Details are still emerging from authorities about Roshad Thomas, a Florida youth minister and businessman who admitted to molesting young boys, but his Facebook posts are revealing even more information.

Thomas, 41, worked with children at a church and a private school – both in Tallahassee. He is now being investigated for molesting at least five different boys, and his social media posts are enough to raise some eyebrows.

For starters, it seems like Thomas directed a great number of his posts directly toward “high school guys” or “middle school guys.” Often these posts advertised camping events or private bible studies, and the timing overlaps with the victims’ abuse.

Just last month, Thomas posted that “ALL high school guys” are invited to a retreat to discover “the man that God has called you to be.” He added, “Don’t be scared! Come! You won’t regret it. I promise.”

Similarly, in 2010, Thomas asked any and all “middle school guys” to join him for bible study. He asked the kids to bring $5 for “pizza, drinks, fun and Jesus.”

In almost all posts that describe a specific boy, Thomas refers to them as his “son” and he as their “dad” or even “daddy.” Most notably, Thomas described his relationship with a young boy who died of carbon monoxide poisoning while camping with an older man at Talladega Superspeedway last year.
