Pepin Le' Pew: Shady ex-Poway CA councilman Brian Pepin abanons his city to harass a Registrant in FloriDUH

It seems everywhere Brian Pepin goes, he leave controversy in his wake, including after leaving his job as Poway CA city councilman to move across the continent into the festering cesspool of south FloriDUH, leading to controversy over his replacement. 

As noted in this social media post:

"Pepin became Senior VP of 1892 LLC in Dec 2021. He also has a local political consulting business. That explains Pepin‘s ability to bring in around $100,000 for his campaign to run for D1 council seat, which also began back in 2021. It probably also explains Pepin's adeptness at “dirty tricks” like the hacking of Hiram Soto’s account and changing his profile picture to that of a terrorist, and then using the fake profile pic in campaign flyers."

"Dirty tricks and misinformation are not new for Brian Pepin. In 2020, he signed an FPPC stipulation and was fined $2500 for failing to disclose who paid for a campaign hit piece in 2018. A fine like that might be disheartening to a community activist who doesn’t have the big bucks supplied by special interests, but to Brian Pepin, it is just a slap on the hand, and did not stop him or the Lincoln Club from doing more of the same."

A corrupt politician moving to the most corrupt state in the US? That's par for the course. Pepin Le' Pew is already stinking up his new community by harassing a neighbor.

Brian Pepin, a father of three and former member of the Poway City Council in California, publicly called for stricter sex offender residency restrictions during Tuesday’s St. Johns County Board of Commissioners meeting.

Now a political consultant, Pepin recently moved to St. Augustine with his family and said that a registered sex offender moved directly across the street from their home.

He shared the emotional impact this has had on his family during the public comment period.

“Last week we learned that the guy that moved in across the street was arrested a few years ago for having child porn,” Pepin said. “He’s got a Ring doorbell trained on my house. I’ve got these three young kids.”

Pepin noted that his wife has been deeply affected, saying she has been “crying herself to sleep at night.”

He also expressed frustration with current laws, stating, “There’s nothing that we’ve been able to figure out how to address this.”

He praised deputies from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office for responding to their concerns but acknowledged that within current legal boundaries, little could be done.

Pepin highlighted differences in sex offender residency restrictions across counties in Florida. In St. Johns County, offenders must live at least 1,000 feet from playgrounds and schools, whereas Duval and Miami-Dade counties have a 2,500-foot requirement.

“That won’t help us but it might be something to look at,” he said...
