JACOBS FEELS "BULLET PROOF"
The "CIVILIZED LIFE" have a problem with Porter's protege Jacobs, in that he refuses to cut bait wih Porter and the cult at Westcoast, who still beleive, as Jacobs dos that Porter is the "Hand of God." Jacobs feels "bullet proof" with Leach and her cronies at the Westcoast Thetare, and the liberal nut cases at the Sarasota Herald Tribune in calling Jacobs out in his ties to Porter.

JUDGE KRUG SENTENCED PORTER FOR SEXUALLY BATTERING CHILDREN AS JACOBS DISHONORS THE VICTIM’S PORTER RAPED AND MOLESTED BY PRAISING PORTER AS A MAN OF GOD AND A COMMUNITY LEADER
On 9/23/2022 JudgeThomas Krug sentenced self-appointed Bishop Porter to two consecutive life sentences in prison for sexual molesting children under-12 years of age.
Judge Krug stating in sentencing Porter, “What I’m convinced of, you used a robe, a position taking the authority of God ...and that you used that holy position to sexually batter children."DIT
DESPITE KRUG'S ASSESSMENT-JACOBS EMAILS JUDGE KRUG ASKING FOR MERCY AND LENIENCY FOR CHILD MOLESTER AND RAPIST
What is incredible and scandalous is that Jacobs on 7/18/22, who was Porter's protege for over 30 years and taught at the Westcoast School where Porter groomed children for his sexual pleasure and traveled with Porter texted Judge Krug before sentencing this monster predator stating, "to take him (Porter) out of society will be a great determent to his work in ministry and his impact on our community and around the world."
Jacobs who identifies himself as the founder and artistic director of "one of Sarasota's premier theater companies, the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe "pleads for mercy
and leniency for Mr. Porter." Jacobs calls the convicted child molester and rapist a, "great community leader in the state of Florida and has empowered thousands all over the world."
JACOBS ASKED FOR MERCY FOR HIS "MAN OF GOD AND RABBI" WHO IS MOLESTING AND RAPING CHILDREN ALL OVER THE WORLD
Jacobs in stating "Porter empowered thousands all over the world" ---Jacobs failed to mention that according to court documents, Porter molested and raped Black children not only in his Downtown Sarasota Church/School, in his multimillion-dollar home in the Indian Beach/ Sapphire Shores neighborhood, but also in Tucson, Arizona; Anderson; South Carolina; San Diego, California; Savannah, Georgia; Gastonia, North Carolina; Rome, Italy and in Africa, as he traveled and toured with a musical ensemble and troupe of children.EDI
Local States Attorney Ed Brodsky
HOW IS IT THE LOCAL LIBERAL SOCIAL ELITE ESTABLISHMENT ARE PUMPING $MILLIONS INTO THE PROTEGE OF PORTER JACOBS WHO ASKED FOR MERCY AND
LENIENCY FOR PORTER DESPITE STATES ATTORNEY'S FOLLOWING ASSESSMENT OF PORTER
After Porter's arrest, local States Attorney Ed Brodsky issued this statement:
"In 1990 and 2000-2001, law enforcement conducted separate criminal investigations into defendant's sexual abusing children. During those investigations, 30 youths provided statements to law enforcement disclosing they were sexually abused by the defendant (Porter) in the past. These individuals ranging from young teenagers to young adults when the sexual abuse occurred described the abuse taking place at many locations including the defendant's inner office at the West Coast Center for Human Development. Sworn statements by Porter's victims stated, 'that the (Porter) sexual batteries would occur before or after church services or during school hours.'"
THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF WESTCOAST THEATER "MAN OF GOD" PORTER MOLESTED CHILDREN 3-4 TIIMES A WEEK
It is further alleged in sworn statements, "These sexual batteries would occur 3-4 times a week often inside Porter's inner office." The office was in Porter's Church and School in Downtown Sarasota. Porter told the accuser that if the accuser told anyone, that no one would believe him, including the police, and that he depended on the "Bishop" for food
and shelter.
Local Assistant States Attorney Ryan FelIx who prosecuted and convicted Porter
JACOBS CALLED PORTER"A GREAT COMMUNITY LEADER" DESPITE ASST. STATES ATTORNEY OPINION OF PORTER
Furthermore, Assistant State's Attorney Ryan Felix in denying Porter bail, Felix states, "In all, law enforcement investigations spanning 30 years produced statements from dozens that have been sexually abused by the defendant. These students support the fact that defendant Porter has sexually abused them for decades."
DURING THOSE YEARS PORTER WAS JACOBS'S " MAN OF GOD AND RABBI"
AND ON AND ON IT WENT AT WESTCOAST AS JACOBS SAW, HEARD OR SPOKE NO EVIL AS JACOBS RABBI MOLESTED A 7-YEAR OLD FROM HIS SCHOOL
What is totally disgusting is that millions of dollars from the liberal social elite of Sarasota are pouring into Jacobs Westcoast Theatre, while not a word from Jacobs as in a Sarasota County Courthouse it is testified in shocking details how Jacobs "Man of God" sexually molested and raped children at Porter's Downtown Church, School and beyond.
GRAPHIC EXAMPLES AT PORTER'S TRIAL OF PORTER SEXUAL MOLESTATION OF CHILDREN AND TO THIS DAY JACOBS CONTINUES TO SAY NOT A WORD IN PRAYER OR CONDOLENCES FOR THE PAIN AND SUFFERING TO THE CHILDREN HIS 30 YEAR MENTOR MOLESTED AND RAPED
A 40-year-old former member of Porter's Westcoast Church and School of Human Development came before the court and stated he was first molested by Porter at age 7.
The victim siblings were in attendance to offer support for their brother with their tears
accompanying his testimony. His brother had to leave the courtroom unable to
handle his emotions, as he heard once again how his 7-year brother was molested
by Porter from age 7 to 12.
The victim stated the molestation started when Porter would put him on his knees and forced the victim face into Porter’s groin area at age 7. At age 9 Porter would pin him
down and began stroking his penis. Oral and anal sex would follow Porter's
manipulation.
The victim stated on numerous occasions, Porter would have him called down from Porter's school on the second floor to his inner office. Porter would undress and place the victim on his knees and have him perform oral sex on him.
Once when Porter was performing oral sex on the victim, the alleged victim was reprimanded for protesting
JACOBS "MAN OF GOD" HAD ORAL SEX FROM A 12-YEAR-OLD
Being penetrated, Porter then proceeded to masturbate himself with the victim being told to clean up. The alleged victim was then asked to pray for forgiveness from God for the evil act.
Another victim was a 49-year-old male, who testified that Porter drove in a limousine down a dirt road in Lake County, Florida to bring him, as a 12-year-old boy back to Sarasota. Porter desired to bring the young boy to live in Porter's Westcoast church and attend Porter's Westcoast School in Sarasota.
Porter had met the young boy when he came to Porter's Westcoast Church for a revival with fellow members from a church in Lake County. The young boy caught Porter's attention when he was brought on stage at the revival, as being "witnessed" to
have found God.
When Porter found out the young boy lived alone with his aunt in Lake County, Porter made the trip to Lake County after the child returned home.
Porter persuaded the aunt, who had difficulties disciplining the 12-year-old that the child would find a home and school in Sarasota under Porter and other church members at Westcoast.
It was just weeks after arriving in Sarasota and taking up residence in an apartment at the Westcoast church that Porter started performing oral and anal sex on the young
boy. After one alleged anal sex attack, the young boy stated he could not leave the apartment for 2-3 days after the attack.
The alleged victim stated on a trip with Porter to Tallahassee in Porter's limousine, Porter had him give him oral sex.
The sexual abuse went on for 7-8 months according to the victim. The victim ran away from the church 3-4 times, but was always brought back by Westcoast members.
JACOBS "COMMUNITY LEADER" PORTER USED HIS INNER OFFICE AT WESTCOAST TO ABUSE CHILDREN
PORTER HAD SEX WITH WATKINS "WHENVER HE SUMMONED HIM"
Another victim, who was the author of the Art of Manipulation--My Survival of Molestation stated, "That he was groomed from an infant to praise Porter---The Place of God was where you were grommed and sexual abused before or after church services or during school hours.
Watkins was interviewed by the SPD and said the sexual abuse started when he was 15 and lasted until he was 21. The abuse took place in the "Inner Office", which was described as an internal structure of Porter's church in Downtown Sarasota. Watkins told police the abuse included masturbation and other sexual acts.
Watkins stated he was groomed by Porter the first day his mother, who was a single parent from Palmetto got involved with Porter.
Watkins stated from the very beginning in the relationship, Porter was described as the ultimate hand of God with Porter in the hand of God.
Watkins from an early age was a Porter favorite. Porter traveled throughout the United States, Europe and Africa with Porter. Watkins was considered Porter's "right hand man."
Watkins alleged the first sexual contact he had with Porter was at hotel room in Daytona Beach at age 15 when Porter started kissing him. Watkins then alleged that Porter "went down on him with oral sex and masturbation."
The sexual molestation would continue at the Westcoast Church's inner office or as Watkins stated, "Whenever Porter would summon him."
Watkins stated Porter was his idol and he revered Porter. Watkins felt Porter protected him. Watkins stated he was seen to be privileged to be next to God in his relationship to
Porter. Watkins stated he would give sex to Porter whenever he wanted sex.
In 2001 the sexual relationship with Porter ended when Watkins began to feel enslaved by Porter. In 2008, Watkins left Sarasota for Miami to pursue a music career.
JACOBS A ELDER AT PORTER'S CHURCH SINGING AND PREACHING AT WESTCOAST
ON AND ON IT WENT AT WESTCOAST WITH CHILD MOLESTATION AS ELDER JACOBS SINGS AND PREACHES AT WESTCOAST
Another victim of Jacob "Man of God" to testify to Porter's alleged sexual molestation
was a 37-year-old man who arrived at Porter's Westcoast church by way of Panama
City and St. Petersburg, Florida.
At age 12 the victim was left at Porter church by his father after they moved to Sarasota from St.Petersburg. The father made numerous promises to take the victim with him once he got his life together. The father never returned to take the victim from the residence at Westcoast.
The victim stayed at the Westcoast church and attended the Westcoast School from age 12 to 18. Numerous times the victim alleged that he and Porter would perform
masturbation and once Poter attempted to perform anal sex on him.
As with other victims after the sex acts, they would confess their sins and ask God's forgiveness.
Marvin Hendon-Principal at Westcoast School for Human Development since 1998
PORTER VICTIM MOLESTED FROM K THROUGH 12 AT WESTCOAST SCHOOL FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AS VICTIM WOULD BE CALLED DOWN FROM SCHOOL FOR SEX
THE PRINCIPAL AT PORTER'S WESTCOAST SCHOOL FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IS STILL PRINCIPAL AT SCHOOL TODAY
Another victim was a 40-year-old man who stated he attended Porters school from K-12 where the sexual abuse continues through all those years.
The man stated he traveled and toured with Porter entertaining musically with Porter and his ensemble throughout the United States, Europe and Africa. The sexual
molestation would continue at those various locations.
The alleged victim proceeded to detail how Porter's church was a place of worship where Porter was anointed by God and was the hand of God to his followers.
The alleged victim stated as long as he could remember that he, his mother, father and sister were devoted to Porter's church. The victim stated the family would do absolutely
nothing without Bishops Porter's approval.
Thus, it was not unusual that the then 11-year-old victims parents left the young child in
Porter's care when the victim's father traveled to receive medical treatment in Pittsburgh.
While in Porter's care at his home in Sapphire Shores, Porter continued his molestation of the then child, which started at Porter' church and school at age 11.
The sexual abuse would continue through the victim's school years at Porter's church, school and at Porter multimillion dollar home in the exclusive Sapphire Shores neighborhood.
The victim detailed how Porter would have him called down from Westcoast School's upper room of the church to Porters inner office. Porter would turn up the TV and air conditioner and begin the molestation on a weekly or sometimes-daily basis.
That man, now in his 40s, detailed how Porter groomed and abused him during the years he grew up in the church.
After having sex, he stated, "Then we would put our clothes back on," the alleged victim said. "He would always pray, have us confess our faults to each other."
The victim said he was brought into a private room in the church that only Porter had a key to. Graphic descriptions were given of oral and anal sex between the two.
JACOBS SHAMFULLY DANCES/SINGS/PREACHES AT WESTCOAST CHURCH THE NIGHT OF THE DAY PORTER'S VICTIMS TESTIFIED PORTER MOLESTED THEM
As Porter's victims painfully testified to Porter sexual abuse, Jacobs shamefully and scandalously sang and pranced around on that night Porter's victims testified in a Sarasota courtroom like a stuff peacock singing and preaching that "Westcoast was
God's idea and it was a good idea."
Porter preached, "God created and established Westcoast. God sent the man of God (Porter) and he (Porter) spoke to us." Jacobs asks God "to pour You out and pour me in and I will obey Your will and I will speak Your word."
Jacobs sang and preached at the West Coast Church and School of Human Development for an hour to Porter enablers, who still believe Porter is "the hand of God."
JUDGE KRUG "DOZENS OF LIVES CRUSHED BY HIM (PORTER)" AND JACOBS SINGS AND PRAISES PORTER THE NIGHT OF THE DAY PORTER IS REVEALED THE EVIL MONSTER HE IS
The same folks who attended the trial in support of Porter that day Judge Krug stated, "Whatever Porter would say from his Holy Authority you would believe despite the dozens of lives crushed by him"--sang in praise with Jacobs of Porter that night at Westcoast.
JACOBS CALLS PORTER"A MAN OF GOD" AND "HIS RABBI" THE NIGHT PORTER'S VICTIMS TESTIFIED PORTER WAS A CHILD MOLESTER AND RAPIST
Jacobs spoke for an hour exalting of all the good Porter achieved while "ministering" at
the church and school. Jacobs called the convicted child molester of children "A Man of God" and "His Rabbi." Jacobs stated, "Every, time his mentor Porter would call that he needed him, he would come."
Jacobs in a disagraceful subtle manner, attacked the men who spoke that day in a Sarasota courtroom of how Porter molested and raped them. Not one word spoken by Jacobs that night in the Westcoast Church and School where Porter was convicted to two life terms in prison for molesting and raping children, in sorrow for those molested and raped by Porter.
Jacobs speaks how he taught at Westcoast for 12 years and witnessed how much love was given to those who attended the church and school and just walked away and threw dynamite over their shoulder, as they walked out the door.
Jacobs on this night made it clear to those in attendence and the those on the Westcoast Theatre Board that whenever Porter would call for assistance, he would be at his beckon call.
PORTER PUSHED THE PLANTATION MENTALITY DOWNTOWN AND IN SAPPHIRE SHORES
Porter before getting caught molesting and raping children he was living the good life stuffed in the corner going along to get along with the white local establishment. Porter was living the "CIVILIZED LIFE" with a $million home in the exclusive Sapphire Shores neighborhood and a Rolls Royce to go along with the Sarasota Plantation Mentality and the racial gentrification of the African American neighborhoods.
JACOBS PUSHING THE PLANTATION MENTALITY DOWNTOWN AND OUT BEYOND THE INTERSTATE
It is evil and demonic what the white cultural elite and their political and financial cronies are doing in wining and dining Jacobs, bankrolling him with his own Theatre and a $million dollar home east of U.S Interstate 75 and a late model BMW to go along to get along with the Plantation Mentality and the racial gentrification of the African American neighborhood, as he replaces Porter in the "CIVILIZED LIFE" of Sarasota.
CALLS TO LEACH AND JACOBS UNANSWERED
Numerous calls to Jacobs from the Sarasota Phoenix inquiring of his 40-year involvement with his mentor Porter have not been returned. Jacobs continues to remain silent in condemning and denouncing Porters for being convicted of grooming children for his sexual pleasure.
In addition, numerous requests of Julia Leach, who is the Executive Director of the Westcoast Black Theatre, to have Jacobs speak to the Sarasota Phoenix of his involvement with the Westcoast Church and School of Human Development under Porter’s direction have been denied.
