Escambia Man Gets Life In Prison For Molesting Child
October 21, 2022
An Escambia County man was convicted Thursday and sentenced to life in prison on child sex charges.
Oscar Javier Amador was convicted of sexual battery of a victim less than 12, lewd or lascivious molestation on a victim less than 12, and four counts of sexual battery by a person in familial or custodial authority. Immediately following the verdict, Amador was sentenced by Circuit Court Judge Coleman Lee Robinson to life in prison on all counts and was designated as sexual predator.
Testimony during the trial showed Amador sexually abused a child over a period of five years, from about age 10 to 15.
“This defendant was a predator that took advantage of an innocent child that should have been able to trust him. This sentence provides some much-needed closure to the victim and their family while further protecting any other innocent children,” said Carrie Gilmer, prosecuting attorney.

Back in the 70’s and before this kind of thing got swept under the rug especially if the man was in a position of authority. To see him and others get punished makes me very happy, the ones who don’t get much time it makes me sick. I hope the children involved will be able to move on but they will need help, this is something that will affect many areas of their lives.
To the comment that stated they would never know what he did in prison? Thats not necessarily true. I promise you word travels quick and those CO’s will talk. one way or another he will either be placed in lockdown or he will end up being found somewhere on the premises dead. I guarantee.
If they find out what he did, prisoners somehow get taken care of.
Wish the guy that done that to my daughter got that but he only got 20 years time they put them away….and they wont be in gernal population in prison so no one will ever know what he done
Good. Glad to hear he’ll be gone for life.
Life? Sorry, but we should allow death penalty in cases like this.
He won’t last long in prison.
And throw away the key!
