SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — The founder of the Special Needs Advocacy Program (SNAP) in Central Florida was charged with sexually abusing children, according to the FBI's Tampa Field Office.
Authorities arrested 62-year-old James "Jamie" Grover after searching his home in Deltona and his workplace at the Seminole Town Center Mall in Sanford.
Investigators believe Grover has been targeting young boys since 2010 while working at SNAP, and while serving as a Group Director for "Autism on the Seas" — an international organization that coordinates cruise vacations for adults and families with special needs.
10 Tampa Bay acquired a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. According to the complaint, one of the alleged victim’s mothers accused Grover of committing “a sexual act” on her son aboard a Carnival cruise ship in May 2023.
According to the same complaint, a second mother came forward with similar sexual abuse allegations against Grover shortly after.
Investigators believe Grover could have more victims. They are asking anyone with more information to fill out this form.
