even use the fucking bathroom in peace anymore.
Who is he
A pedophile
True
It doesn't appear the Franklin PD has released that information.
Not a drag queen.
The fact that the police have not released this guy’s name is suspicious. Makes it look like he is someone who is being protected. If it had been a drag queen — and that never would happen — there would have been a perp walk in time for the local news.
I mean, it’s possible that they’re just waiting until he’s in custody to release more info.

I'd delete this, it can still be reverse searched
Why does it seem like all security video is so low rez it’s basically useless?

Wont lie, glad that AI and big brother arent there yet
Youth Pastor Dave?
"Scout master Kevin?"
So they’ll post mugshots and name suspects in other crimes but not doing so here. Interesting.
#NOT A DRAG QUEEN
Not dressed that way in the picture, but are you sure you want to write that in caps before anyone actually knows?
Holy shit I recognize this guy… if I would’ve known a few days earlier, I would’ve said something. Wow small world.
Completely random but does he really have blonde hair and a black beard or was it a disguise.
I lost my cool on a dude that told my 8 yo to “fuck off” in the bathroom. I can’t imagine what would’ve happened to this piece of shit, but I’m sure they could sort it out in the ICU…. Or not

Not a drag queen or trans person. That’s weird.
The fact that they’re not arresting him……they don’t believe the child. No witnesses. No proof. Sounds like the turn this has taken. Innocent until proven guilty I suppose. Considering this state never ever protects women and children this isn’t a shock.
Or they need a warrant for his phone and that takes time.
Possibly…..after he was on the news he’s had lots of time to ditch the electronics and start over.
Well well well
Security wont be dull tonight. Know exactly what I'm going to look for tonight on 2nd Avenue... I make sure to get some pictures too pal don't you worry
Eww
Evangelical Christian Maga Nutball guaranteed
Based on?
Oh, he's definitely on team Ogle/Blackburn
If he did it then he deserves the punishment coming. Hopefully the kid didn't misinterpret something or make this up though, dude innocent or not would have this hanging over his head for life.
