ORLANDO, Fla. — Today in an Orange County courtroom, the defendant accused of sexually abusing children with autism, James Bernard Grover, will be sentenced.
In September 2024, we initially reported on Grover. The Tampa FBI office then appealed to the public for help in identifying more potential victims after arresting a founder of a special needs program accused of sexually abusing minors, authorities said.
The FBI apprehended him for utilizing his position to exploit vulnerable children over a period exceeding ten years.
The sentencing hearing is scheduled to commence at 2:00 PM. He faces the possibility of life imprisonment.
