TAMPA, Fla. — The Department of Justice (DOJ) said 40-year-old Dontae D. Burton was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking a minor and the production of child sex abuse material.

Court documents showed Burton arranged commercial sexual activity for two minors, ages 16 and 17, by creating and posting ads for them on adult escort websites.

The DOJ said a jury found him guilty in January 2025.

“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.
