A former fire chief who volunteers as a Florida town’s Santa was arrested on child porn charges on July 13. Sixty-two-year-old James Jude Silverstone stands accused of amassing an illicit collection of over 1,500 images of child pornography.

Bad Santa!
When people record fights or war for buisness and not education, is that revictimaztion? No no no it's not.
When people make movies for money, about child abuse based upon real stories were the victims never gave permission to make the movie, is that revictimization? Nobody asks that, because it's about prudism and not the childs well-being.
Ive never been a fan of taking your child to sit on a strangers lap in the first place. It’s always been disturbing that people do that.
He has that special look.
I remember that doctor he unalived his a few years later
My god 93,000 images those poor babies omg how disturbing and it always seems like someone you would never expect doing something so evil. Could you imagine knowing this pOS what an embarrassment to a whole town WTF i swear we all need to be more aware of our surroundings. These guys walk the same path as us every day at the store, work, gym, ECT
Probally had a hard on while kids sit on his lap.
So…why are people who do this to kids allowed to live?
Have a seat
Words matter. Infants are subjected to those acts, not engaged in them.
The older the that I get the less and less I seem to have the stomach for this kind of stuff
Lol, I've been waiting for years to hear about these Santa guys. Such a weird thing to do in the first place
Christ Hansen is an important public servant. Helps seek out child preditors. Hopefully he is kept in the spotlight to help keep children safe.
More than 55% of workers in schools, churches, coaches, and anything to do with children, are there for a reason. I bet if you look into these things, and people are truthful, yes, and the bad thing is they get caught, they lose their job, and then they just get hired somewhere else….
It’s become a sick world we live in .
Our children are our future generations but yet we somehow defile them
Once again Florida Man for you, people..
You cant trust anyone, sad but true….
This is why I’m terrified to let my future kids do anything omfg
I don’t feel so bad now for never taking my kids to see Santa 😢 disgusting
Im very senical so wouldve suspected the santa clause at the start
He must’ve not had any ho’s.
The affidavit PDF is horrific. The material these people view is pretty awful, and both those who view and produce it need serious serious prison time.
he’s gonna wish he was born with eyes on the back of his head in jail 😊
Santa Claus is a product of Christianity. Surely it’s safe 😀
Ol' Creeper 🎅👿
But Handson has already been charged with underage "disgust"…
This is one of my biggest fears. I always think how sitting on a lap is usually reserved for intimate partners or family. Having your child sitting on a strangers lap in any other scenario would be weird.
A "volunteer" Santa…red flag right there. Dudes on thin ice gettin wrapped up in this especially in FLORIDA, referencing the new DP law for convictions for SA against children under 12. People in positions of authority and trust absolutely earn it if they commit these types of offenses. Some of the parents of this community are now having to remember their own child on this ogre's lap..totally disgusting and practically unbearable
Are we supposed? Anyone who volunteers hours to have strangers’ children straddle their lap for handouts is up to no good.
Sick
Drink and drugs
why is it that figures of innocence and morality tend to have so many creeps?
Florida is a disgusting place….
😳🤢🤮🤢🤮😡🤬
