Escambia Man, 69, Charged With Molesting Two Santa Rosa Girls
June 1, 2025
A 69-year old Escambia County man is facing charges for allegedly molesting two underage girls in Santa Rosa County.
James Philmore Phillips, age 69 of Waterford Lane, was arrested May 23 in Escambia County before being transferred to the Santa Rosa County Jail.
Phillips is charged with two counts of molestation or a victim less than 12 years of age.
Phillips was observed on a living room security camera molesting two girls, according to an arrest report. The report notes that Phillips was regularly providing childcare for the girls. Investigators said the girls told deputies about other similar incidents in the past.
The report states Phillips denied the allegations, but deputies said his statement was “contradicted by the video.”

You have zero right to privacy in communal areas of someone else’s home. The law only covers areas where you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as bathrooms, bedrooms, etc. Just wanted to throw that out there. 100% chance the video will not be excluded.
Lord how can people stop so low if you that desperate go get a an escort there are plenty of them on skip the games
I read this website every day. This is around the 4th or 5th time it was someone providing childcare. That is in addition to articles where it was the teacher, the band director, the youth pastor, the friend next door, etc, all of whom were people entrusted with children into their care.
According to a child advocacy group, over 90% of child sex crimes are committed by people they know and 95% of that is preventable with education of both parents and children. Something to think about.
How horrible can a person be to ruin children’s entire life for their own personal benefit? These people are evil, sick and need to be put somewhere where they have no connection whatsoever with our innocent children. God bless our beautiful babies. God is watching.
He will be reminded by all the inmates
Pray the defense doesnt win on excluding the video. Not sure if a hidden camera is legal. But glad the proof is there
Bring back the Firing Squad.
You are not gonna be treated well in prison! I hope you regret what you did to those poor girls every day for the rest of your miserable life!
