The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has arrested Robert Kulsar, DOB 04/01/95, 2541 Englewood Road, Englewood, on child pornography charges.

Detectives learned that a computer user in Sarasota County was downloading and sharing child pornography on the Internet using peer-to-peer software from a specific IP address. After viewing an extensive list of files available from that address detectives determined many of the titles suggested content including sexual abuse of sexual exploitation of children.

Detectives executed a search warrant today at the location for that IP address, which is Kulsar’s residence. A forensic examination of his computer revealed more than 32 images containing children involved in sexual conduct.

Kulsar is charged with 18 counts of Promotion of Sexual Performance by a Child and 32 counts of Possession of Sexual Performance by a Child. He is currently being held in the Sarasota County Jail without bond.

The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a woman for defrauding her Tampa employer of more than $56,000 over a period of 13 months.

The manager of Broadspire, a division of Crawford & Company, handles Workers’ Compensation Claims, reported a grand theft of tens of thousands of dollars. They learned of the impropriety from a client who received a 1099 tax form from Broadspire that reflected more than the amount received in benefits. The Tampa Police Department contacted Sarasota County detectives, since an internal audit of Broadspire records indicated Joanne Bell, DOB 8/15/75, 525 Hand Avenue, Sarasota, was involved.

The investigation revealed that Bell, who worked as a claims examiner, issued four checks in the client’s name but mailed them to her post office box in Sarasota. Ultimately, 35 checks totaling $56,195.66 were sent to Bell and deposited into her Chase Bank account between November 2011 and January 2013.

Bell was arrested Monday and charged with Scheme to Defraud. She was released from the Sarasota County Jail after posting $20,000 bond.

The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has arrested 21-year-old Asia Rosier and Jumar Edwards, 2706 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Way, Sarasota, for felony Child Neglect following the death of Rosier’s three-year-old daughter.

On April 11, 2013, a family friend called 9-1-1 after seeing Jewel Howard in medical distress. The child was pronounced dead and an autopsy performed the following day determined blunt force trauma to the child’s abdomen caused a lacerated/crushed liver, other massive internal injuries, and a vast amount of internal bleeding, leading to her death. Jewel also had two posterior broken ribs and other bruises on her body that the medical examiner said were not related to lifesaving efforts.

The investigation determined that the injuries inflicted upon Jewel occurred while she was solely in the care of her mother, Asia Rosier, and Jumar Edwards. They are currently being held without bond.

Both have criminal histories: five of Rosier’s prior arrests are for violence including Aggravated Battery Causing Bodily Harm and Edwards’ two most recent arrests are for Battery.

The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office is again participating in the National Click It or Ticket Campaign to save lives and remind motorists that the law requires them to buckle up.

From May 20 to June 2, law enforcement agencies throughout the United States are intensifying efforts to enforce seatbelt laws for all motorists around the clock. In Sarasota County, failing to wear a seatbelt will cost drivers $116.

Every year during the Memorial Day holiday, agencies join forces to send one clear message: 24 hours a day, seven days a week and from coast to coast, Click it or Ticket.

In Florida, all motorists are required to buckle-up when riding in the front seat, and passengers under the age of 18 must use proper seat restraints regardless of where they are seated in the vehicle.

Thanks to awareness campaigns such as this, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that seat belt use reached 86 percent in 2012, an increase from 84 percent the year before.

According to NHTSA research, men ages 18 to 34 are least likely to buckle up.
