State Senator Brian Nathan and Florida Political Leaders Face Questions over Decades of Sexual Predator Allegations

The accusations span decades and reveal the same disturbing pattern: political access, vulnerable young people, and alleged sexual violence. As long as that access continues, others may be at risk.

A Florida political operative accused across decades of using professional power, alcohol, political connections, and access to young people to pursue sexual encounters remains active in Florida politics.

Multiple accusations range from students under his authority at Florida State University in the 1990s to political volunteers who say they encountered him through Tampa Bay Democratic events as recently as several months ago.

Now Florida State Senator Brian Nathan and other political leaders face questions about whether they turned a blind eye to – and possibly enabled – an accused predator.

The Pattern of Alleged Assault

College students. A disturbing incident with the Boy Scouts. Democratic political volunteers. Different decades. The same accused operative.

Why is someone facing accusations this serious still welcomed at high-dollar galas instead of facing an independent investigation?

The Promise and the Betrayal

Before he was elected, Brian Nathan personally met with one of the survivors. He vowed to help expose what was happening. Instead he hasn’t said a word.

After his election, Senator Nathan accepted support from an organization receiving donations from the accused predator. Within weeks, he co-hosted an event where that same accused predator was welcomed as a guest.

What happened to stop Senator Brian Nathan from speaking up on behalf of the survivors? Who influenced his decision?

The Money and the Access

Multiple survivors say they encountered the accused predator through Tampa Bay Democratic events. He gave tens of thousands of dollars to their organizations. Those organizations continue to welcome him.

What did tens of thousands of dollars buy? If political events introduced him to potential victims, why did not one stop him from attending?

This is about whether a man voters trusted and a party establishment that people are counting on not only looked the other way when people were coming to them for help, but instead profited from that decision.
