PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — A man was arrested after he sexually battered three girls in Pinellas Park, police announced Monday morning.

The Pinellas Park Police Department said they were notified about the abuse on May 15.

Police said Jeremy Brooks, 52, engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with the three victims, who ranged in age from 12 to 18 years old, over an extended period.

Brooks knew and is related to the victims. He was arrested and charged with capital sexual battery, sexual battery - familial or custodial authority and lewd and lascivious battery.

“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.
