Volusia County man who founded special needs program accused of sexually abusing children; more victims possible

FBI believes James ‘Jamie’ Grover targeted young boys since 2010

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – A Volusia County man who founded a special needs program is accused of sexually abusing minors, according to the FBI.

James “Jamie” Grover, 62, was arrested Wednesday after special agents searched his Deltona home and his business at the Seminole Town Center Mall in Sanford. The FBI did not say what was found in either location.

According to the agency, Grover founded the Special Needs Advocacy Program, or SNAP, which “provides opportunities to the special needs community.”

“The FBI believes Grover targeted young boys between the timeframe of 2010 to the present while working at SNAP and while serving as Group Director of Autism on the Seas, an international organization that developed cruise vacations for adults and families living with special needs,” a release said.

According to Autism on the Seas, Grover last worked with the foundation in 2013.

Anyone who believes they or their child has been victimized by Grover or has any helpful information in the case is asked to visit www.fbi.gov/snapvictims and fill out a form.
