infoSchool bus driver accused of distributing obscene material to teen

A Florida public schools bus driver was arrested and charged with distributing obscene material to a teenage student. Jimmy Tate, 54, of Palm Bay gave a ninth grade girl a book describing graphic sexual acts between an adult man and a 3-year-old child. The book had Tates name listed as the author, as well as a picture of him. The book was self-published on Amazon. The mother contacted the school who then notified police. The sheriffs officials reviewed video footage from the bus Tate drove and confirmed the mothers report, with the additional detail that the student tried to give the book back and Tate insisted she keep it. Tate was arrested at his home and charged with distributing obscene material to a minor, which is a felony.
