Lake Wells, Florida

It has been a slow news week, except for the news of the death of James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano), so I mulled over the stories to find one person worthy of being named our person of the week. I think I found him.

First, one cannot overlook his service to the local church, serving as an elder. Also, he was involved with the local business community and civic activities. He had a top-notch career too, as one of the managing partners of Bunting-Tripp-Ingley-LLP Certified Public Accountants. Hell, some say he even made contributions to area children. And maybe that is the one trait that stands out the most, because in his latest adventure, he gained the most fame for trying to “make a contribution” to a child.

David C. Ullman, the Lake Wales man who was arrested on charges including soliciting sex from a minor, posted bond Tuesday afternoon, according to the Polk County Jail.

Ullman was one of more than 40 folks busted in the child sex sting operation.

Ullman's bond was set at $52,000 and for now, he has been banned from any contact with children or use of a computer. That means no sensual massage training classes, or further offers to provide oral sex to underage girls.

Right now, Ullman’s facing a laundry list of charges, including attempted lewd battery, unlawful use of a two-way communication device, seducing or enticing to commit a sexual act, and traveling to meet a minor, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies arrested Ullman on just before Father’s Day after he contacted an undercover detective who was posing as a 14-year-old girl. He said he wanted to teach the child about sensual massage and perform oral sex on her, the Sheriff's Office said. He told the undercover detective he was a 49-year-old man.

Ullman formerly served on the Lake Wales Charter School Board of Trustees and is still on the charter system's foundation board, along with the Polk Education Foundation board of directors.

In just a week, David Ullman destroyed a family, demolished a career and even made fellow church members say wtf?
