Two youth leaders arrested for having sex with kids in Florida



A Florida youth pastor and softball coach have been arrested for sex crimes with minors in separate cases.

Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said David Robinson, a 34-year-old youth pastor, sent multiple texts with sexual content to at least two minors, aged 12 and 17 between January and June 2023.

'He disgraced the name of the church where he served and is challenging the faith of its parishioners due to his actions,' Chronister said.

Robinson is suspected of sending the minors Bible verses and ask them questions such as 'Are you sexually active? Have you ever been pregnant? Have you ever been penetrated?'

He is facing nine counts of transmission of harmful material to a minor and is being kept at the Polk County Detention Center.

'I'm disappointed and disgusted that a youth leader in our community preyed on these young teens, using his position of trust to communicate in ways that are not fitting of any adult, let alone a man of God,' Chronister said.

Apart from working at the Shiloh Baptist Church, Robinson used to volunteer at various Christian schools in east Hillsborough County.

Chronister also confirmed Matthew Galhouse, a 40-year-old softball coach in Pasco County, was arrested for engaging in sexual relations with a 17-year-old in a park.

She allegedly was on a softball team in the county.

He has been charged with 12 counts of sexual battery. The case was brought to light after the teen's parents started becoming suspicious and started checking her phone.

'Not only did he bring her back to the house to have sex with her at his house here in Hillsborough County, he also then said, "I feel comfortable, I'll hire you to be the babysitter for my child." So when she would babysit, he took that as an open invitation to have sex with her,' Chronister said.

'This is an adult who took advantage of his victim and used his position of power and influence to get what he wanted.

'Thank you to the victims for their courage, thank you to the parents for being good parents and thank you to anyone out there who knows that these two youth leaders in our community that preyed on these young, impressionable, female adults. I am grateful for the bravery of this victim who spoke out and I plead with anyone else who may have been victimized by this softball coach or the youth pastor to please speak with our detectives.'

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic.

He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....
