Pinellas deputy accused of having inappropriate relations with women he met on calls
Pinellas deputy accused of having inappropriate relations with women he met on callsA Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office deputy has resigned after he was accused of having inappropriate relationships with women he met on calls, according to an internal affairs report made public by the agency this week.
Deputy Frederick Post, 40, resigned in late December. He had worked for the sheriff’s office since 2013.
The internal affairs investigation began on Nov. 12 after a partner of one of the women contacted the sheriff’s office about the deputy’s conduct. Internal affairs investigators then spoke to three women who said Post had pursued relationships with them, including one that included a meet-up where Post and the woman had sex. Another woman said Post prompted a relationship where the two exchanged explicit photos, and a third woman said she believed he was trying to get her to send nudes, though they never exchanged explicit photos.
