Florida Department of Juvenile Justice
The state attorney's office in Escambia County, Florida, confirmed to ABC News on Wednesday that Grover has been charged as an adult. "These are good people. They're not crazy as some people are trying to depict them. They're basically decent people," said Etheridge, adding that Grover's father and Carroll's husband is one of his best friends and that he's representing them pro bono.
"This activity was discovered in October during Tate High School Homecoming court voting, when hundreds of votes were flagged as fraudulent," according to the affidavit. A day after the votes were tallied, the high school student council coordinator reported to district authorities that Grover was suspected of using her mother's access to the FOCUS program to game the homecoming queen election, according to the affidavit.
"The report stated that Grover had voted for herself in other students' names and she was able to do so because she had access to her mother's FOCUS account," according to the affidavit, which also included statements from students who told investigators that Grover had been using her mother's FOCUS account to glean information on classmates since at least her freshman year.
Ridiculous
This shit is just dumb
J—F—C
Remember those two girls who killed an Uber eats driver but won’t be charged as adults and a plea deal with no jail time? If you do, what say you? If you don’t, ask yourself why you don’t know the uber eats story.
It is more about unauthorized access to private computer information and committing electronic wire fraud. Not so much about the prom.
Not saying this is right but... This vs DJT’s collusion and DJT is still free... WTF! comes to mind... 👀
This is stupid. How about you throw some of those criminals they call politicians in jail
What a waste of our judicial time and money . Most expensive homecoming crown ever .
That’s the republican way
😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pensacola is a RED area of Florida. Following the law is foreign to them
This right here is dumb. 16 years? Is a dumb high school election! Biden gets four years to play daddy but this kid gets prison time WOW!
It's dumb af what people can go to prison for sometimes..
Oh, Flori-duh
Yeah and I’m the tooth fairy
Completely asinine! However the ex president can go on tv, spread misinformation, lies & create a base full of hatred & ignorance to lead an insurrection & all the politicians walk away clean.
16 years of prison? Worth it.
So Breonna Taylor's murderers get a ridiculous punishment which is very unfitting compared to what they did... And this kid could be facing 16 years In prison because of rigging a high school election.... BITCH PLEASE!!!
Adiós 🙌👋
This where people can carry an assault weapon whilst grocery shopping. “Only in America” used mean something amazing
For rigging a dumb homecoming vote? Give her community service and save the jail space for someone who really needs it.
Too bad the mom is not serving time with the daughter.
SIXTEEN YEARS?! Most people w/ assault charges don't even get that much! She should get 4 months at the most & pay fees. She can't do it again & no one got physically hurt or threatened. She needs to be punished for rigging votes though, that's serious but 16 years is a bit much.
More time than most rapists, child molesters, and murderers get 🙄 Way to go US judicial system
That’s some mess right there. Sheesh
16 years for hacking into a school election !! But yet a local guy gets drunk, wrecks the car, kills his passenger/girlfriend and runs from the scene. Sentenced to 1-3 years. The system is messed up 🤦🏼♀️
The punishments no longer fit the crimes in this country. I'm not sure they ever have but this is ridiculous.
Sounds like some real high school drama.
She wanted to be popular; she is.
That’s BS. Community service should do it
Meanwhile Democrats flooded swing states with undocumented votes to rig a meaningful election and they all got off without question...hmmm
While the boy who raped an unconscious girl behind the dumpster got a slap on the wrist.
Stunning since trump rigged the 2016 and got nothing
Seems a tad excessive...no?
16 years in prison - for rigging the election for Prom Queen? Totally ridiculous. Please don't ruin this young woman's life.
Call AlanDersh ... he’ll work out a sweet deal just like he did for Epstein
Not defending this, but it doesn't warrant prison.
Who knew that the punishment for rigging a homecoming queen election was worse than carjacking and murdering an Uber eats driver?
Nothing will happen to her....
American judicial system is insane, and ridiculous
Imagine being locked up over a contest but not locked up for almost collapsing your country. Wtf is this shit?
Omg if I lived in this county I would be mad that tax dollars were going to this. This is an internal problem that should end with an expulsion and the firing of the mother. Why are any police resources used on this? She is a dumb kid. 16 years, give me a break.
And Trump walks free........
But drunk drivers who kill someone will typically get about 4 years. What's going on here..?
Should of just rigged the presidential election you’d be president 😂
My city is always in the news for the absolute worst shit.
16 yrs for what again? I seen murders do less time
I think the charges are elivated because she used the FOCUS account not just to cheat but spy on people and use it as leverage for cyber bullying. The election rigging is just what she got caught for not what she being prosecuted for.
She needs to learn that what she did has Consequences. Better to learn this now. She was wrong. Needs to go to jail !
If you people believe she'll get 16 years, you're a moron. 5 years, out in 2yrs.
Meanwhile Trump...
16 years? Seriously! In the U.K. you get less for murder
Queen for a day, Inmate for 5840 days - FloridaJustice
Bet you anything,they're family values republicans.
Seems a bit excessive
Punishment is deserved. They did some serious stuff..but 16 years is a little silly.
POKI
Watch her get a longer sentence than Derek Chauvin 🤣
I'm going to chuckle at this the rest of the day. Thanks.
Meanwhile in California pedophiles sex offenders rapists murderers are all being set free...
She isn't smiling now lol 😆
She should of stole a car and killed the driver. Avoided prison all together
Thats dumb
Well sure the power she could have wielded would be enormous.
Ahh, America.
This is insane
Lol and the two black girls in DC who killed a Pakistani immigrant got a plea deal
How many years did the two girls that killed the Uber driver get?
16 years
