Child Abuse Advocate & Attorney Who Took Advantage Of Rape Victim Caught With Pants Down Looking At Child Porn In Bed

For the better part of 2019 and 2020, I reported on corruption in Lee County Florida, which stemmed from a rape settlement to Deanna Williams.  Williams had hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen from her by her attorneys and given to an attorney that she never hired due to Dolce selling him the rights to sue Ms. Williams.  However, that attorney, Scott Mager, took the place of Williams’ former attorney, Michael Dolce, who bailed on her in a mental meltdown during negotiations, and has been going after Williams for years, obtaining a judgment against her that surpassed what she got in the settlement, even getting a judge to issue a warrant for her arrest while she was pregnant, ultimately leading to the loss of her child due to the stress.  Well, now, Michael Dolce has been busted in his own bed with a laptop open, downloading and viewing child pornography by the FBI.

Keep in mind that the reason Dolce left Ms. Williams was because no one in the room wanted to hear about his own trauma as a boy in which he was molested during a game of Twister.

The Justice Department issued a press release on Wednesday.

MIAMI – A 53-year-old West Palm Beach licensed attorney has been arrested with possession of child pornography. Michael T. Dolce will appear in a West Palm Beach federal court tomorrow for his initial appearance.

According to the filed criminal complaint affidavit, on March 15, FBI agents executed a search warrant at Dolce’s West Palm Beach apartment. They discovered Dolce actively downloading child pornography using peer-2-peer software. Nearly 2000 images and videos of child pornography were recovered from his devices.

U.S. Attorney Markenzy Lapointe for the Southern District of Florida and Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey B. Veltri of the FBI, Miami Field Office, announced the charges.  

FBI Miami, West Palm Beach Resident Agency investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Schiller is prosecuting the case.

A complaint contains mere allegations, and all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood (PSC), a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals, who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.  For more information about the Project Safe Childhood initiative and for information regarding Internet safety, please visit www.justice.gov/psc.

Related court documents and information may be found on the website of the District Court for the Southern District of Florida at www.flsd.uscourts.gov or at https://pacer.flsd.uscourts.gov under case number 23-mj-08161.

Those nearly 2,000 images and videos on Dolce’s laptop will probably be used by the FBI in violating the law to distribute to future child porn addicts in order to bust them, which they have done on many occasions.  Of course, the FBI has child porn viewers itself, which is not surprising.

The Palm Beach Post adds:

Prosecutors say Dolce used a BitTorrent network, which are built for peer-to-peer file sharing, to anonymously download pornography depicting children between 5 and 11 years old in sexually explicit positions. Authorities have not said what led to them to obtain search warrants of Dolce’s home and car.

Dolce worked as a partner at the Palm Beach Gardens law firm Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, where he led the firm’s Sexual Abuse, Sex Trafficking and Domestic Violence team, according to a now-deleted entry on the firm’s website.

“Dolce brings to his work the insight and commitment of a survivor, having himself been the victim of sexual abuse as a young boy at the hands of a sadistic predator,” the entry says.

In a statement to The Palm Beach Post, the firm said it was “stunned and saddened” by the allegations against Dolce. A spokesperson confirmed he was fired as a result and is no longer affiliated with the firm.

Prior to his arrest, Dolce was acclaimed for helping push Florida to lift its statute of limitations on sex offenses protecting Catholic priests and others from prosecution.

Dolce served on the advisory board of Florida’s Children First, a nonprofit legal-aid organization devoted to representing children in “at-risk” situations, according to a now-deleted entry on its website.

The website entry said Dolce founded a political committee called “Protect Our Kids First, Inc.” and served on the governing board of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in West Palm Beach.

Aimee Adler Cooke, a spokesperson with the church, said congregation leaders have instructed Dolce not to attend or participate in church events until further notice. She declined to comment on the allegations or say whether an internal investigation is underway.

Keep in mind that Dolce also worked for a short time with Scott Mager, the man hounding Ms. Williams for millions of dollars after taking $600,000 of her settlement money without her permission.

I contacted Ms. Williams about this matter and she said regarding one of her previous encounters with Dolce, “When he explained to me that it’s perfectly natural for an adult man who’s been sexually abused during formative years to have ‘physical response’ to a child sitting on his lap I knew he was demented. Still somehow I hoped I heard him wrong.”

“He qualified that and similar statements by saying it would be wrong to act on those urges, as if that made things okay,” Williams said.  “Complete depravity. I hope he never sees a child again.”

The following are all my reports on the corruption in Lee County and the State of Florida regarding Deanna Williams.
