Juvenile Detention Officers Fired After Investigator Find Porn on State Computers

August 7th, 2008 by flanews

The Department of Juvenile Justice fired 12 detention officers after investigators found pornography on state computers. At least one of the officers fired from the St. John’s Detention Center in St. Augustine was a supervisor. Investigators found adult pornography on several computers, but no child pornography. The department doesn’t think any kids in the detention center were exposed to the images. DJJ Secretary Frank Peterman didn’t offer too many details about the investigation, but he said his department is devoted to keeping its employees from accessing sexually explicit websites.

“To have them be involved in something this heinous in my mind and in the mind of DJJ senior staff and others in this department is very bad, it’s a top priority issue,” said Peterman.

The investigation is still ongoing and will be extended to other juvenile detention centers in the state.
