  6. Ocala Star-Banner v. State

    697 So. 2d 1317 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1997)   Cited 1 times
    In 1993, Clinton Adams was charged with several counts of battery on his children and stepchildren. He was also involved in a separate dependency proceeding brought by the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. One of the allegations against Adams was that he transmitted to the children a sexually transmissible disease. In 1996, the trial judge rendered the order discussed above. It is based on section 384.29, which provides for confidentiality of information and records concerning suspected cases of sexually transmissible diseases, and expressly exempts them from the provisions of section 119.07 (1). See Barron v. Florida Freedom Newspapers, 531 So.2d 113, 118 (Fla. 1988).
