TAMPA, Fla. - A Department of Children & Families press secretary who was arrested on suspicion of enlisting children to make pornography could face more charges, police said Saturday. Al Zimmerman, 40, was released from a Tampa jail after posting $120,000 bail Saturday afternoon, a day after his arrest on eight felony charges of using a child in a sexual performance. Zimmerman worked for DCF - the state agency charged with protecting Florida's children - for about two years. He was fired Friday after top officials learned of accusations against him. According to an arrest report, Zimmerman offered two teens money in exchange for photographing them in sexual acts. The victims were ages 16 and 17 at the time of the crime, and at least one may have been in the care of DCF at one point, according to the report. Authorities believe some of the images date back to December 2005, the arrest report showed. Zimmerman is suspected of taking photos as recently as Friday, the report showed. At least one of the teens is from Orange County. No information was given about the other alleged victim. |

Really disgusting!
It makes my blood boil at how many of these 'officials' who are there to protect children are actually abusing their position and trust, and in turn they become the inflictor/abuser.
It's a real shame that when it comes down to it, you really can't trust anyone.
