GOP Stockton Mayor Anthony Silva, who has held official town hall meetings at an anti-gay megachurch and who ceremoniously gave the key to the city to God (who did not attend), has been arrested on multiple charges including secretly recording a male teenager playing a game of strip poker in his bedroom at a summer camp. Sacramentos NBC affiliate reports:
Silva, 41, was charged with eavesdropping or recording confidential communications, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, providing alcohol to a minor and cruelty to a child by endangering health, according to court records. The incidents for which Silva is being charged happened between Aug. 5 and Aug. 9, 2015, at the Stockton Silver Lake Camp, according to the Amador County District Attorney.
The arrest stems from a September 2015 FBI investigation where Silvas cell phone was seized by Homeland Security investigators at San Francisco International Airport as he got off a flight from China. One of the clips on Silvas phone contained audio of several people during a strip poker game in Silvas bedroom at the camp, the Amador County district attorney said. One of the participants was 16 years old.
Silva was arrested today at the camp where the 2015 incidents allegedly occurred. But wait theres more: http://www.joemygod.com/2016/08/04/california-gop-mayor-arrested-recording-teens-playing-strip-poker-bedroom-video/

He has obviously noticed how Obama refuses to label terrorists as Islamic extremists. If you cannot define a behavior, how can you fight it? So he launched his own Christ indemnified research.
So yes, it is Obama's fault.

Maybe the search was related to this case?

(62,444 posts)9. That's a weird story in itself
But...
"the arrest stems from a September 2015 FBI investigation where Silvas cell phone was seized by Homeland Security investigators at San Francisco International Airport"
...and all of that other nonsense seems to have happened in March 2015.
It is now August 2016.
Guy leads an interesting life.
