Child Molestation Suspect Nabbed At Airport

November 6, 2011

The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force and the Pensacola Police arrested a Bay County man wanted on numerous charges of child molestation as he walked off a plane at Pensacola Airport.

John Claude Chambers, 39, was arrested by task force members from the FDLE, State Attorney’s Office and Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office without incident and was escorted from the rear stairs of the jet way by Pensacola Police and placed into a patrol car. Chambers is wanted by the Bay County Sheriff’s Office for allegedly molesting two girls, one 11 years old the other 12, reportedly over the past year. Chambers is being charged with five counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child less than 12, lewd and lascivious molestation and sexual battery on a child.

According to investigators from Bay County, Chambers has been molesting the girls for the past year. Allegedly, Chambers was recently confronted by the mother of the two girls and admitted to the allegations. However, Chambers supposedly blamed the children and then moved to Michigan to live with his mother.

Two days ago the Bay County Sheriff’s Office requested the assistance of the Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force, Panama City Division who then contacted the Task Force in Pensacola. The investigation revealed that Chambers was supposed to fly into Pensacola Airport from Flint, MI, Friday night.Chambers was then due to rent a car and drive to his National Guard base in Dothan, AL. Chambers was taken to the Escambia County Jail where he was held without bond.

    You people have no idea what the real story is. You should consider that there are always two sides of a story. Casting judgements about another before you know the truth is the same as assuming. And we know what assuming does. You all go ahead and cast your stones, just remember- it’s so easy to have a glass house break. All it takes is a lie.

    The Judgement of man, then the Judgement of the Lord. I think these type of offenders should be offered pre trial termination.

    Being in that same situation at the age of 10….I can tell you back in 1998 the justice system did their job. My father is now serving (2) life sentences for the same charges. So I just pray that these two young girls get some counseling before they get any older and start to heal now. I was 26 before my past came out because my mother chose to protect my father. If it wasn’t for my husband of 15 years now I would still be stuck not knowing any different.
