This week's idiot is yet another ministry person, who is rabidly anti-gay, and was caught with a minor Do you think Conservatives know that the worst child predators are among themselves? I doubt it, but every week there seems to be an Idiot from a conservative background, who is rabidly anti gay, anti trans, anti drag queen, hates people of color, people of other ethnicities , and is the one who is abusing children. It's disgusting. I share these as a way of educating people to look in their own houses before accusing others of what's happening in your own backyard. Why this guy's bond was only set at $15K is unimaginable. Here's the story.
Winter Park businessman, former 'gay cure' ministry leader accused of trying to meet with minor

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Orange County deputies said Tuesday they had "stopped a predator before he had the chance to harm a child," announcing the arrest of a man accused of trying to meet with an undercover detective who was posing as a 14-year-old boy.
Alan Chambers, 54, faces charges of solicitation of a minor via computer, transmission of material harmful to minors, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device, records show.
Chambers' arrest is part of an investigation that started in February, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. His arrest affidavit states he and the detective spoke via Snapchat and Telegram between then and May of this year, during which Chambers allegedly sent sexually-explicit messages while attempting to arrange a meetup.
Detectives shared two pages of what Chambers allegedly said he wanted to do with the minor, including sending a "picture of a white (male's) torso laying in bed where the end of their penis was visible."
The affidavit states Chambers spoke of "forbidden love" and that he wanted the boy "so much," with the undercover detective stating the accused had asked him on April 10 if he could take an Uber and meet them near their office on Park Avenue. Chambers also repeatedly expressed concerns over getting in trouble and occasionally deleted the chats, according to the affidavit.
Chambers was arrested Tuesday morning during a traffic stop at Aloma Avenue and Strathy Lane, according to the affidavit. During the arrest, deputies remarked that Chambers allegedly told them he works at John Craig Clothiers in Winter Park and currently lives with his wife and two children.
We spoke with several business owners in Winter Park who knew Chambers and said, off camera, that they were shocked.
WESH 2 News previously reported on Chambers in 2013 when he was head of Exodus International, a now-defunct Orlando-based Christian ministry that advocated and practiced so-called conversion therapy. Chambers apologized to the gay community "for years of undue suffering and judgment at the hands of the organization and the church as a whole," announcing the organization would shut down.
Further, the Park Avenue District acknowledged in a statement that Chambers served in a volunteer board leadership role, adding he was suspended from the board pending further review after the sheriff's office's announcement Tuesday.
"The Park Avenue District is aware of the matter involving Alan Chambers, who served in a volunteer Board leadership role. This matter is unrelated to the organization or its operations," the statement reads. "Following formal action by the Board of Directors, Mr. Chambers has been suspended from the Board pending further review. Out of respect for the legal process, the organization will not provide additional comment at this time. Our focus remains on supporting the Park Avenue community, local businesses, and ongoing district initiatives."
A judge set his bond at $15,000 and prohibited him from having any contact with individuals under the age of 18.
Chambers was also ordered not to use social media. He was granted online access for work only.
Anyone with information about any additional victims should call the agency's non-emergency line at 407-836-4357, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said on social media.
