Nude scandals, toll scandals, prostitute scandals


subscription required to read Scott Maxwell op:


Earlier this week, the Sentinel reported that an Orlando Police lieutenant — one who specialized in prostitution arrests — had been accused taking nearly $10,000 from a prostitute who said she paid the money "to protect her from getting arrested."

To most people, this looks like a problem. Not, however, to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

After reviewing the woman's complaints — including bank records that showed 17 deposits, totaling $9,500 into an account belonging to Lt. Samuel Riggi — the FDLE concluded: "These allegations do not warrant criminal investigation by FDLE at this time."

Um ... what? A cop whose job is to police sex workers is accused of getting paid by a sex worker — and having regular sex with her to boot. And the state doesn't think that's worth investigating?
