TAMPA CRIMINAL BLOG: Ex-Hillsborough County Deputy Pleads Guilty To Forcing Woman Ito Perform A Sex Act
The attorney for former Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputy Raymond Choy told the St. Petersburg Times that his client will plead guilty to charges that he forced a hit-and-run suspect to perform oral sex in exchange for her release. Choy was facing up to 60 years in jail on charges of kidnapping and sexual battery. Instead he will plead to sexual battery and false imprisonment and most likely serve five years in prison when Circuit Judge Wayne Timmerman sentences him in December.
The charges stem from an incident in April of 2007 when Choy was accused of agreeing to release a suspect from custody if she performed oral sex on him while in his patrol car. DNA tests later linked Choy to the victim leading to the charges. The judge in the case was set to allow a second woman to testify Choy also forced her into oral sex.
