Worth County, GA — In June, violated children and furious parents filed a massive lawsuit after the Worth County Sheriff’s office conducted an illegal search of 900 students, sexually abusing multiple children in the process. Now, after nearly half a year, a grand jury has finally indicted the people responsible for this heinous deprivation of rights.
A south Georgia grand jury indicted Worth County Sheriff Jeff Hobby on Tuesday for sexual battery, false imprisonment and violation of oath of office after he ordered a school-wide search of hundreds of high school students. Deputies allegedly touched girls vaginas and breasts and groped boys in their groin area during the search at the Worth County High School April 14, reports RARE.
Two of Hobby’s deputies were also indicted this week in connection with the case.
Norman Crowe Jr., Hobby’s attorney claims the sheriff is innocent and conducted no searches.
“The sheriff’s position is that he’s not guilty,” Crowe said. “He’s committed no crime.”
As the Free Thought Project previously reported, an Atlanta attorney is now representing multiple students who were subjected to invasive and outright horrifying body searches during a mass — and warrantless — search for drugs at a South Georgia high school. Attorney Mark Begnaud, who filed the class-action lawsuit, called out the sheriff for conducting “900 illegal, suspicionless searches.”
“This was a textbook definition of overreach,” said Begnaud. “They pulled 900 students out of class. They did full, hands-on body searches.”
To highlight the sheer unnecessary police state tactics of the tyrannical Worth County Sheriff Jeff Hobby and his deputies — not a single bit of contraband was found.
As the Daily Report notes, Begnaud said the suit seeks certification as a class action on behalf of every student who was searched. It also asks for unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as a declaratory judgment that a law enforcement officer violates a student’s constitutional rights when he conducts a body search absent either voluntary consent or an individualized suspicion that the student has broken the law. The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams.
On April 14, when the students of Worth County High School returned from spring break, they arrived at school to find a police state had taken over. The sheriff and his deputies — with no probable cause — detained and illegally searched every single child in the school, all 900 of them. More than 40 cops from five other law enforcement agencies participated in the raid — a handful of those cops were apparently sexual predators.
When kids went home that day to tell their parents what happened, naturally, they were furious as it is a gross violation of the children’s 4th Amendment rights.
“It’s essentially a fourth amendment violation,” said Begnaud. “It’s 900 illegal searches, suspicion-less pat downs, suspicion-less searches.”
Naturally, Sheriff Jeff Hobby is standing by this rights violation on a massive scale, noting that as long as a school administrator was present, the search of the children was legal.
Apparently, in the sheriff’s mind, school administrators can usurp the constitutional rights of children in favor of unlawful police searches.
But school officials and the student rule book disagree.
In the student handbook, it says school officials may search a student only if there is reasonable suspicion the student has an illegal item.
As WALB reported at that time, Worth County Schools attorney Tommy Coleman said in order for the Sheriff’s office to search any students, they’d had to have reason to believe there was some kind of criminal activity or the student had possession of contraband or drugs.
“If you don’t have that then this search would violate an individual’s rights,” said Coleman. “[It] violates the constitutional right and enforcing them the right against unreasonable search and seizures.”
Interim Worth County Superintendent Lawrence Walters said he understands parents concerns about the drug search at Worth County High school on Friday, according to WALB.
“I’ve never been involved with anything like that ever in the past 21 years and I don’t condone it,” said Walters.
Walters said he was notified that there was be a search but pointed out that he did not give permission nor did he approve the mass groping of children.
“We did not give permission but they didn’t ask for permission, he just said, the sheriff, that he was going to do it after spring break,” said Walters.
“Under no circumstances did we approve touching any students,” explained Walters.
Many of the charges faced by the sheriff and his deputies stem from the fact that several students complained that they got far more than just a pat down.
According to the complaint,
Defendants’ searches of students were intrusive, performed in an aggressive manner, and done in full view of other students. For example: a) Deputies ordered students to stand facing the wall with their hands and legs spread wide apart; b) Deputies touched and manipulated students’ breasts and genitals; c) Deputies inserted fingers inside girls’ bras, and pulled up girls’ bras, touching and partially exposing their bare breasts. d) Deputies touched girls’ underwear by placing hands inside the waistbands of their pants or reaching up their dresses; e) Deputies touched girls’ vaginal areas through their underwear; f) Deputies cupped or groped boys’ genitals and touched their buttocks through their pants. 8. Defendants had no warrant or other authority to perform a mass search on hundreds of public school children.
When multiple students complained about being groped by at least one sicko deputy, Sheriff Hobby ensured parents and school officials that “corrective action was taken to make sure the behavior will not be repeated.” However, it took six months and a grand jury to do that, no thanks to Hobby.
“I’m okay with them doing the search, if it was done appropriately like the school has done in the past,” said father of two Jonathan Luke. “But when they put their hands on my son, that’s crossing the line.”
Aside from not finding a single bit of contraband, the sheriff’s search was also entirely uncalled for as the Sylvester Police Department did a search on March 17 — just a few weeks before — and found no drugs.

Haven’t you figured it out yet?
Once you send your child to the indoctrination centers – they have no rights.

They won’t win any lawsuit if they’re using only a violation of the boys’ and girls’ 4th amendment rights because these kids never had them, none of us has ever had them. They need to be prosecuted individually for sexual assault, which is what this was.
“No private person has a right to complain by suit in court on the ground of a breach of the United States constitution; for, though the constitution is a compact, he is not a party to it.” Padelford Fay & Co v. The Mayor and Alderman of the City of Savannah 14, Georgia 438, 520. This is an 1854 decision.
A compact is a treaty or contract (same thing) between two nations, not between a nation and its population. Those two nations in this case are the US and Britain, because we never gained independence from them, in fact King George III financed both sides of the Revolutionary War.
America is a British colony. The “United States” is a corporation, not a land mass and it existed before the Revolutionary War and the British troops did not leave until 1796. Respublica v. Sweers 1 Dallas 43, Treaty of Commerce 8 Stat 116, Treaty of Peace 8 Stat. 80, IRS Publication 6209, Articles of Association, October 20, 1774.

Without using this Legal jargon, explain this in laymen terms…. because the first thing that pops into my thoughts are …”The Right to remain Silent”… which is in the Constitution….
This isn’t legal jargon, it’s case law, and it’s written in fairly comprehensive English. Case law is law of the land, much like Roe v. Wade, and it is wise to learn how to use it to the truth’s advantage. They are decisions that set precedent, and are what make up over 800 years of jurisprudence. This means there is evidence in the law, in treaties, and in congressional record that proves without a shadow of a doubt they’ve been lying about the nature of this nation since its inception. This is perhaps the biggest fraud ever. We are not an independent sovereign nation, we’re still British colonies, (e)states, and plantations. Washington DC, however, is a sovereign nation apart from the (e)states.
When they are supposedly reading your rights, they are actually attempting to contract with you, tricking you into agreeing with their charges and list of rights. You have an inherent right to remain silent, why does everyone forget that and think only governments can give them that permission? Rights are not afforded by any government, they are afforded by our creator. Once you forget that, they’ve got you.
They use legalese (I call it goat-speak) to trick you into admitting their fraudulent jurisdiction over you. For instance, when they say after they read their lying list of BS they call Miranda, “Do you understand?”, or when a you go before a judge and he says, “Do you understand the charges?”, and you say yes, you’ve just agreed to them because in goat-speak understand doesn’t mean comprehend, it means to stand under, or AGREE. Saying yes to any question that ends in “understand?” by these liars should never happen.
I guess what I’m trying to get across is that we have been defrauded, lied to, manipulated, robbed, enslaved, and much, much more, and thanks to the internet, now we have access to these harsh truths, like we are not protected by the Constitution. And it’s irrefutable, because it’s their own words in legal record. I’m just trying to help their words come back to haunt them. 😉
disregard….
We anarchists don’t care what anyone says; we have no rulers.
That’s not anarchy, that’s reality – which defies political labels. You’re absolutely correct, we have no rulers, we have conquerors, but they are operating without lawful authority in a fictitious jurisdiction, one that they can’t even put us into, we have to do it for them (by identifying as our corporate fiction, which they own).
Reality is, we’re all born free with inherent rights afforded by our creator, not pretend ones that the government pretends to dole out and protect. Governments don’t give rights, they give privileges for which we must first contract then pay. Since when is it illegal to drive? Or to get married or have a baby? Since day one. EVERYTHING is illegal according to them, because we are slaves to them.
They only have jurisdiction over our “fictitious legal entity” or ID entity, they have zero jurisdiction over us unless we do. We put ourselves into slavery (their jurisdiction) when we use our names in all capital letters. Those names with all caps represent a cestui que trust account that the government created from our birth certificates and owns. And it is those names that are used for all commerce, so they’ve pretty much got us by the short ones on that one.
From thelawdictionary.com = “Capitis diminutio maxima (your name in all caps). The highest or most comprehensive loss of status. This occurred when a man’s condition was changed from one of freedom to one of bondage, when he became a slave. It swept away with it all rights of citizenship and all family rights.” Another thing most don’t know, there are several legal statuses, and we’re all at rock bottom.
“No State shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefore.” Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 US 105.
“It is impossible to prove jurisdiction exists absent a substantial nexus with the state, such as voluntary subscription to license. All jurisdictional facts supporting claim that supposed jurisdiction exists must appear on record of the court.” Pipe Line v. Marathon. 102 SC 3858 quoting Crowell v Benson 883 US 22.
“License, contracts, is a right given by some competent authority to do an act, which without such authority would be illegal. The instrument or writing which secures this right is also called a license. Vide Ayl. Parerg, 353; 15 Vin.Ab 92; Ang.Wat. Co, 61,85.
Redneck justice=redneck jurisprudence. Sorry but the lawsuit will go nowhere. When the school admin learned what the sheriff was planning, he should have called in the FBI.
That’s so funny. You think the FBI seeks justice. Please stay on the west coast. No moral high ground there.
New Jersey v. TLO. Look it up…. no law has been violated in the narrative provided in this article- all of these police activities fall under NJ v TLO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey_v._T._L._O.
Just a distraction from the even more heinous crimes…
Did you read the article? Did you see the highlighted section describing the activities of the cops?
“c) Deputies inserted fingers inside girls’ bras, and pulled up girls’ bras, touching and partially exposing their bare breasts. d) Deputies touched girls’ underwear by placing hands inside the waistbands of their pants or reaching up their dresses; e) Deputies touched girls’ vaginal areas through their underwear; f) Deputies cupped or groped boys’ genitals and touched their buttocks through their pants.
I can’t think of much that’s more heinous than the systematic molestation of hundreds underage males and females.
Child sacrifice, rampant and repeated pedophilia, MK Ultra mind control & actively coordinating depopulation to name a few. You need to wake up to what is REALLY going on. It makes this article read like a fairy tale…
Hundreds of millions dead from their manufactured wars, supression of enegry away from the individual to the metered and controlled system they control, mass poisioning of the population by many means, a slow kill medical system, a mental slow kill educational system.
the coppers should have just approached the boys and girls during “physical education” classes, while they were in the showers naked (an indecent travesty of a requirement of itself). Bring gloves and Vaseline, maybe cameras as well, to document The Rule Of Law in all its glory.
Perhaps they would like to have “First Night” with the young virgins next. As soon as one gets her first period, they get to have their way. Old enough to bleed, old enough to butcher, you know. And if any of them are the type that like the same sex, well…never mind.
Send these bastard to prison as child molesters, they will not last one year. PLUS if the school admin should never work in ed again
This is the future. Our kids are now the property of the State.
You are unfortunately absolutely correct. The government erroneously claims it owns America’s boys and girl.
The word, “children” is a legal term for their system of law, not ours, and there are two, admiralty law where everything is theirs as a corporation including us, and common law, where it isn’t. And according to the evil laws they wrote, “children” are property the state. But here’s the trick we all need to learn, corporations, by their law, may ONLY interact with other corporations, and in order for them to have authority over us, WE must give it to them by identifying ourselves as one of their corporations (we give evidence against ourselves, that’s how they do it!).
In their “color of law” (having the appearance of law but with no authentic authority), they own everything, including us, as human chattel/cattle to be dealt with in whatever way they wish, but only if they can trick us into admitting their authority or jurisdiction by identifying OURSELVES as one of their slaves. Otherwise, they can’t touch us, and I’m not kidding. We do this ourselves, admit their jurisdiction over us, unwittingly, because they don’t teach us this stuff in school – they save it for their agents – LAWYERS (none of them are good or benevolent, they ALL work for the same boss the elite/government does and it’s not American).
Here’s a handy fact, too: lawyers may ONLY represent infants, wards of the court/state (which we become the second we hire a lawyer), and persons of unsound mind – because we’d have to be incompetent crazies to hire a lawyer! Lawyers are NOT licensed in states, they are only registered with their trade Union, the Bar Association, which is a British organization that has nothing to do with us. This is the lie they’ve perpetrated on us for, well, ever – WE are supposed to practice our law, our common law!
Government’s “ownership” of America’s children is not secret. There are many court cases which openly declare that our purported government owns virtually all of America’s children. “The primary control and custody of infants is with the government.” Tillman v. Roberts 108 So. 62, Van Koten v. Van Koten 154 NE 146, Senate Document 43 & 73rd Congress 1st. session, Wynehammer v. People 13 NY Rep 378, 481.
According to Nichols v. Nichols (Civ. App., 247 S.W. 2d 143), …in its capacity of “parens patriae,” government may assume direction, control, and custody of children, and delegate such authority to whom it may see fit. (See, Ridgeway v. Walter, 133 S.W.2d 748, 281 Ky. 140;Shelton v. Hensley, 299 S.W. 979, 222 Ky 808.)
Outstanding information Grace. I would love to get some additional information on Corp Ownership. I tend to put thing in there simplest terms, such as:
The only real authority anyone has over you is the authority you give them.
Try and exist with out using their ‘benefits’ Try driving and explaing that to a power hungry cop, we all already have the birth cert and chattle number (SS) so they have jurisdiction over us no matter what we say.
Wow. Those pieces of paper are so powerful. Or maybe your just kind of wimpy.
Watch the movie: “The Thinning”… and ask yourself… or better yet, TELL YOURSELF what a damned idiot you are for giving your children to a government to “educate” them. If your kid was in that school…. or any government owned and run school, you deserve hell; you should be charged with child abuse.
Yes! I think that, just with what they do to your child’s mind, that public education is one of the most horrific abuses one can do to a child.
The sheriff should be investigated in order to determine who decided the “shake down” should be done. He failed to conduct his office properly, which qualifies him for dismissal from the position and being barred from future positions in police work, private and public.
The principal of the school should be investigated for ones role in the illegal search, and if no attempt were made to intervene and stop the illegal search, the person should be dismissed from the position.
The out of town police persons who assisted in the search should be required to attend educational classes on the duties of a police person, within the scope of the US Constitution and local laws that do not conflict with the USConstitution.
All males who handled females should be suspended, without pay, for 30 days. All males who placed their hands inside bras touching females´ breasts or felt inside underclothes and touched their vaginas should be suspended for 60 days without pay, and assigned non-police duties.
Female police persons who felt private areas of boys should be suspended, without pay, for 30 days and required to attend educational classes on the duties of a police person, within the scope of the US Constitution and local laws that do not conflict with the USConstitution.
The class-action lawsuit seems to me to be justified, and charges adjudicated.
Abolish school and all drug laws and the police and problem solved.
When the Government breaks the Law…Then there is no Law… Deal with it as you see fit….
Law creates crime; Frank Herbert. Always has, always will.
Unjust and inhumane treatment of others created the need for Law…. If people would just start treating each other with respect and kindness…or even just a mild intolerance, there would be no need for laws….
The purpose of law is to enslave free people. If people would just grow a pair, and not depend upon a violent governing force to substitute for their own spine, there would be no need for law.
