SOUTHWEST FLORIDA - Think of the worst party you would NEVER ever want your teen to go to. That's what some neighbors and deputies uncovered after a house party got out of control.
Neighbors knew the man who owned a home on Thrush Avenue in Buckingham had parties on occasion. Sometimes they say it got a little rowdy. But a call to 9-1-1 and a passed out teen exposed a disturbing world of alcohol, sex, stripper poles, and pornography.
"I was appalled. I was heartbroken actually," said a neighbor.
One neighbor spoke with us on the condition we wouldn't release their name or show you what they look like. The neighbor is one of several who went over to help when emergency crews arrived. Then deputies showed up and they went inside.
"The whole living room had a stage built with a pole, and there were these girls...one of them was like, 'I am almost 15'."
"There was a couple (of girls) with nothing on."
The Lee County Sheriff's report says the young teens performed exotic dances, while pornographic movies played on TVs, and others had oral sex.
The report says the host of the party wasn't there when deputies arrived. But the sheriff's office tracked him down a few hours later. Deputies arrested 26-year-old David Rieser. Investigators say Rieser charged the teens a $5 cover to get in.
"Under age kids stripping, having sex in your home...drinking, is a misdemeanor. I'm appalled," says the neighbor.
Rieser got out of jail and faces a misdemeanor charge of hosting a house party for minors with alcohol or drugs. Neighbors told us they think he got off easy because his father is a deputy for the Lee County Sheriff's office.
Sheriff Mike Scott says there's no way that's the case.
"I think it's a little inappropriate that the neighbors say we some how covered for his 26-year-old son, he's an adult a full grown man," says Sheriff Scott.
In fact he says Rieser could face more charges.
"We're in the business of throwing the book at em' so to speak, we don't hold back on charges," says Sheriff Scott.
