HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — Deputies arrested a man for allegedly traveling to Hernando County to engage in sexual activities with a 14-year-old.

Bradley Williams, 49, is a resident of Ocala. According to the Hernando County Sheriff's Office (HCSO), Williams was messaging an undercover officer who was acting as a 14-year-old boy. Williams engaged with the officer in a sexually explicit conversation for about six weeks.

HCSO said that deputies questioned Williams, and he admitted to engaging in the conversations and making arrangements to meet with what he thought was a teen to engage in sexual acts.

Williams was arrested and charged with traveling to meet a minor, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. Williams has bonded out of jail, according to HCSO.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
