JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Shortly after News4JAX reported on a TikTok account that was recording inappropriate videos of women and children without their consent and posting them on the platform, the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office launched a new investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n
News4JAX has since learned that the Sheriff\u2019s Office had already begun several other investigations regarding the online content, which appears to have been secretly filmed in public places across Jacksonville, Palatka and St. Augustine. <\/p>\n
We are working to find out how many open cases there are and what investigators might have learned about the person behind the accounts, whose identity is still unknown.<\/p>\n
The original user\u2019s name on TikTok was \u201cstaugustineflorid,\u201d but that account \u2014 which included posts with disturbing content and captions such as \u201cvirgin white girl,\u201d \u201ccute teenage girl\u201d and \u201csexy lady\u201d \u2014 has since been banned from the platform.<\/p>\n
However, the problem has not gone away. Viewers and TikTok users have pointed to at least two other accounts they believe could be connected because they appear to post similar inappropriate and potentially illegal content of women and children in our area: @tjacksonville.flohorneym and @jacksonvilleflori3. <\/p>\n
Other accounts flagged by viewers include pages labeled \u201cT Jacksonville Florida Ladies\u201d and \u201cPleasantville Florida Real,\u201d which appear to feature the same type of voyeuristic videos.<\/p>\n
TikTok creator Jason Goodrich first brought the \u201cstaugustineflorid\u201d account to the attention of News4JAX and created several videos warning women about the pages, which he described as \u201ccreepy,\u201d pointing out that some of the subjects appeared to be underage. He told News4JAX that TikTok has removed multiple accounts after he reported them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have gotten three of the accounts taken down. I got the main one down, the teenage one down and the Palatka one down, plus the one we talked about in my interview,\u201d Goodrich said, adding that several women featured in the videos have since contacted him directly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThree girls that were actually in the videos have reached out to me, and they said one of them was 16 at the time, and the other one told me at the time she was recorded, she was 19,\u201d he said. \u201cIt sounds like he\u2019s been doing this for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
A JSO spokesperson shared the following statement about the case:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would always remind people, while out and about in a public setting, the potential exists to be captured on video or in pictures being taken by others. If the feeling is these pictures overstep into a privacy concern, or become construed as a potential criminal act \u2013 they can feel free to call JSO for a response and vetting of the scenario into a possible report writing and follow-up investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of those women spoke to News4JAX by phone and asked not to be identified because of privacy and safety concerns. She said she was 16 when she was recorded.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe and my mom were just out shopping, you know, just minding our business, nothing unusual,\u201d she said. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t think you\u2019d be watching for someone taking photos or videos of you, but that was back in 2022. I was 16 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said they learned about the video when a stranger messaged her mother.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was like two days later, somebody had messaged my mom that I didn\u2019t even know and was like, \u2018Is this you? This looks like you,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cIt was at a low angle. The page got taken down, and we thought everything was taken care of, and then in 2024, another account was created.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the woman, the same video resurfaced on the new account with the caption \u201csexy mom and daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, the video was reposted \u2014 the same exact one,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was disturbing more than anything, just knowing that they were so close and I didn\u2019t even notice it.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said her family filed a police report when they first discovered the video.<\/p>\n
The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office confirmed it has several active cases related to these TikTok videos, in addition to the new investigation opened after the News4JAX report, but we are still working to confirm how many cases there are and a timeline<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very happy to hear that they\u2019re starting an investigation. It\u2019s really good to hear,\u201d the woman said. \u201cI know that they\u2019re trying to do something about it and stop these people from doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goodrich said raising awareness is critical, even as questions remain about what criminal charges, if any, could apply.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we can\u2019t do anything about it legally at the moment, we can\u2019t get him arrested, make him as uncomfortable as he\u2019s making these women,\u201d Goodrich said. \u201cIf we make it known that he\u2019s going around doing all this, now everybody\u2019s on guard.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the main TikTok account had about 1,600 to 1,700 followers before it was removed.<\/p>\n
Local attorney Shannon Schott, who reviewed some of the posts, explained that videos or photos taken in public generally are not against the law. However, she said there could be civil claims if someone\u2019s name or likeness is used commercially to make money or gain influence.<\/p>\n
Schott said that if you look up an account and find yourself on it, you possibly \u201ccan pursue legal action.\u201d<\/p>\n
Regarding videos or photos of minors, Schott noted that Florida law does not have specific protections similar to those in states like California, but she said context matters.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s space in the law to say that these girls should not be on the accounts, especially since it definitely has an undertone of sexual motivation,\u201d Schott said. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that we have to tell women and girls to be aware of their surroundings, but that\u2019s just the world that we currently live in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schott also advised that if someone finds themselves in multiple posts by the same account, it could be grounds for cyberstalking or harassment charges.<\/p>\n
If you notice someone following or recording you in public in an inappropriate way, attorneys and law enforcement recommend telling them to stop and consider reporting them to police for stalking or harassment. JSO is asking anyone who believes they may have been recorded and posted online without consent \u2014 or who recognizes locations or people in the videos \u2014 to contact the Sheriff\u2019s Office or Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n
