Escambia Man Gets 60 Years For Fathering Child With Underage Teen
June 3, 2012
An Escambia County man has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for abusing and fathering a child with an underage family member.
Tony Levester Scott was convicted of sexual battery while in position of familial or custodial authority. Following the verdict, Judge Paul Rasmussen immediately sentenced Scott to 60 years in state prison as a habitual felony offender with 30 years to be served as a prison releasee reoffender. He was also designated as a sexual predator.
During the fall of 2010, Scott was sexually abusing his daughter’s half-sister on weekend visitations, according to State Attorney Bill Eddins. The victim, who was under 18 years of age, ended up pregnant and gave birth. A paternity test was conducted by Florida Department of Law Enforcement which established Scott as the father within a 99.99% probability.
Scott was given the enhanced sentence based on his extensive prior record and his recent release from prison in June 2010. In 1985, Scott was sentenced to 15 years state prison
for sexual battery.

They should publish the names of the person/ persons responciple for releasing these hardened criminals back into society. Then, we could vote them out of office come election time. Better yet, bring criminal charges against them for allowing a threat to society to walk freely among us. It’s time we held our officials feet to the fire and hold them accountable! If we performed our duties no better than they do, we would lose our job!
Wow… what a complete freak. As taxpayers, we all have to foot the bill for this guy. There are absolutely no winners here.
Sixty years is way to light for him.He should get the death penalty.His victim will pay for his actions the rest of her life,as will the child he fatheres.Our whole system needs to be revamped.Our juducial sysytem is neither just or fair unless you are the criminal.
They should hang him
REGARDING:
“they mostly just hurt little girls and it’s still
a mans world .”
Every man had a mother.
Every girl had a father (although many wimpy ones high-tailed it out of there when hearing the news).
The main reason such offenders continue to walk among us is because the Supreme Court said the death penalty was not justified unless offenders killed actual bodies and because so many have the concept of “he paid his debt to society so let him play with your daughter now that he’s out”.
Personally I believe he should be kept in a state of suspended animation in liquid nitrogen until such time as he can be revived as a non-offender (or the machinery breaks).
David considering prejudice against all men
and cold cures
Considering this verdict it makes me think what that other creep from Barth will get… if no extensive record will he just get a slap on the wrist? Lord I hope not, let him be put away for just as long.
In 1985, Scott was sentenced to 15 years state prison
for sexual battery.
So we already knew this guy had sexual problems and would do what he
wanted when he wanted to whom he may want, yet we let him out and
see what he does. Sexual Preditors can not be FIXED, WHY do we ever
let them out. OH that’s right, they mostly just hurt little girls and it’s still
a mans world .
CONSIDERING:
“Scott was given the enhanced sentence based on his extensive prior record ”
About 27 or 28 individual times with multiple charges, despite much time out of commission at state expense. He DOES seem determined to stay in trouble.
David for better people
