Zimmerman accused of sending image from homemade sex video to girlfriend’s daughter

[Galraedia]

Source: Raw Story

In the days following his acquittal on murder and manslaughter charges, George Zimmerman was alone, depressed and obsessed with guns, his girlfriend said.

Samantha Scheibe told WKMG-TV that she began her relationship with Zimmerman, who fatally shot unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin during a February 2012 encounter, around the same time his wife filed for divorce and accused him of threatening her with a gun.

Scheibe said her relationship with Zimmerman quickly unraveled due to his depression and she began to fear him, although she told the station that she stayed with him because she believed she could help.

She demanded that he seek professional help late last month, and Scheibe said Zimmerman moved all of her furniture, clothes and food from her home.

1. WWWHHHHYYYYYYYYY

do people make sex tapes?! Seriously, WHY?! I've never understood this. Like, if you make a video, do you actually get off on watching yourself? I'd be squirming -- "oh, no, NO! Turn it off!!"

[derby378]

6. Maybe he wants to break into porn?

Watching his own sex tapes while munching on Cheetos and critiquing his own body posture and facial expressions to see if he can do it better the next time. That said, ew.

[ReRe]

41. .

[winter is coming]

61. +1. I really don't want to know how ridiculous I look. n/t

[niyad]

82. I am reminded of an old alan king routine. he was talking about the fad for mirrors in the ceilings

and canopies of beds, and said something like "why? the last thing I want to see when making love is the image of some fat, old, naked guy doing it".

[perdita9]

2. American women -- stop sleeping with George Zimmerman!

This guy is bad news. Stay away from him.

[MADem]

43. Don't allow that little turd to victimize the women of other nations, now!!!

He's a real prize, ain't that right, ladies?

[davidpdx]

59. This guy should not have children

The spawn of Zimmerman.

[geardaddy]

3. Stay classy, GeeZee

[LiberalEsto]

4. I do not understand why any relatively sane woman

would get involved with a guy like this, especially knowing his past history.
Unless the woman's self esteem is so low that they'll put up with almost anything.

[freshwest]

25. She thought she could 'help' him, 'love conquers all' notion. Both men and women fall prey to this.

It's also called trying to 'save' someone from themselves. It does not work, it only enables the person to keep on being destructive.

I agree, in this woman, if not low self-esteem, and lack of valuing one's own life. He's a manipulator, I'm sure she didn't have the full story.

Such characters carry a list of those who they say wronged them and act as if they are still seeking that one person to be better than the bad people they've come up with so far. The problem is, they are what they project, most of the time, and create havoc with whoever tries to help.

And then that person will be added to the list. A person with some experience in this runs the other way when a person starts off with a list of other people they blame for their troubles.

Because the person isn't being honest with themselves and won't be honest with others, either. Very dangerous person to get involved with physically, financially, or any way.

[ReRe]

49. That's right....

.... I believe in compassion, but people seriously need to check out the people who pull the sad story out as soon as you meet them and show them as little as the human kindness of a smile. GZ is a psychopath. And he preyed upon this woman, as she seemed needy to him in some way. Maybe it's her size, or maybe it's her past experiences. Perhaps it's because it seemed she has estranged from her family, and it appeared to him he could get away with anything with her and nobody would come running to help her. What he didn't bargain for was the fact that she is NOT what he figured her as. I hope to God she sticks with this and puts him in jail for the full 3 years if not more. It all hinges on her. I'm sure the police investigator has informed her that the defense will drag her through the mud. But she also knows that if she doesn't withstand the pressure and abandons her charges against him, that he will find her and kill her and her child. That man is a monster and needs a vacation in the big house, for sure.

[Incitatus]

55. He's not getting a crack legal team this time.

I doubt his public defender will be anywhere near as helpful.

[ReRe]

58. Let's hope that lady holds tight...

... many many people all over this country will be supporting her in spirit.

[JustAnotherGen]

72. Yeppers

She's a classic case of co-dependency. Not being snarky - but she needs to read Why Does He Do That and Co-Dependent No More so she never ever passes this way with a man like this again.

[freshwest]

87. There was another book, I think the title of it was...

'Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them.'

Likely similar themes, although I didn't read it, just reviews of it.

[IrishAyes]

28. Well, apparently Manson's engaged now.

[dlwickham]

36. or they want the publicity that comes along with it

everyone wants their 15 minutes!

[PADemD]

5. See comments at link

analysis by 14truth

good read

[Blue Owl]

7. Ewwwww...

[indepat]

8. Why can't they just get off Zimmie's back: surely he's done nothing illegal under Florida

law since he, while packing heat, fatally wounded an unarmed child, an act obviously hunky-dore under Florida law in view of his acquittal from wrongdoing.

[cosmicone]

48. Don't make the kid appear so innocent

he was, after all, wearing a hoodie and was in possession of skittles with an intent to distribute ...

[jmowreader]

86. Marshawn Lynch is also a black kid with a hoodie in possession of Skittles

GZ probably wouldn't have tried tangling with him. They call him Beast Mode for a reason...I can't count the number of times I've put a picture of Marshawn Lynch making a touchdown with members of the other team dangling from his belt.

[Ian David]

10. Thank you for your concern. n/t

[riverwalker]

11. even if deleted

they can recover it. I think sending pornographic material to a 9 year old violates all sorts of laws, even in Florida.

I think Samantha knows everything about Zimmerman, she has known him since High School. I hope her maternal instincts take over now that he has threatened her daughter through intimidation and she sings like a freakin' canary

[Blue_Tires]

35. I was wondering when you'd show up...Welcome back!!

In some strange way, I must confess that I've missed you (just a little...)

[Gothmog]

12. Sending the video may be a crime in Florida

This is from the article in the OP

Scheibe said their relationship was volatile, and her mother told WKMG that Zimmerman sent a still image from a sexually explicit video of himself and Scheibe to Scheibe’s daughter.


“He’s now threatened her in writing and even sent a portion of the video to her baby girl,” Mason told WKMG in a text message.

Neither the contents of the image and the girl’s age could be confirmed, but it’s illegal under Florida law to transmit sexually explicit material to minors.

[riverwalker]

13. she is 9 or 10

brother Robert Jr. and his RW racist fans are frantically looking for ways to discredit the girlfriend and her mother, saying it was a set up, etc. They posted the little girls Facebook screen grab, so I am guessing her age. So far all the teabagger cheeto commandos have dug up is an eviction notice filed against the mom.

[Gothmog]

20. Zimmerman is really a sick person

If this story is true, then Zimmerman committed a serious crime and is a sick person

[kelly1mm]

24. Don't you have to be 13 for a Facebook account? If so, then she would have to be

13+. Does NOT MAKE IT RIGHT as 13 is still a minor (and would not be right to send that to the child of one of the participants no matter the age). The fact that she had a Facebook account though seems to suggest she was 13+.

[Codeine]

30. Anyone of any age can make a Facebook page.

There's no real ability to verify age.

[kelly1mm]

34. I suppose so if they are OK lying. Anyway, after further reading is looks like the still was not

showing a sex act or anyone nude. While the still came from a sex tape, there was no sex portrayed on the still picture. Still pretty creepy for sure!

I am wondering though why would she tell anyone she made a sex tape with GZ? If the still is not porn, no legal problem for him (makes him look bad for being a asshat, not that he could look much worse) but makes her look bad as well, IMO.

[Shrike47]

40. Mom is 27. 13 would be unlikely and older more unlikely.

[kelly1mm]

42. I just checked and you have to check a box certifying that you are 13+ when opening

a facebook account. However, as was pointed out above, there is no verification process so, if you are cool with lying, anyone at any age could have an account so you are probably right - lees than 13. However, the image, while from a sex tape, was non-sexual (apparently) so no legal problem sending it to a minor.

Still shows GZ is an asshat!

[MADem]

45. I know tons of children who are under 13 who have fb accounts--they're relatives' kids,

and they're seven and up, for the most part. Their parents monitor their use like hawks. Is it "illegal?" Sure, but the account passwords are held by both the parent and child, the privacy settings are extreme, and .... it happens!

That said, I would regard that image as a THREAT--a suggestion that there was more coming where that came from.

[kelly1mm]

52. Definitely a threat (possibly more to the mom as in 'hey, want your kid to see the rest?'.

I don't think it is 'illegal' to lie to facebook! lol!

But if the image is not pornographic, why in hell would you tell the media that you a) made a sex tape and b) made it with GZ? Yuck!

[MADem]

54. Exactly--a threat that he'll expose the child to the sordid details.

I think the reason she revealed that tidbit to the media might have something to do with the likelihood that she will never be mistaken for a Rhodes Scholar, that she's not the brightest bulb on the tree.

Then again, young people today are into taking pics of themselves--"selfies" and videos (I suppose their parents with their video cameras recording every fart and burp from infancy have sort of desensitized them to media exposure) and it seems that they don't mind/aren't embarrassed by that "sex tape" nonsense--it's become a rite of passage. After all, didn't that Kardashian reality-show headliner become famous through a sex tape? And didn't Paris Hilton do the same thing?

So I think that young people don't look at it as the abjectly humiliating sort of thing that anyone who graduated from university "B.C." (before computers) might see it as.

[Stardust]

85. Where did you hear that the image was non-sexual? nt

[Dopers_Greed]

14. Classy guy

Does this mean he'll have to register as a sex offender if convicted of sending that image?

[grasswire]

15. UGHHHHH

He sent a sex picture of himself and her mother to the child!!!

DISGUSTING PERV.

Prolly molested the child at some point, too.

[JustAnotherGen]

73. I hate to say it

But but there is the possibility . . . it goes to his cousin sharing her story of being molested by Zimpig and how she was basically cowered into submission by her entire family. Sexual Predators never change. It's hard wired into them.

[In_The_Wind]

79. IMO: If he hasn't already he was leading up to it.

[AlbertCat]

16. Way to go...Zimmy!

That'll show HER!

[Gin]

17. So...no mention of being pregnant with his baby? Twisted people...the whole cast of characters.

[Galraedia]

22. That's his wife. This is his girlfriend.

[Botany]

19. This is not gonna end up well for the Z-man.

He is gonna wound up in a tough prison (protective custody) with a nice % of the
general population looking to do him wrong and or dead by either his own hand or
by somebody else and that man or woman might very well be in law enforcement.

Sending sex tapes of a mother to that mother's child is the act of really f***ing
twisted mind that is not long for the free world. I wonder what kind of extra charges
George will face for that stunt?




Game over George and you know it too .... look at you sweat you piece of shit.

[DonCoquixote]

65. even if this guy was named john smith

and never ever fired a gun,
sending porn to minors is not only a way to get locked up in Florida
it can also be federal thanks to internet laws

and...
it makes you the target in prison.

[kestrel91316]

21. He sent homemade porn to a minor???

Bad move, dude. NOW you're toast.

[Botany]

26. I don't care if the judge that catches this case is a man or woman, straight or gay, white or ..

of color, a republican or a democrat, old or young that judge is gonna light him up a new ass
if this turns out to be true ...... George might be back in jail PDQ.

He could get 5 years on this or these charges alone.

[Plucketeer]

23. We can debate this point and that, ad nauseum

The REAL question is WHY did this woman hook up with Zimmerman in the first place? Is she more a victim of Zimmerman or herself???

It's like looking at an airplane with parts coming loose and deciding to fly on it anyway. THEN getting all pissed at the owner/pilot when it crashes!

[niyad]

39. in reading the article, she dated him before he married, and they continued to be friends even

throughout his marriage (and, if I am reading correctly, their affair began before he murdered trayvon) according to her, he is just the sweetest, most wonderful, caring, helpful person in the whole world (would love to know what kind of drugs she is using!)

[Plucketeer]

60. I won't argue the history

but after he'd shot another human being - she accepts him into her home - her bed....... SHE needs counseling at least as bad as she thought he did.

[nyquil_man]

63. Attraction can be an effed-up thing.

Richard Ramirez (aka the Night Stalker) got married while awaiting execution.

[freshwest]

27. After abusing his rights under the 2nd, he abuses the 1st. Pretty common, and not about 'liberty.'

More like a 'libertine' who is all about self-gratification.

[Monk06]

29. Freepers are finally bailing on GZ. So we know where they draw the line. Which is good sorta n/t

[arcane1]

31. I'm curious, yet afraid, to ask what they are saying about him.

[Monk06]

56. They say a number of things..........

That say he had their sympathy but now he needs to get on with his life.

That he should stay away from women because Obama and Holder are out to get him and women see the opportunity to make some money from his notoriety.

They say he has PTSD from the stress of illegal incarceration and media attention and libtard death threats.

But ultimately they think he is a great guy who makes bad life style choices and is being victimized by "Holder's People" and the "Marxist Muslin" in the "White Hut"

[freshwest]

57. They're okay with sending that stuff to a minor?

As far as the rest of the ODS and the misogny is right on course for them. TIA if you have time to answer.

[Monk06]

62. It's all lies. Part of an ingenious plot by Holder and Obama to frame an innocent man.

[freshwest]

64. And water is still wet over there. Thanks.

[Hoyt]

32. The good thing about all this, Trayvon just might get some retribution.

If ole Zimmie boy were not a cop wannabe, bigoted, stalking/bullying gun fancier who got off murdering an unarmed teenager, he wouldn't be in this mess.

[mysuzuki2]

33. He's an all around class act ain't he

[SunSeeker]

37. I seem to recall child molestation claims against Z popping up during his murder trial.

Didn't Z molest his cousin?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

47. Yup.

[JustAnotherGen]

74. His cousin

http://www.pressherald.com/news/ap/Woman-claims-Zimmerman-molested-her-as-a-child.html?pagenum=full

Her parents had a meeting with Zimmerman at a restaurant. “He sat down at the end of the booth, said, ‘I’m sorry,’ and got up and walked out,” Witness 9 said. After that, she said, Zimmerman wasn’t invited to family functions.

She never went to the police, she said, because her mother told her that cases like hers become “he said/she said” and are eventually dropped. Zimmerman’s parents “pushed it under the rug and pretended it never happened,” she said.

Why then, investigators asked, was she coming forward now?

“It’s the first time in my life I’m not afraid of him,” she said. “I know nothing can get to me. He can’t get to me. I won’t go to Target and see him there anymore.”

He even said, "I'm sorry" - i.e. acknowledged it.

[niyad]

38. if I am reading the article correctly, these two were already having an affair when this sociopath

shot and killed an unarmed minor. the two of them continued to be friends after he married what's-her-name? wonder how long the affair has actually been going on.

[Cryptoad]

46. The finnally got Al Capone on tax evasion

maybe they can get Zimmy on Child porn!

[JEFF9K]

50. Will he lose his CONSERVATIVE POSTER BOY status?

[nolabear]

51. Zimmerman is turning out rather like I expected he would.

I don't feel right about diagnosing people I've never met but a couple of pretty clear things come to mind.

And just as a woman and fellow human...eeeeewwwwwwwww. This is an all around creepfest.

[In_The_Wind]

53. Nice guy!

[avebury]

66. I would think that, IF the authorities are able to find proof

that Zimmerman DID send the explicit image to the girl's minor child, that his goose might finally be cooked. I don't see how anybody would be able to defend him if this proves true and that his luck will have finally run out.

[Myrina]

67. He took her furniture and his father-in-law's??

Remember the fracas with him moving out of the in laws house & the fight etc --- wasn't that over furniture as well?

Is he obsessive about sofas?

What a freak he is.

[TBF]

69. Battered person syndrome --

here ya go:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battered_person_syndrome


It is a real thing and it is sad. Welcome to DU

[JustAnotherGen]

75. see niyad

On Post 38 - people have affairs ya know - and sometimes you meet people prior to getting married.

[TBF]

76. Sadly I think the base of it is present in both cases -

low self esteem and this impairs their judgment. No way will I do any victim blaming. There is way too much of that in this country and I'd rather look for ways to help people than push them down harder.

[TBF]

80. Instead of judging why not think about funding mental health services?

You are blaming, judging "what type of person to get involved with", and trying to deflect blame from the actual perpetrator in this situation - Zimmerman.

I wasn't born yesterday comrade.

[niyad]

83. she did not meet him "after the fact". according to the article, she dated him before he met and

married his soon-to-be-ex wife, continued the friendship during the marriage, and the affair started before he killed trayvon. so, this man is a child-killer, a child abuser, an abuser and an adulterer.

[In_The_Wind]

71. Hello ~ moonstones

[img][/img]


Personally ... I don't even want to know someone like Zimmerman.

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

77. "...she believed she could help..."

It's weird how many young people think they are the one who will change someone from some perceived negative behavior only to discover they couldn't. This is a good example of how certain personalities seek out certain personalities over and over again. The recidivism rate is astonishing.

[riverwalker]

84. his brother deleted all his Tweets

Robert Zimmerman Jr. has a Twitter account accusing Samantha Scheibe and her mother of being liars. He had about 3 or 4 Tweets bashing them, and now they are all deleted. Interesting. Maybe this story has some legs.

[1000words]

88. Nobody becomes such a shiny, news distraction mainstay without some help.

I don't know how or why but I'm smelling a rat. Aside from this POS, that is ...

[bemildred]

89. It's been obvious for some time that Zimmermann has the right sort of friends.

Since he continues to run around loose.

It's a bit less clear how much of this is macho moronism and how much is planned info-babble of some sort.
