Charge Dropped In Sexual Battery Case
July 5, 2011
Felony charges have been dropped against a Cantonment man arrested on sexual battery charges by a U.S. Marshals Task Force.
One June 22, the U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested 25-year old Daniel Brooks, wanted by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office for sexual battery by physical force. He was taken into custody at Chili’s restaurant on Nine Mile Road.
On June 4, Brooks allegedly became enraged when his wife denied his sexual advances and used force to sexually assault her, according to a U.S. Marshal’s press release. According to Escambia County Clerk of the Court records, charges were dropped on June 30 because the victim declined to prosecute.

I’ve known Daniel for several years now and I dont believe it happened that way… Not saying that I agree with all his decisions he’s made in the time that i’ve known him, but he is a good guy… Everyone makes mistakes and hopefully they can both get past this and move on…
Hmmmmmmmmmmm you would think that the court system could still do something. The laws are there but you have to help them do the job.
Some times in the heat of the moment we do things that on reflection are not the best or wisest course of action. Only two people know what happen—maybe we should let it go at that. I know on NorthEscambia there are a lot of people who sure make a rush to judgement with out having any of the facts. Wishing them both luck—they’ll need it.
The court system is designed to wear the victim down. All in the name of protecting the abuser.
I agree with shocked…. Just because “the victim declined to prosecute” doesn’t mean the incident didn’t happen. Hope both of them can resolve their differences before something worse happens.
Notice the last statement “victim declined to prosecute…”
Unfortunately victims decline to prosecute every day in this country for many different reasons, and it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, and it doesn’t mean
it won’t happen again.
As I said the truth will always prevail. Knowing him for only a few years I can say I felt this would be the outcome wishing the best for all parties involved
