sexual predator, lottery jackpot

A sexual predator in Florida has hit the lottery jackpot, winning $3 million dollars and choosing to take a lump sum payment in the amount of $2,219,807.90. There are some who believe that the man should not be able to keep his lottery winnings and that the money should go to the victims instead, but under Florida law there is no way to prevent a sexual predator from keeping any winnings from the lottery. In 2002 Timothy Dale Poole was legally convicted for the charge attempted sexual battery of a victim under age 12 years according to the police records. The sentence that Poole received was very light to begin with, he was sentenced to 10 years of probation and the 13 months of time that he served while going through the process and being convicted.

Sexual predator Timothy Pool, the recent lottery jackpot winner, had his probation revoked in 2003 and was given a 3 year prison sentence because he was terminated from the sex offender counseling program that was mandatory under his probation. Pool was terminated from the program because he missed 4 group sessions according to the report by Orlando’s WKMG. Poole stands 6 foot tall and weighs 450 pounds, and he is listed on the state registry of sex offenders as a sexual predator. Last Saturday Timothy purchased a scratch off lottery ticket at a Mount Dora 7-11 and won the jackpot prize. The only way the victims of Timothy Poole would be entitled to recovery any of his lottery jackpot winnings is if the victims had filed a claim with the court and received a judgment against Poole.
