Quick Glance: Convicted Sex Offender Receives Lengthy Prison Term
- A man sentenced to 220 years in federal prison for producing child sexual abuse material and hacking the jumbotron at the Jacksonville Jaguars stadium after his dismissal due to being a registered sex offender.
- Samuel Arthur Thompson from St. Augustine received his sentence from a federal judge in Jacksonville. Convicted in November for various offenses, including producing and possessing sexual images of children, violating the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, sending unauthorized damaging commands to a protected computer, and possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
- Thompson, aged 53, was apprehended in early 2020 after repatriation from the Philippines to the U.S. He had fled to the Southeast Asian country six months earlier following an FBI search and computer seizure at his residence.
- The Jaguars enlisted Thompson as a contractor in 2013 for their video board network design and later for jumbotron operations on game days. Upon learning of his conviction as a sex offender, the team chose not to extend his contract.

Arik Armstead signing with Jaguars: Former 49ers star lands three-year, $51 million deal, per reports
cbssports.com/nfl/news/arik-armstead-signing-with-jaguars-former-49ers-star-lands-three-year-51-million-deal-per-reports/
Quick Glance: Jaguars Signing Former 49ers Player Arik Armstead: Impact and Analysis
- The Jaguars are signing former 49ers defensive player Arik Armstead, as per sources. Armstead was released by the 49ers this week after recording five sacks in 12 games last season.
- Armstead will join the Jaguars' defense, adding to their strong lineup. The 49ers requested Armstead to take a significant pay cut, leading to his release. A trade to Houston fell through, resulting in the acquisition of Collins by the 49ers.
- Expected to play as a 3-4 defensive end for the Jaguars, Armstead has been consistent in penetrating pass plays and solid in run defense. His injury history played a role in the pay cut request and subsequent release from the 49ers.
- Armstead's potential hinges on his health, as injuries have impacted his performance and led to his release. His unique talent and versatility will be valuable if he can regain full health and maximize his defensive capabilities.
