John Dubois, Palmetto Bay Vice Mayor, has an Accused Pedophile living at his house for the last two months. By Geniusofdespair

Not having seen the TV new last week, I didn't know accused Pedophile Stanley Kowlessar -- Marine Corps Vet -- was living for the last two months at Vice Mayor John Dubois's house in Palmetto Bay. Bravo to Gary Nelson for his exclusive report. Kowlessar is accused of sexually assaulting three former neighbors, one 9 years old.

Daddy Kowlessar supported both Lynda Bell and John Dubois in their campaigns.

According to the video, the dad Kowlessar Sr. knew about the first two and talked the neighbor out of reporting the crimes. He said he would get his son counceling. He is a plant Manager for Atlas Aerospace. Stanley Kowlessar Sr. has a Corporation with David Zisman. The first neighbors now say they are sorry they did not report the two assaults (rape included) because it might have prevented the third alleged assault to the 9 year old. The kid blames it on PTSD. I don't think so, rape and pedophilia are not a symptom.

Dubois held a fundraiser for the younger Kowlessar. Maybe Governor Rick Scott will kick in some money. The parents of the little girl next door to the Kowlessar family were outraged at Dubois's activities.

Until he is found guilty and given a jail cell to live in, at least being in this compound far away from children seems like an okay idea to me.
Even people accused of horrendous acts have a right to live somewhere.

Yes in jail without bail.

I guess when you give political support to the vice mayor, it doesn't much matter to be accused of rape to children. All is forgiven and the lame vice mayor will also raise money for you.

Guess the heat was too much: http://miami.cbslocal.com/2015/06/08/exclusive-palmetto-bay-vice-mayor-will-not-house-accused-pedophile/

Next fundraiser will be for Lauren's Kids.

Palmetto Bay cannot afford John Dubois.

Oh well. People get the democracy they deserve. Fortunately voters were smart enough to replace Dubois buddy Lynda Bell. Wake up Palmetto Bay.

Dubois invited the community via an article in Palmetto Bay's Community Newspaper. www.communitynewspapers.com/palmetto-bay/palmetto-bay-vice-mayor-john-dubois-to-host-community-fundraising-barbeque-in-support-of-decorated-marine-corps-veteran-stanley-kowlessar-jr/

The attack included 3 charges. None of the charges including the burglary are included in the Villages crime statistics for any time period since January to this date. I wonder why?

The history of "Junior's" other assaults mentioned in the reports by Gary Nelson on CBS4 occurred before his military service. One might guess that his military service was the result of those events and was meant to be a way to "straighten him out".
.
The "offense" or "assault" of such a young child is usually a non-bondable charge from what I hear. The "assault" of little girls as well as the other charges, the release on a bond of only 10% of $50,000 bond brings into question what kind of influence was exerted on the judge and by whom. I wonder how they even found a judge willing to hear a request for bond on this type of offense. It took long enough since the assault occurred months before the bond hearing was held.
.
Announcing and posting an invitation to the fundraiser in the Palmetto Bay News that doesn't mention the crime should raise flags to all those who attended and/or contributed at the lavish tented affair held at the Dubois estate. Maybe they could ask for their money back.
.
I wonder what other elected Palmetto Bay officials attended the event since Kowlessar Sr. supported the current Mayor and others during the recent election cycle.

Other questions might be asked: Did the position of Vice Mayor impact the positive outcome of the bond hearing?

Who hired the defense attorney?

Of course, all of this is just my opinion and thoughts on the subject.

The little girl who is the victim of the assault is 9 years old. Gary Nelson's most recent report includes comments by the child's father who says he found Kowlessar in the girl's bedroom.

It seems to me that steadfastly saying Kowlessar Jr. is not guilty just makes this little girl a victim all over again. So sad in my opinion that the leadership of Palmetto Bay has fallen so far.

Does it matter to anyone that the accused pedophile will be living 1 house away from Ludovici Park? I thought there was a rule about a pedophile living or staying within 500 feet of a playground. By the way, the new announcement on the housing issue is that Kowlessar will remain at Dubois' house until the trial in August. Bond was not revoked.

I heard the bond was paid in cash: $50,000. Wow! I had no idea that real estate (Junior is supposedly selling real estate) or being a warehouse manager (Sr.) paid so well to be able to pay that in cash. Is it legal to pay a cash bond without disclosing the source of the money? I'd like to know the source of all those dollars.

Did the school system know anything about this past behavior? Seems to me that if they knew about it they had a legal obligation to report it to protect any other children he might come in contact with.

Guess they didn't report it.

Did the school system know about the previous attacks? Did they report it as they are obligated to do?

I guess not cause he did it again or at least he's charged this time.

It appears to me the school system is not responsible. The bottom line here is the parents should have been more aggressive in handling this incident. I hope this little girl can recover from this horror. I am now wondering did this accused man assault any children while in the military since he says all this is PTS. I have never heard of such. Its a total dishonor to all the men who serve in our United States Military. This predator/pedophile should be in jail not living with a vice mayor of a municipality.. Citizens of Palmetto Bay this is your leadership now! Just my opinion.

So much more PB politics to this story it would make you head spin and it's not all about the vice mayor.

Unfortunately I know all the parties (families) involved on both sides of this case and without a doubt the accused did in fact commit the crimes as charged against the 9 year old as well as the prior victims stated. I hope the justice system works the way it is supposed to and the accused is convicted for the crimes with which he is currently charged, which by the way entails three seperate criminal charges that are posted on the County website, as well as a prior arrest of the accused years ago. If not, then this would be yet another example of the systemn being broken.

P.S. The PTSD defense is a total lie and using it as an excuse is a disgrace to all the men and women who have served our country with honor and dignity...many of whom are suffering from this terrible condition.

This is one "creepy" bunch of people.

I can assure you that Juniors past victims are not making this up (as I personally know both sisters... Only one sister told the parents after it occurred ... The other sister kept it secret (the police came looking for both sisters after they moved, due to a neighbor hinting to police that this has happened before) ... The one sister who told her parents after it occurred had a face to face meeting with both families, and it was decided that they not ruin juniors life for this mistake (hence the military) ...

They should lock jr. up and throw throw the key away . And as for his parents go they should be locked up for perjury .And as far as using the defense of PTSD is a crock. What is his excuse for the first couple of times it happened then ?

The new location where Junior Kowlessar, the accused child molester, is in the home of his younger sister's boyfriend's parents...and they apparently have no idea of the truth behind this story...its sad to think more innocent people are being duped into providing sanctuary for this individual who is probabaly a sociopath enabled by years of ignorance and overt bragadocious support by his father who lives in total denial of his son's true self...even when confronted directly by people assaulted by his son.

I wonder what excuse will be given next by the new caretakers of Junior when they begin to be ostracised by their neighbors when they learn of these new living arrangements...outrage, distrust and just plain unrest for their family's safety may be just a few of the comments that will be trumpeted aloud for all to hear.

I also wonder why the Kowlessar family is quoted by Vice Mayor Dubois as consisting of his close friends Stanley, Myriam and Stanley Jr...without mention of their daughter who is persona-non-grata during this whole sordid ordeal. I wouldn't be surprised if her silence is speaking volumes!

Poor Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay. Both of these towns are looking more and more like our northern neighbor South Miami. The Crazy House. We asked for incorporation and boy did we get it! And now we have these small town politicians with all their arrogance, sense of self importance, over inflated egos, vindictiveness, lobbyists as friends, and all the lovely characteristics of small time. i'm waiting for a reality tv show to come of this, either north or south of sw 184. Who will get it? Right now I say Palmetto Bay by a nose but Cutler Bay is inching forward. A few weeks ago it was Cutler Bay's Vice Mayor Ernie Sochin who is Jewish in a self-produced picture in Nazi cap with Swastika, now Dubois and this fiasco! Can we please unincorporate? At least for now we have competent MDC-D8 leadership. I'm writing in Daniella Levine-Cava's name in any future election ballot.

This is not about John Dubois, this is about an assault on a child by an adult, Stanley Junior Kowlessar. He should be in jail. H e should not have been released to the Vice Mayor of Palmetto Bay, John Dubois, because of money this creep is out of jail. The Judge needs to have her head examined and be replaced on the bench if she can not follow the law when it comes to a child molester.

Then to have a fund raiser for this creep, who claims PTSD, please, a horrible excuse. Mr. Dubois should also have his head examined, but wait this is about money for Dubois, from friends and political fat cats in my opinion. Once again Mr. Dubois shows bad judgment on his part. Can justice be that blind.
Great job Gary Nelson do not let up keep digging, there's more to this story.

Where's the evidence of the rape? How can you jump to conclusions so quickly??? If the father truly gives a crap about his daughter why isn't he making a bigger deal about it? Oh wait, could it be that this is all a hoax? Out of all of these comments AND articles I have yet to find a shred of evidence against Stanley Jr. all I'm seeing is accusations under the presumption that the alleged victims are telling the truth. I thought it was innocent until proven guilty, I guess I was wrong.
