Former RPOF executive director: I saw a golf cart full of hookers at party Bahamas fund-raiser

Delmar Johnson, the state's star witness in the fraud and theft trial of former Florida Republican Chairman Jim Greer, told attorneys in a sworn statement that he saw a golf cart full of women – he thinks they were prostitutes - at a party fund-raiser in the Bahamas in 2008.

Johnson, 33, of Winter Garden, gave a video-recorded statement June 15 in the criminal case against Greer. The Orlando Sentinel obtained a copy Friday.

Johnson described the former party chairman as "dictatorial" and said Greer blind-sided him in early 2009 when he proposed creating Victory Strategies LLC, the company that prosecutors say Greer and Johnson used to steal money from the state party.

Greer says he did nothing illegal and that the company earned legitimate fund-raising commissions. Prosecutors say he set it up in secret and used it to funnel $125,000 of party money into his personal bank accounts.
