A 62-year-old man who had been accused of raiding his parents’ bank account and spending their money on the “Sugar Daddy” dating site, appears poised to escape prosecution.

James Earl Winderweedle Jr., who had moved into his parents’ home in the Village of Santo Domingo to act as a caregiver for his parents, had been confronted by his sister last year over alleged misuse of their parents’ money.

The parents had been moved to an assisted living center. The 89-year-old father died in June.

The younger Winderweedle had been arrested last year after the Florida Department of Children and Families had received a complaint that Winderweedle had misused his parents’ financial resources. An investigation showed that Winderweedle had transferred money from his parents’ checking account to a Pay Pal account where he had met a 22-year-old woman on a dating website called, “Seeking Arrangement.” The website bills itself as the “#1 Sugar Daddy Dating Site.” Winderweedle allegedly paid the 22-year-old $150. The report indicated that other payments were believed to have been made to other women through the site. Winderweedle was also believed to have helped himself to his parents’ bank account and credit card to fund his living expenses, the report indicated.

He had been charged with larceny and exploitation of the elderly.

On Wednesday in Sumter County Court, Winderweedle entered into a pre-trial intervention agreement that will enable him to avoid prosecution.

He entered no plea to charges of theft from a person 65 years or older and exploitation of the elderly. In return, a second charge of exploitation of the elderly was dismissed.

The home on Camero Drive is still listed in his parents’ names, according to the Sumter County Property Appraiser’s Office. It is not known if the younger Winderweedle continues to reside there.
