Michael Tedder Of Century Gets 30 Years For Multiple Counts Of Child Sexual Battery
October 11, 2022
A Century man has been sentenced to 30 years in state prison for child sexual battery.
Michael Tracy Tedder, 30, was also designated as a lifetime sexual offender by Judge Jennie Kinsey after he pleaded to multiple counts of sexual battery by a person in familian authority and lewd of lascivious exhibition in the presence of a minor.
On October 20, 2021, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a local elementary school after a victim disclosed sexual abuse to a school counselor. The victim disclosed at school that she had been raped by Tedder. She stated that it hurt, and about the time she healed, he would do it again. The abuse occurred between January 1, 2020, and October 20, 2021.
During the course of the investigation, it was determined that Michael Tracy Tedder had abused additional victims.
“This defendant preyed on children that should have been able to trust him. With the sentence imposed, Mr. Tedder will no longer be able to harm innocent children,” Carrie Gilmer, prosecuting attorney, said.
When the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office went to Tedder’s home on October 20, 2021, to investigate the sexual battery allegations, deputies found Tedder and three others living in squalor with six children in two campers. The cases are continuing through the legal system for the others.
The Department of Children and Families removed the children.

Pretty sad that R Bruner is more concerned about this pathetic excuse of a human being than for the innocent child or children that have had their lives messed up by him that they will live with for the rest of their lives in some ways. He don’t deserve ac medical care or anything but death penalty. I hope he gets the same treatment he gave the children !!!!!
Bubba gonna love you.
If you support the death penalty does that make you pro choice?
@ Robert Bruner
You are the moron, maybe the prison you were in didn’t have those things. But, some prisons do have those luxuries. And I can only hope you don’t have any children or access to any because you clearly share this vile individuals thoughts. And don’t come at me because I worked in these facilities with this kind of filth so I know there are some that have these things.
@Robert Bruner
If it were one of my relatives, I’d hope they’d die twice.
This isn’t a “bad offense”. A bad offense is stealing catalytic converters, or getting face and neck tattoos.
In 30 years when he gets out he will still be younger than I am currently!!! So my point is nothing will change he will still be a predator !!!! And will go back to where he had to stop !!!!
Theres no A/C, Gyms and health care is more like deathcare in prison.Ya’ll watch too much TV. If it was your relative you still want the death penalty for every bad offense? I think not. You need to settle down and think about your words and ask God to help you direct your thoughts and channel your anger towards the greater good.
good job by the assistant state attorney .
I hope you get raped in prison every day for 30yrs !!!
They’ll put him in protective custody and he’ll be in the SHU for the rest of his life, basically solitary. Inmates won’t tolerate him once they pull his papers to see why he’s in there.
I’m thrilled this monster will spend, hopefully, the rest of his life in prison. Just my opinion that he won’t live that long. He’s a slithering slug. I also hope the rest of the family face charges. How could they not know in 2 campers? God bless those children.
30 years??? Should have been death! Now, lets all ban together and feed and provide AC, gym, and health care for this demon.
