Gay porn past won’t strip Fla. cop of certification
Gay porn past won’t strip Fla. cop of certification


Mike Verdugo can keep his police certification after he was fired for not disclosing his previous job in gay porn.

The Fla. Cop was fired when a 1996 video appeared online showing a 15 minute clip of Verdugo in a bondage scene. It was part of a gay porn film called “Rope Rituals.”

Verdugo, now 36, said he made the film for $700 when he was 22 as a way of exploring his sexuality. He said that while he did perform nude in a bondage scene, he did not engage in “hard-core” sex, reported the Miami Herald.

A 19-member state panel heard his case and ruled that he can keep his certification. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement placed him on one-year probation and required that Verdugo take a state-approved ethics-training course.

“We won,” said Verdugo. “They voted unanimously. We’re done. My certification stands. I’m happy. Shocked — in a good way.”

2. Ethics course? Florida?
Pardon me, but that's the snicker-worthy part of the article. That's why HillbillyBob and I left Florida and came back to NC. Ethics in Florida?? Th'ain't any.

If nobody got hurt, they should have left the man alone. Any of his accusers will have done far worse than got nekkid.
