We understand the man alleged to have sexually molested a young girl at a traveling petting zoo/carnival has been arrested. Good! Yet we're sure this was not the first incident the man was involved in, nor will it be his last.
We're posting a photo of the alleged abuser before he was arrested:
Is this incident now over? It will never be over for the child who will always remember. Is it the fault of Jungle Safari or the fault of the owners of Florence Plaza where Big Lot's serves as the anchor store?
Surely the Jungle Safari show has much to answer for. We're sure they present themselves as a trustworthy bondable company. We're also sure Jungle Safari isn't the only traveling carnival with this problem. If anyone should wish to dig more deeply, animal abuse is also likely to come to light.
Thanks to the Florence Police for acting as quickly as possible. Sometimes we fail to realize that most arrests can't be made without a warrant, and that takes paperwork and locating a judge.
All we can say at this point is to remind parents to be vigilant at all times. It only takes a few minutes, even in public, for a predator to strike.
It looks as though someone has already knocked his teeth out?
ReplyDeleteHe has not been arrested. I filed a complaint today about what he did to my daughter and police assured me they cannot do anything to him. They are just watching him. He is there right now. I've contacted news and radio. To see if they can help get him away from other little girls.
ReplyDeleteAccording to WHNT News, he has been arrested. https://www.facebook.com/whntnews19/posts/10153597702616045?fref=nf

ReplyDeleteQuick to report fales news. Facts is something shoalanda needs before making post or articles. 3 times I've visited this site 3 times the info has been wrong
ReplyDeleteAnd you can be sure we will never take a statement from a Rogersville official at face value again. Sorry for your bad experience here, Chad, but most of our readers actually enjoy our blog.
DeleteNo he has NOT been arrested. It was as stated in a previous post a part has confronted him and he was cuffed and gave a strong talking to and was told that man has rights. Seems to be MORE RIGHTS than the victims!
ReplyDeleteFLORENCE, AL- Florence Police Detectives have arrested Daryl V. Raymond, Jr, 48, of Stockholm, Maine, following reports alleging that he abused two (2) children at a traveling petting zoo in Florence.
ReplyDeleteFlorence Police were notified of the incident yesterday as detectives were investigating the murder of Charles Hugh Perkins.
Following the conclusion of that case a second victim came forward and was interviewed by detectives.
Raymond, who is an employee of Jungle Safari, was taken into custody without incident this morning. He was interviewed by detectives and subsequently arrested.
He is charged with two (2) counts of Sexual Abuse of a Child under the Age of Twelve, a Class B Felony.
Raymond is currently being held in the Lauderdale County Detention Center. No bond has been set.
*All Suspects Are Presumed Innocent Until Proven Guilty*
The owner/operator of the Petting Zoo has advised Chief Ron Tyler that he will be closing the petting zoo here in Florence and preparing to move on early to his next location.

According to a news article, the man pictured above was arrested. He's an "alledged" predator though, until proven guilty in a court of law--and may justice prevail. If the alledged child molestor has a criminal record of such behavior, he should have to register as a sex offender. I don't believe sex offenders can cross state lines or work with children. If this is the case, the company may be liable as well.
ReplyDeleteIt stated the company and Florence check his records and found not documents on sexual or pedifile charges!! I also heard the owner was the one who contacted Florence police!! The company I felt did the right thing reported the crime!!! He protected his company or he would of never called 911 to report this man!! Hats of to the owner for protected children and reporting this situation!! My heart and prayers go out to the family for the children that were affected by this man and pray the predator gets what he deserves!!! Heart breaking this can happen to a child, hopefully he is behind bars!!!
DeleteUh, Florence PD made an arrest and it was this guy. Just read about it on a news article on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteHe's been arrested!
