George Zimmerman Accused of Molestation by Childhood Friend: Smear or Relevant?

An unidentified female witness, better known as Witness 9, claims that George Zimmerman made sexual advances at her during their childhood. George Zimmerman faces a second-degree murder charge from the February 2012 shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. So, what's the relevance?

Witness 9 says she knew George Zimmerman during his childhood and would stay with him and his family. She also said Zimmerman used his two-year age difference and bigger size to intimidate her and reported Zimmerman "would put his hands under my pants, under my underwear … I would try to push him off, but he was bigger and stronger and older."

The unidentified witness continued to say that she never witnessed any racism from Zimmerman or his family. Other than her experience with Zimmerman over two decades ago, she didn't add anything else to the case. Did prosecutors need to include her as a witness for character development? Or was it just an attempt to smear George Zimmerman?

    An 8 year old and a 6 year old playing dirty doctor is not child molestation. Its actually considered normal behavior by many psychiatrists.

    It was two children. Not molestation. What kind of garbage is this?

    Irrelevant to the case but very believable.The man comes off as is a shifty eyed control freak.
    but the fact he's also a murderer has nothing to do with this.

    Funny, you don't know me from a hole in the wall and yet you "judge" my character by stating what kind of person i must be to pass judgement on Zimmerman. How hypocritical can you get? Support the liar all you want , but try doing so,without putting down anyone else;s opinion or judging their character, i know how difficult that is for you Zimmerman supporters, but do try.

    It;s called an opinion and in mine he IS a murderer. Funny thing is, when you Zimmerman supporters state that his claim to self defense is a FACT you are the ones who speak as if you were there and swallow everything he claims. Quite a double standard i would guess.

    I know enough about his character to form an opinion.

    i know he lies, contradicts himself, needs a gun at his side in order to show what a big man he thinks he is then proves without a doubt what a true coward and wuss he truly is. i know he assaulted a police officer, beat his girlfriend, threw a woman across the room in a bar lied about his finances, lied at his own bond hearing and on and on and on. do i know him???? Nope and more than happy i don't

    Some would say that the facts are irrelevant, it is the seriousness of the charge that matters.

    I wouldn't say that, but then again I have a working brain.

    Eyewitness testimony, and unlike most abuse victims, she confided in her family and they confronted Zimmerman.

    He did not deny that it happened at that meeting.

    You "not one iota" is perhaps overly optimistic.

    bull?? As much as agree that this new development really has nothing to do with issue at hand. Having said that, how do you defend this guy hiding his income at his first bail hearing??? How can conservative America be so compassionate to this jealous intimidated killer, but at the same time be so unconsiderate of Trayvon's Family loss???

    1. Zimmerman harrassed Trayvon overstepping his neighborhood wtch status(The cop even told him not follow Trayvon??)
    2. Zimmerman kept following because he felt he didn't belong in that neighborhood.
    3.The kid was just buying Skittles.
    4. Zimmerman incited the altercation, which resulted in this so called self defense case
    5. How many killers do you know that get to walk around a police station afterwards???
    6. Is Al Sharpton supposed to turn his back because conservative America can't indentify with your life over race and/or social class?
    7.You speak of race war, but do you really believe your language twarts such activities? (just sayin')
    8. Same thing happened in my town, and the press(The Morning Call-Tribune) took 2 months to even show the shooters face. Victim was a young black unarmed male. Turns out the white middle aged guard wasn't suppose to even carry a weapon on the job. Things ike this happen more often than, and you expect minoritie...

Try to reverse the situation sir, and reexamine the stories. By the way Al Sharpton was to be involved, but the victims mother already had representation. Look up Michael Randolph case in Allentown, Pa.

    I am not defending him or condemning him. He does not sound like the type of person I would like to be around or know. As far as I am concerned, he and Trayvon did wrong things and made stupid decisions. I do feel for Trayvon's family, no matter what a kid does, you still love them. I am sure they are devastated and now the boy has no chance to straighten his life out. That being said, it does not justify a which hunt. Stick to the facts, leave race out of it. There is far more black on black violence than anything else but we never hear about that. And what about black on white? Why? Because it's politically incorrect to point out black violence. As far as "walking around a police station", it was assumed he acted within his legal rights, cooperated with the police and his gun was legally owned. Also, as far as reversing the situation, I grew up in a Hispanic (about 90% Mexican) neighborhood and I was terrorized. I couldn't even walk to the park without being attacked or threatened, and I was just a little girl! I've had dogs let out on me by adults, chased with bats and chains by groups of teenagers and called every foul name you can think of. Don't you dare lecture me on white "racism". I have suffered from violent racism, unlike most people who only perceive it or go around trying to find it.

    It isn't relevant to the 2nd degree murder charge per se, but it will make it extremely unlikely that he won't survive in general population once he's convicted.

    I agree with you fully its normal stuff kids do and is considered a normal part of growing into your sexual feelings as a kid. But I counld't help but notice you are both a conservative and a christian and couldn't help but think to myself hmmm if you support the science behind psycology the you must know the American phsycological association's stance on homosexuality and these are the best of the best...Forgive me if im jumping the gun but I must assume that you are against people being homosexual...and gay marriage, gays in the military etc.....if you are and your not familiar with APA's stance on homosexuality I will be happy to show you what they said reguarding homosexuality on it's site


    What causes a person to have a particular sexual orientation?

    There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors.

    Is homosexuality a mental disorder?

    No, lesbian, gay, and bisexual orientations are not disorders. Research has found no inherent association between any of these sexual orientations and psychopathology. Both heterosexual behavior and homosexual behavior are normal aspects of human sexuality. Both have been documented in many different cultures and historical eras. Despite the persistence of stereotypes that portray lesbian, gay, and bisexual people as disturbed, several decades of research and clinical experience have led all mainstream medical and mental health organizations in this country to conclude that these orientations represent normal forms of human experience. Lesbian, gay, and bisexual relationships are normal forms of human bonding. Therefore, these mainstream organizations long ago abandoned classifications of homosexuality as a mental disorder.

    Much more about it to you would be happy to read. :)

    My point exactly when someone says something you don't want to hear using the same evidence of normal human sexual behavior and uses psycologists opinion on the manner if its then something you dont want to hear....it has nothing to do with what you were talking about so you don't want to listen to it or talk about it. Why because you know your views towards homosexuals don't stand a chance to the real evidence.

    If one participant is forced it's NOT playing. Who do you know that plays doctor until the age of 16. No, this is molestation, not playing.
