Pushing Vicodin pills and Captain-and-cola drinks on a minor that he raped and took secret photos of has resulted in an Ocala area lawyer being suspended by the state Supreme Court.
The action against Jason Volkman, 50, comes before an expected disbarment. This is the usual course of events for someone facing time on 44 felony charges and a misdemeanor. Volkman stepped into the custody of the Florida Dept. of Corrections on Oct. 9 to begin executing a 30-year sentence after pleading no contest to a laundry list of charges:
Sexual battery on a person aged 12-to-18 who is in your custodial care (one count); distribution of opiates (one count); video voyeurism (two counts); possession of photos depicting a child in a sexual performance (20 counts); facilitating a sexual performance by a child (20 counts); and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The boy, according to a Marion County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, was in need of sanctuary due to his stepfather’s abuse and was a friend of one of Volkman’s children. When he communicated his circumstances to Volkman, he was granted permission to stay with the family.
The teenager, however, reported that Volkman tried to intoxicate him with cocktails of Captain Morgan and Sam’s Club Cola, and sexually assaulted him while he slept on the couch. Each time he refused Volkman’s advances, the boy said he received threats of being returned to his mother.
Moreover, the boy recounted an instance of requesting Tylenol to treat his migraine headaches, but instead, Volkman provided him with Vicodin, a prescription drug containing the opioid hydrocodone.
The boy’s friend showed authorities a photograph of a phone charger present in the bathroom, which the Volkman’s child suspected to possibly be a hidden camera. Further suspicion arose when the boy showed the police a generic image of the charger from Amazon, where the product was listed as a “Kaposev 2K hidden spy camera,” a motion-activated, wireless charging power bank integrated with a nanny camera.
This all occurred in July 2021. Volkman was arrested Feb. 24, 2022. His release date is May 4, 2052.
