Mandated Daytona AA Member Rapes 9 Year Old Port Orange Girl

James Maxwell 43, a convicted violent felon was invited to a Christmas party in Port Orange by the girls parents. He later returned to abduct and rape the little 9 year old girl. They spent the night in a park. James Maxwell was on probation at the time and was attending mandated Daytona Narcotics Anonymous meetings and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. He has a long criminal history. He served 9 years for attempted murder in 1988 and 2 years for burglary in 1994. He is being held with no bail. This is horrible what happened to this little girl. The practice of mandating violent felons to meetings where minors are present needs to stop !

A 9-year-old Port Orange girl who was kidnapped and raped told police she woke up to find her neighbor, James Maxwell, sitting in a chair in her bedroom, according to court documents obtained Monday.

Maxwell, 43, who had been a holiday party guest at the girl’s parent’s house in the Brandy Hills neighborhood earlier Thursday night, then abducted the girl and raped her, police said. Reports say Maxwell told the child to take off her clothes. When she refused and resisted, Maxwell is accused of striking the child in the head.

When the mother reported her daughter missing, she told police she suspected Maxwell.

The mother’s reasons for concern about Maxwell, according to reports, was that “he was known to act strangely around children, he had a violent criminal past and left his residence early in the morning without explanation,” court records show.

According to reports filed in circuit court, authorities say Maxwell drove the child to a wooded area, raped her and took her to a park, where they stayed for the night.

  1. This is so stupid. The mandated aa/na attendance has NOTHING to do with the rape. If he’s walking around with a beer and smoking crack with the whore, he’s not even a member. Again, why the parents of the child would have a person like this at their party says a lot about their poor choices. Scum floats and clings together.

  2. I KNOW THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN about local Daytona Beach AA/NA member James Maxwell who raped a 9-year-old girl around Christmas 2011, then forcing her to spend the night with him in a park!

    THE COMMENTS ABOVE are in response to the article about the rape posted on this community site last year. AMONG THESE COMMENTS YOU WILL FIND INPUT FROM A FAMILY MEMBER OF MAXWELL’S GIRLFRIEND AS WELL AS SOME OF MAXWELL’S NEIGHBORS.

    THE RECENT ( NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLES RESULTING FROM A 10 MONTH INVESTIGATION), POSTED JUST BELOW THE LATEST NEWS ABOUT MAXWELL, ARE EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE !!!

    THIS ALL TIES IN TO THE REAL WORLD OF MASS RELEASING AND COURT MANDATING MENTALLY UNSTABLE, VIOLENT FELONS AND SEXUAL PREDATORS, AMONG OTHERS TO ATTEND UNSUPERVISED ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS AND NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS MEETINGS WHERE VULNERABLE PEOPLE ARE AT EXTREME RISK !

  3. Narcotics Anonymous chairpersons, Phil and Don have decided to intensify the painful controversy at Sunrise Park in Holly Hill Florida. They have chosen to openly act in direct opposition to local community citizens who have asked them to please give this Park/Playground a break. They were asked nicely if they would please consider doing this after community members had endured many incidents of harassment and violent threats, including death threats, WHICH WERE COVERED UP BY “N A MEMBERS INCLUDING PHIL,” almost 2 years ago now. See the story, “THE RUDE AWAKENING,” to better understand. Their response, to this day is that they, “DON’T CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK.” They have also openly chosen to ignore their organization’s traditions and act in direct opposition to the majority conscience of Daytona N A as well.

    Don and Phil are completely fixated on using Sunrise Park/ Playground for attracting this, undeniably high risk, group. Almost 2 years into it, they now have decided to double up the opposition by bringing more meetings to Sunrise Park! Since they have chosen to lock into this direct conflict with the community I have brought some articles back to the front to appeal to everyone’s common sense as to why there might be a more appropriate place for these court mandate, probationary, drug rehabilitation sessions than at a playground!

    ESPECIALLY SUNRISE PARK AFTER ALL WE’VE BEEN THROUGH ! !

  4. Update on James Maxwell-

    His pre-trial is set for April 10th 2012 at 1:30 p.m. James Maxwell is currently still incarcerated.

  5. I Live Very Close to this Creep, and was warned to watch him around my children… I was informed of his inappropriate. Behavior with the girlfriends. Kids who were removed from the home.. then heard the girlfriend is due any day with his child. He has other children that were raised by His Mother while serving time in Prison. And now the State will be paying to raise another child from this Sick Scum Bag !! As far as the Party goes…the guy is the type to invite himself over… if see someone having a beer he walks up with a beer in hand and tries weasel his way t into your home… We would be Rude and ignore him.. I would like to Know when . And where his Trial is !! I want to See him Pay The Price for his unforgivable Sin I know the child he Stole her innocent s from she will never recover from this !! May he suffer the rest of his live and Burn in HELL!!

    • My heart goes out to the little girl. I hope she is getting all the help that is available to help her heal emotionally as best she can.
      You just have to wonder why his girlfriend would even want to be with a man that was known to dangerous around children? The fact that her own children were taken out of the home in part because of him was a clue for to remove HIM from her home as well. I wonder if she will be allowed to keep her baby?

      Her own daughters I would assume know of his crime with the little girl. What must they think that there Mom stayed with this man?

  6. What is the connection between:
    a.) A felon was required to attend NA meetings; and
    b.) This same felon attacked a neighbor’s child?

    • Hi Tim, The connection between felons required to attend NA meetings and kidnapping and raping a 9 year old is that this is the kind of people they are sending to NA meetings.This guy had a violent history of attempted murder that he did 9 years in prison for. Both the Courts and AA and NA are guilty of co mingling minors and seriously dangerous felons, including sexual predators. The courts need to set up special meetings that are exclusive to those in the criminal justice system.

      Minors should not be allowed at these meetings with high risk dangerous individuals. I wonder how the members at his group feel that they had their children hanging around this guy at the meetings knowing that he was capable of such a horrific act against a child. He was known to act strangely around children as it was. Many single vulnerable Moms are mandated to NA and bring their kids along. Not a good idea. Courts are even mandating teenagers to the same AA/NA meetings as sexual predators and other violent felons. This is just plain lunacy and shows a total disregard for the safety of children and teens.

    • I am just as outraged about this whole thing. It totally could have been prevented. How do I know? Well For starters I am a family member of the girlfriend of Maxwell. Back in Aug of this year before the mandated AA. The family of the girlfriend were made aware of the happenings going on in Brandy Hills neighborhood. We had to get involved with the state to get his girlfriends two daughters (5 and 15) out of that house with them. Girlfriend is due to have a baby (girl) mid March. Maxwell is the father. The girlfriend of Maxwell and victims mother along with Maxwell, used crack together.They have been doing crack the whole summer. So what I am saying is it was all preventable. Why if you know a man is not allowed near your girlfriends children and you are aware of the situation would you allow him in your home in the first place. He needed to be in jail on the first charge.

      • OMG-This is horrible. I thought it was very odd that the mother knew he ‘acted strange around children’,yet invited this man over to a Christmas party?
        Also he was a convicted felon for attempted murder and robbery. They dont mention how the man got back in their house. I assume the door was left unlocked,otherwise Maxwell would of broken into the house. What kinda errand did they run at 12:30 at night after the Christmas party? Did they go to AA/NA meetings together?

        DCF must have found grounds to remove the children from Maxwell’s house. Was that because of Drug Use? What was going on in Brandy Hills subdivision?

  8. OH MY F######king GOD! Can these stories get any worse? I am so sorry to this little girl. How horrific. This is what we are talking about. The courts have to be sued and told to stop mandating anyone to AA. I am outraged.
