17-year-old Rape Victim Harassed and Belittled by Florida Deputy

"Based on the report released by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s office, the 25-year-veteran was reported saying “horrendous” things to the victim, telling her “I own you” and “I control you destiny” in regards to the case’s progress."

"Additionally, the victim stated that Martin asked inappropriate questions like whether the suspect “put it in [her] butt” and whether it hurt or not, despite the fact that, by Martin’s own admission, there had been no indication of anal rape. At one point, the officer implies that the situation was more akin to prostitution than it was rape, stating that the whole situation “sounds like [his] ex-wife.”

Pretty fucked up

letter sent by the department to the deputy, outlining the investigative results and the punishment to be handed down. The guy's conduct was outrageous, and I was pleasantly surprised at the level of response to the incident and to the disciplinary action. Pleasantly surprised.
