Mr. Ingram was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of three counts of
sexual battery on a minor. He filed a public records request for a videotaped statement
made by the minor victim but the trial court denied the request. The Fifth District Court
of Appeal overturned the lower court and certified a question of great public importance
for this Court’s review concerning whether the unredacted videotaped statement is
exempt and confidential and not subject to a public records request. The state
appealed.
