DAYTONA BEACH, Fla -- Brutal rape allegations against County Council candidate Willie J. Kimmons were quietly dismissed in June by the State Attorney's Office without ever reaching a circuit judge. And yet a temporary order of protection was granted to the alleged victim by a judge.

However, her request for a permanent order of protection won't be heard until Nov. 9, the day after the general elections.

Kimmons, accompanied by private counsel refused to speak to Daytona Beach police investigators -- his rights under the law. And he's certainly not talking now -- at least not to this media outlet, which is outlining the rape allegations while recognizing the presumption of innocence is afforded Kimmons unless or until tried and convicted in a court of law.

The cam has been inoperable since last weekend. The audio is fine, but the video feed is off. The other county beach cam on the Flagler Avenue Beach ramp is working fine.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- While #Iamadeplorable and support Donald Trump, I believe there were some missed opportunties last night. The American people deserved to hear a real debate on the issues, however, Hillary kept attacking Trump personally as that is the only way she thinks she can win is by personal attacks.
